A very nice branch of this popular homewares chain. Spread over two floors, there's a good…read moreselection of bedding, soft furnishings, curtains and blinds, lighting, kitchen and bathroom items (inc. good value towels) and cleaning equipment and materials. This branch has a first floor cafe - there's a lift and also toilets (kept really clean). They do a simple cream tea for £3.50 with a scone, clotted cream and jam, with tea or coffee. It's not the Ritz, of course, but nice for a low-cost break if you are shopping in the area. They also have a selection of cakes and sandwiches. There's a good sized car park, from which it is also a short walk to a number of other retailers, like Screwfix, Wickes, and ToolStation.

The garden centre area is also large, but it tends to have lots of familiar and popular favourites, so if you want anything specific or out of the ordinary, you'd be better off going to a specialist nursery. It is possible to park here and walk to the main shopping area nearby, which includes the Asda and Sainsbury's, as well as the furniture and other stores in the Princesmead retail park.

A very large and accessable B&Q in Farnborough, supported by an equally large customer car park…read more The place is located next door to ASDA and can be a real pain to get in and out of on busy weekends, so better to leave the DIY shopping to late evenings or early mornings. This store has everything the budding DIYer or gardener needs at quite reasonable prices for a large DIY chain. I tend to find smaller items like tapes, screws, nuts & bolts etc are not cheap here and can be found for a much more reasonable price at stores like Wilkinsons. However, for your larger items it is hard to beat with a very good returns policy if anything goes wrong with your purchased items. The garden section can be excellent or very dissapointing, depending on which day of the week you go or what the weather is like when you get there. The place is typical of many large DIY type stores that try and take on the garden centres, i.e. there is plenty of choice (usually slightly cheaper), but the plants are not looked after, and many of them are dead or almost dead when you pick them up. I suppose you have to get in there early in the morning before the sun has a chance to dry them all out. Their garden equipment is quite expensive, however they do do an excellent line in composts, mulch etc which is the cheapest around. They have a whole section of self-service tills in the store that need a cohort of staff to keep them working (they would be better off binning these tills and putting the staff on the normal tills). I steer well clear of these tills and usually go through the normal payment process much quicker than the poor old individual who spends their Sunday afternoon waiting for a member of staff to reset their self-service till !!!! They also have a very good selection of free "How To" guides to help you get the most out of your DIY project. On Sunday Craig from Big Brother was outside the store trying to sell garden products to passers by, but I don't suppose we can hold that against B&Q too much!!!

They said it is the mechanisms and sofa bed do make noise so they cannot do anything. Wow! I don't agree at all as i purchased sofa bed from furniture village and lasted more than 8 years and was still in good condition and no noise at all. Having new home bought new sofa but i regret buying from DFS. I will never buy from here as the reason they gave me was not satisfactory. Also, not recommended to buy sofa bed from here.
