This is a really big showroom which I think carries most of their range…read more I'd already picked out a sofa I liked online and just wanted to see it in person, put it through the sit test and also see the different colour options as computer screens can be notoriously inaccurate. The entrance to their carpark was really hard to find in the dark and being on the side of a slip road means you can't safely walk to it from Fort Kinnaird, or at least there was no path I could see in the dark. Luckily the sofa I like was quite near the door and I spotted it almost straight away. A salesperson came over and chatted to my friends and I and answered all my questions & told me about finance options etc etc. He was quite pushy about trying to get me to put an order through on the spot which annoyed me. I told him I hadn't actually taken any measurements and therefore wouldn't be ordering anything yet! They offer a site survey service where their delivery guys will come over and make sure everything will fit thru doors and up the stairs etc free of charge which I found quite reassuring. I've had interesting moving adventures and who could forgot that episode of Friends?!? (Pivot! Pivot!! ) All in all, it went okay. Will update further if I actually order a new couch from them!

This place is awesome. I think it might actually LITERALLY have everything!…read more It is basically a huge warehouse full of everything and broken up into sections; Christmas, storage, crafts, bedding, kitchen, sofas, etc. It is fairly cheap and cheerful so I would go there expecting to find something that will last you for years but if you're moving house or need a few bits and bobs then this is definitely somewhere you should consider for your first port of call. They even sell fake stuffed reindeer heads and cuddle chairs!

Sweet holy moly of reasonably priced furniture heaven! I jadour this place big time. Furniture,…read morehousehold accessories, art and craft gear, art, garden and garden furniture, pets, lighting oh my gosh I could go on and on and on. They also have a half decent cafe at the back of the place. This isn't John Lewis granted but there are good quality products for your home at a good price. Who can argue!?! That's right no you can't! For all those crafty guys out there I really like the huge selection they dedicate to art and crafts. The paint and wallpaper section isn't amazing but it depends on what you're looking for. I'm here all the time so holla at me if you see a stressed out woman wheeling two kids about in a trolley ;)

Oh my word, I've found it!…read more This is it. This place is where I want everything in my dream home to come from. The Chanlon showroom is filled with lovely, hand-crafted examples of 18th and 19th Century style furniture, which have been made to look distressed and aged as if they have been in grand country homes for years. The influence is mainly English but you can see that Scandinavian and French styles come through in lots of the pieces in-store. Kitchens come in lots of customised styles and collections, including designs for smaller spaces and hand-crafted Oak fittings, ranging from £20,000 upwards. Expensive. Very. Chanlon also sell furniture for the bedroom, bathroom and study areas of your house, such as the beautiful four poster bed, at almost £6,250. This would be the ultimate in luxury! The pieces are beautiful but this beauty comes at a price, and a hefty one at that. I can dream though!

This B&Q is massive and is well located around several other DIY type stores. They have a good…read moregarden section and can have some good deals. BUT - one chain home DIY store is just like any other chain DIY stores, the only thing that really differs between them is how they are laid out and the staff. The Man and I come by here occasionally to pick up housey bits and bobs and were in the other weekend looking for something to repair our (brand new) waterproof laminate in the bathroom (the plumbers scratched it while installing the million-ton cast iron bath). We looked around and didn't really see anything which seemed to do the job, so the first place we asked was the paint counter. We thought - fillers go with paints, so the guy here might know. We walked up "excuse me?" *no response* "um, excuse me??" *slow eye roll in our direction* The guy hardly moved a muscle and provided us with his most bored and put-upon voice to tell us to try the flooring section. Ok right well yeah that makes sense, could have been a bit more pleasant about it but that's fine. So, we head to the flooring section where we approach two employees having a conversation. We are clearly customers in need of help but they only stoped their chat and turned their attention to us when when we practically had to stand between them and interrupt them. The Man said "Hi, we recently purchsed waterproof laminate and..." "There's no such thing as waterproof laminate" the flooring guy said. "Well, actually there is" The Man said "it's called Dumafloor..." He was interrupted again by the flooring guy who said "No, laminate can't be waterproof, it gets wet and it expands, it's not waterproof" Um anyway... He didn't even let us finish our question before attacking our "waterproof laminate" - listen guy, maybe you're right but also maybe there is a product on the market you *gasp* don't know about! Either way, don't interrupt your customers when they're asking you a question. He finally told us where to find flooring crayons, and sent us off with a cheery "but anyway, there's no such thing as waterproof laminate" Note to B&Q -a little customer service training would go a long way. Further note - and no, I don't want my wedding registry here. In fact, it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
