The rooms just keep going on and on, as you find your way through, then up, then down. There are so many appealing colours and materials, you'll want to touch everything so make sure you have a bit of time if it's your first visit to this retail fairyland. I pretty much use this place as a one stop shop whenever a woman in my life requires a gift. They have a phenomenal range of cushions (many are silk), scarves, blankets, dresses and tops (although clothing is not their 'thing'). Heaps of ottomans, leather bags, jewellery which is both silver and beady. The prices are sooo reasonable and they often have amazing specials so I highly recommend you check it out for yourself because I really can't do the place justice. ALSO - make sure you ask if they can do you a better deal because if the boss is there he loves to add discounts!

Great products until you have a faulty product & have to return it. Shocking service!…read more I recently bought a pack of 4 silk cushions (not on special) & undid the wrapping at home & discovered one dirty one & one with a massive flaw. I rang & told them & then returned the next day only to be met with a brick wall. No refund, no simple replacement of the same product, but would charge me (yes charge me) more money to replace the flawed cushion & would not reduce the price of the dirty cushion. Worse still, the owner would not even come out of her office to deal with a customer issue. I was told she was too busy!! I definately won't be back. My suggestion - go somewhere else or buy interstate online.

Your one stop shopping for home bedding, sheets, curtains, towels, table cloths, this shop will bring out the hidden Martha Stewart in you. The shop is absolutely inviting and some of the bed props mirrors those from a magazine page. The colours, fabrics and textures will get you in an instant makeover mode. Some of the products may seem a little pricey, compared to the likes of Big W or Kmart, but then again with premium names like Morgan & Finch, one can expect quality and good finishing. There are plenty of props to decorate the kids room, like a truck bookend, butterfly pillowcases and stunning hand towels for the guest bathroom. If you're not buying, this place is great for window shopping and some home styling inspiration.

Confession time! My house is full of things from Bed Bath N' Table…read more They are my first stop for sheet shopping but they offer so much more when it comes to home decorating. From the smallest of picture frames and ornaments, to mirrors and pictures for your walls, the Unley store (the one I frequent the most) is always full to brimming with a range of items you'd expect to see and even some you wouldn't. These days they sell PJ's and slippers, beach towels, candles, coffee cups and a range of pretty things you don't always find in other stores. There are two times of the year that I especially like to visit ... and that doesn't mean just two visits - its actually more like 10 visits at those 2 times (Confused? Don't worry so is my credit card provider!) Ok, here's my point ... twice a year they sell the best Christmas decorations and Easter trinkets you'll find anywhere. I am a complete junkie when it comes to buying these things so I go back time after time just to buy one more piece! In fact I will be heading there later today to purchase just one more red bauble for my tree. Here's a tip if you're in the market for sheets, towels or other assorted items - wait for their sales. They have great sales and you can always grab a bargain or two. I rarely pay full price these days as I know things will usually be discounted at some stage and I'll just get cross that I paid full price.

I'm a bit of a linen freak and I LOVE nice sheets and towels. Only problem is it's a bit of an…read moreexpensive habit to support so imagine my delight when I discovered the Sheridan Factory Outlet on Glen Osmond Road at Eastwood. Many of the items on offer in the factory outlet are way cheaper than prices you would pay in department stores. Stock includes towels, sheets, quilts and quilt covers, pillows and pillow cases, blankets and mattress protectors. We all spend so much money on mattresses and bedding these days it seems a crime not to decorate those items with equally luxurious coverings. And when it comes to your bathroom, is it ever possible to have enough towels? Look in my linen press and the answer is clearly no. A lot of stock in the Sheridan Factory outlet is discontinued stock or items that are out of season. They also have a selection of production samples that are just that little bit different from what's on offer in the other retail outlets. Glen Osmond Road used to be the mecca for factory outlet shops before the advent of Harbour Town near the airport but these days everyone has moved and the Sheridan Factory Outlet is actually one of the few discount shops that remains there. The Eastwood shop is a smallish shop but well worth a visit if you're looking for a bargain.

Sheridan is one of the best brands of bedding available and is a 100% Australian owned manufacturer, which is great to know as they are few and far between. If someone gave me a second rate item and a first grade product, quite frankly I couldn't tell the difference, except the price is a dead giveaway. I'll buy a Sheridan second any day over first grade at double the price and still get years of wear out of set of bed sheets. Besides bed sheets, there are towels, throws, accessories, robes, underlays and more at excellent prices. When purchasing a gift, you should consider visiting a Sheridan factory outlet...they'll never know! The factory seconds outlet at Glen Osmond Road also has a shop in the Harbortown complex at the airport and both stores have great displays, are well stocked and have friendly staff.

I was pleased to discover another of these stores, much closer to home for me than Tea Tree Plaza!…read more This one is a bit smaller than the TTP shop, which is a favourite of mine, however they sell almost the same stuff. I think this shop has a few less options for sheets, which doesn't bother me, because the other store has an overwhelming amount. It sells the same great doonas at amazing prices - $70 for a heavy wool queen sized doona, as well as a lot of traditional coverlets, which also act as great blankets in summer, and don't have removable covers. This does mean they're more bulky when you try to wash them, but it's useful to have an all in one cover. This is a great place for towels, and has some lovely hand towel sets that would make great gifts. There are also a lot of marked-down decorative cushion covers at the moment. The standard prices are fantastic, and if it's anything like its TTP counterpart, there will always be specials on as well.

