Located just off Kings Heath High St, the Mind shop is a treasure trove of furniture (not so much on bric a brac). Staff, most of whom are volunteers, have always been polite and chatty whenever I've visited. They have a vast array of furniture from wardrobes to beds and sofas - and there are also electrical items, so if you're looking to kit out a home on a budget it's really worth a look. Prices are really reasonable and they can deliver quickly (two days when I asked) for a small fee.
I was in the market for a wardrobe and went in on the Sunday, where the member of staff helped shift things around so I could get a better look. When I spotted a wardrobe I liked I purchased it ready to collect the next day (we had a van booked otherwise I'd have paid the delivery fee). Other stores had left us to move other furniture ourselves, but the members of staff helped get it out of the shop and onto the van - without any hassle.
And what's more, it's all for a good cause! read more
