One of the best Westfields I've been to in a long while! Huge, clean, modern and full of variety…read more With Kmart, BigW and Target all under the one roof you're all set! Seems silly to be writing this but I really liked the thought that went in to the toilets! The normal female toilets had a double width cubicle for fitting a pram in and also a cubicle with a little children's toilet. It's not often you find that in the regular toilets. Normally a lone mummy with a pram is forced to wait for disabled toilets or parents room toilets which in a busy centre can result in a long wait. Whilst the centre may have been slightly smaller than my local Chatswood Westfield the inclusion of the 3 major department stores along with the atmosphere meant that for me it was a winner! If only it was closer to me!

The owner has been there for years and is a lovely guy who knows what he's doing. There are all sorts of cleaning and protecting products, so you can do it all yourself, however I prefer the expert to have a go. There's key cutting and a huge selection of bags. Luggage for travelling or canvas bags for the everyday. He will always try and help you fix your items and don't be surprised if he calls you his "Habibi!"

There is a lot of formal wear that isn't really my cup of tea, however, she stocks some cute labels. Studibaker, Truese, Paco PM, to name a few. The store is really boutique-y and has a nice feel to it. You may find a cute little bag or some gorgeous patent stilletto's. She has ready to wear cocktail and formal wear but you can order bridal or evening gowns as well. You have to give a few months notice, of course. Overall, a pleasant little outlet.

It's a pretty simple store with not a lot of space, but they have jam-packed the space they do have with furniture. And its not the cheap stuff either. If you're wanting to assemble your own furniture, and maybe dont care if it breaks down after a year, try ikea. But if not, and if you live nearby and are scanning the area for that specific piece of furniture, come on in and take a look at whats around at Chris's. You'll probably know within the first few minutes if the place has what you need or not, so stop by. But maybe don't go out of your way to get here.

But when you completely fill them like I do, they tend to buckle and wear out quite easily. So I have begun to invest in proper, quality wood bookscases. Chris's timber furniture offers well sized and good quality stained bookcases and the prices are reasonable, I can pack them full of books and DVDs and they won't buckle. They also sell custom made furniture which would be more expensive and they have really good bedroom storage also reasonably priced, I might go back and get one of those cane basket storage thingies, oh didn't I mention I buy too many clothes too.
