Legit, locally-owned hardware store with knowledgeable staff. The cashier was really young, but he…read moreknew what he was doing. I picked up some gardening stuff: plants and potting soil. Turned out to be a few bucks cheaper than what you'd pay at Bunnings. Quick access from the city along North Terrace. Takes about 10min by car. Booyakasha! Will be back.

I know for a lot of people, Bunnings is synonymous with hardware. In the same way that people who…read moreshop at woolworths and think that they are getting the best price possible just won't visit a foodland, a lot of Bunnings customers are loyal to the point of self-punishment. I on the other hand, would prefer to spend my money at somewhere like Banner Mitre 10. The first reason is that like Woolies, Coles and Dan Murphy's, Bunnings are owned by one of those dominating behemoths (in this case Wesfarmers) which squeeze their supply chain, their staff and everyone else involved in the process. Like Woolies and Coles, what you end up with is not the best products, but rather products with high margins that can be bought in bulk, and if they break it just goes in the bin and you get a new one, and a new one, and another new one. Don't get me wrong... Bunnings has its place. It's a good place to go for say Stanley tools, Hills products etc, but if you want a good chainsaw, like the Stihl I bought on the weekend, there's no way you going to get it at Bunnings. What you're going to get is a piece of crap Ozito or something for $100 less which you can only cut 2x4 pine with before it craps itself. Now, onto my Banner Mitre 10 review... I used to work for these guys about 9 years ago while at uni and they are a great family run business. They treated us well as staff and had great discounts for staff and end of year parties. I felt like I was part of the family. After a few years living too far from the store, I've moved back fairly close to the area, so I popped in to look at ladders. They have a great selection of Bailey ladders and don't stock the cheap crap that Bunnings do. They also price matched a quite ridiculously low price I had for the chainsaw from one of my work's suppliers, so I'll definitely be back. They have a great trade section and friendly staff. What I'm trying to get at here is that there are other options apart from Bunnings for hardware/tools and home improvement products. Give these guys a go because they know their stuff, have better brands and service and are family run.

I am a regular customer of Bunnings Stores including Kent Town as I run my own business managing…read moreproperties and we frequently purchase paint, cleaning products, building materials etc... for our business activities, however, after today and Kent Town new parking policies, I will not continue to support a company that charges their clients for parking. There may be plenty of parking now at Bunnings in Kent Town, but it will be in interesting to see in the near future how they go with their sales.

I don't really know why, but I am such a sucker for any store that sells furniture, tupperware, and…read moreplants all in one place. Kent Town is where my local Bunnings is at, and I used to get dragged here on many occasions by my Dad and boyfriend to buy paint, or bonding agents. Nowadays you wouldn't have to drag me here, I'd happily go because their range of stock is just enormous. They sell everything of every brand here. My personal favourite? The bathroom and kitchen section. Oh, and lighting and electrical. I bought halogen sensor security lights here for around $30. They also hold free weekly workshops and activities for both adults and kids, as well as face painting and community events. For all my ladies out there, it's time to get onto drills, window furnishings and acrylic render. Bunnings is the new black.

Half of this huge warehouse is a messy hardware store, its products stacked in plastic boxes along…read morerough shelves, and the other half is just a little bit of everything else. And I do mean everything. Personal hygiene, baby products, toys, craft, bags and ribbons, crockery, home décor, manchester, dog toys, mostly clumped in sections of similar products. The madness and busyness of this store is endearing, and their prices are all very cheap (though you're getting what you pay for - none of it is high quality). They also have many electrical products, headphones, chargers, and cords of all varieties. A whole family runs the store, parents and their son, and are very friendly and helpful when it comes to finding things. This is a very useful place to know about for all those random household things you don't know you need until they break, or until you see them in here for only $3. They also offer 10% discounts to builders and from Monday-Wednesday they give 10% to pensioners who purchase something over $10. An all-round good local bargain hardware store.

Excellent little store with a couple very experienced and knowledgeable chaps running it. Been…read morethere for decades and somehow survives in a marketplace of giants. Good service! But don't bother looking for what you want just ask, as it is really small, crowded and with little apparent order, but the guys know exactly what they have and where it is. Prices are also quite competitive. A good alternative to the big impersonal shops like Bunnings and Mitre 10. Long Live Hines Hardware

Not overpriced, super sized and wogtastic. From plaster archways to gold lamps, iron outdoor gates through to claw foot bath tubs you can find some McMansion suitable furnishings here for more than you'd buy them in a De Lights or Bunnings. And then of course this gigantic "salvage yard" houses their most prized possessions - the 8 life size Elvis', robotic dinosaur collections and Blues Brothers car hanging from the roof. Hang on...what? I honestly don't know how many financial transactions this place actually achieves but I would suspect the foot traffic of gawkers would outweigh sales 20 to 1. Unless of course you too have a spare $600-2000 to spend adding that finishing touch of a moving T-Rex into your lounge room with its 10m high ceiling, archway and marble floors. But who doesn't I guess?
