They weren't having much luck and decided to try out a little shop in Rainworth called The Brass Shop Magins. These guys have got brass fittings, taps, door knobs, bits and bobs, gadgets and gizmos a plenty, whosits and whatsits galore... Their prices are cheaper than others around. You could go to Bunnings and get generic fittings for a reasonable price, or you could go to the Brass Shop Magins, find something unique and inexpensive, while enlist ing the help of the owners, David and Ann- Marie. These guys are the go to people regarding the more ornamental details of renovation work.

Officially now known as part of Bardon (just don't say that too loud) Rainworth can be dismissed as just a roundabout on the way to the freeway. However, Brass Shop Magins is a great example of why you shouldn't dismiss places out of hand. We're all getting distressingly used to bland super stores that all stock the same, slightly dissatisfying range. If you want a shopping experience like our parents used to get, you need to visit this shop. Well, you need to visit this shop if you're in the market for brass and hardware fixtures anyway.

It's been pretty wet lately in Brisbane and I've started to have awful memories for weeks of…read moreendless rain, mildewed towels and sheets that take days to dry. With this in mind I paid a visit to Brisbane Whitegoods Factory Outlet to scope around for a dryer. I'll only use it a few times a year, so I didn't really want to pay full price - and when you visit here you can see why you don't have to. A small scratch or ding leads to savings of over $150 on name brand applicances. Plus, they have a fridge at the front with cold soda and water and an honesty box system. Very nice touch in 30 degree heat.

The Brisbane Whitegoods Factory Outlet is a much needed addition to Brisbane's retail mix. Being…read morefrom Melbourne, I was spoiled with factory outlets and very much noticed the absence of them in and around Brisbane. When it came to purchasing a new Dishwasher, I was dreading paying full price, I always dread paying full price.. Anyway, so a quick Yelp search just happened to present me with the Outlet store in my local area. We ended up purchasing a Fisher Paykel, stainless steel model at nearly half the price. I am so pleased! While we were there, we had around the show room, they sell all your standard White goods plus stove/oven, all at factory second prices. It would be great if they were bigger and had more stock but I guess time will help that. You can really grab a bargain item there. The salesman don't try to bamboozle you into purchases you don't want or aren't ready for either, which is always greatly appreciated. I'm a big fan, I wish I needed more white goods so I could keep going back!

We told JD lighting that we were having home Automation…read morelightning and we were sold Martec downlighting. No mention of any issues it compatibility concerns. We were met with constant flickering and pulsing from day one, it took us months and months and many $$$ to find the issue. We tried Energex to see if it was an external issue, then we tried a different electrician who said our wiring was fine but to try Atom brand as Martec was a cheap light with a poor led driver. We fitted and tested an Atom light and it was great and fixed the issue. We contracted JD lighting to asks them to swap them over in the 3 year warranty, there customer service is very slow, but was told they work fine and wouldn't be considered warranty and should have considered a different brand and AV guys should have known that. If A light is dimmable then it should dim right? Apparently not, it has to be compatible as well so apparently you also have to make sure you double check with the "kid" that's selling you the lights that he knows what your on about and it's needs We went ahead and bought the Martec because they said they were dimmable. We have evidence on emails that JD lighting was told they were for home automation and now our only option that jD lighting can come up with is that we buy the Atom lights from them at trade price. We are now stuck with 70 Martec down lights. This is extremely disappointing to say they wouldn't do anything to help out Under the warranty. I wouldn't ever buy any Martec product again nor would I consider JD lighting again after this interaction We spent $5000 there so to me this very poor customer service from them and I could only hope nothing else goes wrong if this is the walk we hit to try and claim a problem.

This garden centre is heaven for newbie or season gardeners with plants for all occasions within. We were easily able to seek advice from the staff about the condition of our Fiddle Leaf Fig and purchase pots, fertiliser and all other contraptions to give it a new lease on life. They even had a Monstera (google Swiss Cheese Plant) which I've been hunting for quite some time. The prices are not too dissimilar to Bunnings but the quality appears to be higher and the service received was easily over and above what I've experienced at other garden centres. Til we meet again, Brookfield GC!
