The appliances cost more here than in any other electric retailer but the staff are really wonderful, very friendly and helpful but don't expect technical know how. They also do meter paid electric keys. read more

All in all worth a journey to Perth go shopping, go hill walking, buy curtains, impress your friends!

About half a second in, something small and round rolled across the floor, coming to an abrupt halt at the skirting board. "Hahaha" thinks me, "What is that?" Oh wait, it's the feckin wheel. One wheeled Dysons don't do the job. Off we toddle down to W. Crum & Sons to buy a new hoover. It's at the end of a fairly scary-looking row of shops at the eastern edge of Strathclyde uni's campus. In the windows prices are trumpeted in neon starbursts. It's a friendly wee shop, selling washing machines, cookers, hoovers, dishwashers and other such very boring but very necessary stuff. It specialises in repairs though, and it seems that is their main line of business. It is perhaps not as cheap as the likes of Argos, but I would rather spend an extra few quid if it's somewhere local. Especially when it's the letting agents' money and not mine.

I ventured in here when I was on the hunt for a washing machine for my new flat, as I realised how unpractical it would be to continue carting my washing around to my mum's forevermore, unfortunately. I was welcomed in by the owner who was friendly and knowledgeable about all of the electrical appliances and helped me pick out a nice white washing machine that was within my budget. It was delivered to my door the very next day, complete with a year's warranty. A great little locally owned business that prides itself on customer service and quality.

Bog-standard Homebase store - staff are relatively pleasant, though would do well to take ownership…read moreof a query rather than spend 15 minutes waiting for someone else to rescue them. Offers some decent ex-display deals - though make sure you check out other stores in the chain before settling as management have authorisation to discount to varying levels! Some good homewares in the section to the left of the entrance - typical Argos/Homebase fare. Also - compare with the sister company (Argos) to ensure you're not being charged more for the same products!

There is also a range of outdoor clothing and equipment on the first floor. To be honest there is not a lot I go into Frank Thomsons for that I don't find. In fact I quite often find a lot more. The staff are very friendly and are very knowledgeable about the vast range of products they stock.

It offers a full range of kitchen and household products over two floors in addition they carry a range of craft products mainly focusing on card making. The products themselves are well made and the range is extensive, who knew there were quite so many things one needed for the kitchen. Joking apart I have bought quite a few very useful products here and actually like some of their biscuits and sweets to give as gifts. The prices are reasonable for what you are getting. You could probably get the items cheaper elsewhere but not with the same quality.

They have a great home department at the back of the store. great bargains can be had here with a lot of items at knock down prices - i purchased a very good quality duvet which was priced by the manufacturer on the packaging at £50. this price i paid was only £25 so well worht the trip. they also have mens, ladies and childrens clothing sections with a huge choice in each section. i would best describe matalan as somewhere that you need to visit and spend time loooking for the bargains as they also sell a lot of items that are not that well made or worht their price. Definetly bargains to be had but you do need to be prepared to spend time looking for them

The market has many, many different shops/stalls ranging from shoe repair shops, stalls that sell floors and many little places that sell home ware and hard ware goods! Yes, this place has it all, and is moulded and sold to the public under the impression of an old market (all be it one in a multi storey building!). Over the years I have always seen the market full of people buzzing about trying to find a bargain. It's good for what it is, but it really is a relic of an old age. How this place survives with the number of supermarkets and large DIY stores in the area astounds me!

As well as all that there is a very good cafe situated right in the centre of the market which as well as offering great food also now has internet access for you to use too. A must if you are shopping in Kirkcaldy but still not as good as it once was!