After hunting for so long for a new doona cover, I popped in here to see if they had what I was…read morelooking for. I was immediately drawn in by the cheap prices with a rack of $15.99 quilt cover sets in various sizes sitting out the front. These prices were mirrored throughout the store, and as far as I could tell there was nothing over $100.00. As well as quilt sets they sell a big range of sheets and pillowcases, towels, cushions and under lays. The staff were not attentive at all, chatting amongst themselves the whole time without paying any attention to me as a customer. The store is also very crowded and messy with open boxes of stock everywhere which makes it really hard to get around.

I might also add that the "review" by "Ben" doesn't ring at all true. This is a great business, and I would be gobsmacked if there were a better luggage repair option anywhere.

I think this is the end of the road in my search in finding a mattress, in more ways than one, if…read morewe were travelling via Taxi it would've been a huge fare! It was an epic distance to travel for us but after doing my research online for a latex mattress this seemed like a good place to visit....Pooraka here we come! Town and Country make and sell either 100% pure Dunlop Australian and New Zealand Latex or a combination of Latex and Viscoflex Memory Foam top mattresses. They also have a range of flexible slat base beds to suit. Available in various sizes and can also customise the mattress to suit needs. Slat beds only as they are the best for latex to breathe. And they suggested flexi slats because you can increase or decrease the firmness of the mattress by adjusting the plastic tension system on the slats. Yes this sounds like a good place to go. We were the only customers in the store and we had the salesman's absolute attention. He was really quite good as he discussed with us the benefits of memory foam and pure latex and advised not all latex was created equal. An interesting point he mentioned was the fact that when the latex mattress layers are bound together as two separate layers stuck together, you don't get as hot as because the two negate each other when you're sleeping on it. Short of buying one, I don't know if I can believe this as it's contrary to what every other bedding place says, but then again none of the others' sold pure latex mattress, there's other 'ingredients' in the mix of the layer composition. Grrr. We found the prices to be on par with another bedding place we visited, so it was no great saving but on the other hand Town and Country deal with Dunlop an Australian Latex registered as Latex Gold, compared to the imported Latex from Thailand alot of the other stores deal with. We could also have a bottom layer of firm latex and the top layer as memory foam, whereas at the other stores we have to select from their named range only...and it's much more expensive, in fact double at some places. And again it's really tricky as each store has their own range manufactured to their specifications, so there is no way to compare apples to apples!! To be sure we went back to Forty Winks Mile End, as it was my first port of call on my bed adventure and wanted to compare the memory foam Tempur mattress, which was the one I got steered towards in the first place, but it's mega expensive - despite the current sale. My hubby doesn't like latex or memory foam as it was for my benefit he persisted in coming and he loves me (awww) so the option is clear...two separate mattresses on the one base which will give us a King size bed, or two long singles on individual bases, which equates to a King size - plus we can push them apart when we have a tiff, he, he,he!! So in short, what we've learnt from this experience and to suit our needs, it's the above option. Sure it would be cheaper to buy the one mattress as a whole, but it won't meet individual needs, so it's the next best thing despite costing more (but not a great deal), for a bed that should last over 10 - 15 years...a small price to pay for spending half your lifetime in bed, may aswell be comfortable.

Hi, For anyone…read morelooking at purchasing a natural latex mattress, all I can say is 'buyer beware' Unless you like the smell of latex these mattresses never give up gassing off the horrible odour of chemical rubber, even worst when it's hot. (smell a latex glove, then times it by a million and try to sleep on it) I have a $2400 100% natural latex mattress that occupies our spare room and we cannot get a refund for it even though it is still brand new, because the only fault with it is that it smells like latex. Yep, that's what we bought !! It's been 18 months now and it still stinks really bad. Very sad, and a waste of money. If I can warn others of this major fault and stop them from going down the latex jargon path like I did my job is done. Buyer Beware

The store on Prospect Rd is ENORMOUS and has some really, really great pieces. I stopped in there to have a squiz at the possibilities of some new furniture for when I move into a new house in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, almost everything in the store was out of my student budget but I couldn't help but admire the furniture. There was almost everything you could find a use for in a home, from drawers, bedside tables and a great range of dining room tables. If you have a really huge family this would be a great place to look as I saw a couple of 10-12 seater tables. Not on the cheap side mind you, but polished beautifully with reupholstered chairs. As soon as I stepped in the store a bell went off which alerted a small old lady who came and asked me if I needed any help. When I said no, she gestured down the stairs where there was a lot more furniture to see. I think this would also be the sort of place that had rotating stock so you might need to check up on it every month or so.

McGlashan is a family business and have been dealing in furniture for the past 55 years, a true passion seen in their desire to stock and restore quality made furniture. The shop is huge with their repair warehouse section out the back and also being a receiving and delivery point. To give you an idea of the brands they enjoy dealing with are Noblett, Parker, Chiswell, Sellicks and I'd say Eames has passed through their hands to be sure. Just imagine the grand homes of Prospect, Unley, North Adelaide and the like, all will have some marvelous pieces and if not passed down in the family, may eventually make their way here and live on in someone else's home. Cedarwood, Mahogany, Oak, Blackwood, Maple and even Huon Pine are just some of the types of wood the furniture is made of and manufactured with traditional methods, a rarity nowadays and completely out of reach for the average wage earner. Prices can vary from affordable to sugar daddy no holds barred, so if you're in the market for furniture especially for an older home, this is a good place to visit. Plus delivery costs are reasonable.
