Located within the Palace Grounds Retail Park Reids is very nicely laid out though there isn't a…read moregreat deal of space to get between the displays for wheelchair users. Most suites are leather in line with recent demand, though there are some material suites which are tastefully designed. There are various bits and pieces of furniture which are set out also in display such as dining furniture, living room furniture etc but at the back of the store is a section where there are various great quality beds. Staff here are attentive and friendly, they will also do their best to provide as much information on whatever products the customer is interested in. At no point did I feel as though I was being pushed into buying something for the sake of a sale.

It certainly won't be that beautiful sofa that you fell in love with in the showroom, it will probably be a very BAD, CHEAPLY made version of that item......, if you then decide that you are not very happy with your very bad, cheaply made sofa., I do wish you well when you find yourself dealing with the ARROGANT, BULLYING, AGGRESIVE, THUGS, at R&J Leather who will refuse point blank to either help or refund you... thier "7 day return and refund guarantee"  Does Not Exist...... I would understand completely if R&J LEATHER were now on a RANCH selling SADDLES., so Please, do yourself a big favour and stay well away from this company. You dont have to pay a fortune for a bad, cheaply made sofa....., there are plenty of WELL RUN COMPANIES out there who will gladly sell one to you at a reasonable price.

Sorry Bo-Concept - but I really was not impressed…read more Yes, you have a lot of attractive furniture. Yes, some of your smaller homeware pieces aren't too overpriced (especially in the sale). But that's where my positives stop. First up, for a so-called upmarket furniture store, I thought this place was actually really grubby. A bit of floor mopping wouldn't have gone amiss, and you'd have been wise to have removed the used coffee cups from your £400 dining tables. Secondly, your staff were not welcoming. We were given some really dirty looks by a certain member of your staff, and that was even before I'd (quite loudly) complained about the aforementioned coffee cups. And thirdly - a piece of your pretentious £350 "artwork" (you know the type, where someone has typed out a lot of cliched so-called life advice on a canvas in different fonts) had a pretty serious spelling mistake in it. And don't try telling me that was intentional. Next time I want to spend a large chunk of my hard earned cash on some furniture - I won't be doing it here.

Ah, The Bo Concept. I've always gazed in those hallowed windows wishing for the day to come where I…read morecould spent 50 quid on a trendy cushion. Went in for the first time today because after reading those last wonderful reviews, I was overcome with morbid curiosity! Poe-faced Concept doesn't fail to disappoint on the arrogance front - although I wasn't given the cold, hard stare I expected from staff, I was largely ignored by them, which suited me fine since I could act like a fly on the wall and be left in peace. I obviously look poor - that's fine guys, it's entirely true! But you can't condemn a girl for dreaming! Since I've been subtly branded a poor working class girl, my cankered fingers had to surrepticiously reach for the price tag...I had to stop my jaw from dropping when I saw it was 150 quid for an EX DISPLAY lamp. Yes, that's right - Ex Display. Bugger off. Even if there ever comes a day when i have money to burn frivolously on items such as these, I doubt I would ever bother. Sure, they looked pretty but seriously, get real. If you were loaded, some trendy items in here may appeal - some of the stock is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, this place lacks the innovation and laid back vibe of Habitat, nor does it possess the charm and imaginative quirk of its West End rivals. It announces new arrivals in the window like we should roll out the red carpet for their overpriced (but, got to admit, nice) sofas - there's just something a bit off about this place. By all means go for a browse as they have some lovely stock but interior design competition has sprung up all over the place. So although Bo Concept may have been top dog a few years back, it's going to have to change its stand offish aura before it can attract a wider audience. And as Eleanor said, the richest people are quite often the least likely to flaunt it, so never judge a book by its deceptively dog-eared cover. You'll lose business if you do.

This used to be Kirkwoods Clothing store, a really old fashioned place that sold cheap stuff made…read moreout of lycra with diamantes on, which I was often forced to wear to School Parties and such. However, its now changed its image to The Sewing Box, selling curtains, bedding and creative materials. It does exactly what it says on the, well, box. Curtains are made to measure, although they are usually likely to be of the netted variety, which my mum still sees as classic, and I see as hideous. I can't wait till I get my own place, solely for the purpose of a net curtain and Venetian blind free zone. Bliss. It's one of these places I have never really noticed existed before, and I suspect its the same for a lot of people. However, it survived the recession, which says a lot for the shop and its ownership.
