This is my local go to hardware store.

Levines is a furniture store manned almost entirely by a team of smiling chaps in neatly pressed…read morewhite shirts who are happy to swap advice on the beds, armchairs and cupboards sold here. As well as selling simple, discount furniture at cheap prices it stocks a wide range of beds - including orthopaedic ones - which frankly is a godsend if you have a jippy shoulder (like me). Despite being relatively young for such things their range of reclining chairs is pretty awe inspiring and they are happy to deliver at a time that is convenient. They are also great at providing brilliant customer service - when I got a bit confused by a recent purchase (a headboard for the afore mentioned orthopaedic bed, which just wouldn't sit right) they were really kind and patient - even when it turned out I was trying to fit it upside down. A really lovely shop.

We ordered a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and headboard from Levine's…read more We were initially told we'd have to wait a couple of weeks for the headboard which we said was fine. The first delivery only included the bed (the drawers and wardrobe had been left behind). We rearranged for the drawers and wardrobe and waited in throughout the delivery slot assigned but nobody ever showed up and nobody ever communicated this to us. We were then told that the 2 week wait on the headboard would be another month. In the end, it took the best part of 4 months for the headboard to be delivered. No discount was ever offered by management despite this terrible service. I would seriously discourage anybody using Levine's in future. I would however say that the furniture is decent quality (when it eventually arrives).

I must admit that until I moved over West Bromwich way, I'd never heard of Betel. Having swung by…read morethis shop a few times, I was very interested to learn that it deals mostly in furniture restored by people taken in by the Betel charity and taught, among other things, how to restore furniture. The amount of stuff in the shop on West Bromwich High Street is staggering. There are tables, bookcases, chairs, stools, footrests, wardrobes, chests of drawers, the lot. The prices of a lot of the stuff are quite high - we're talking £150 for a restored bookcase. Generally this is because it's proper old-school hand-carved stuff and not horrific 1970s cast-offs which line their aisles. Most of it's not particularly my taste (or in my price range) but the quality is fantastic and probably far better than you'd find in a lot of antique shops.

If you have recently purchased a new home, Habitat is the place to browse and buy. They sell loads…read moreof homeware stuff including beds, blinds, bedding, furniture and other nic nacs like photo frames and art work. All this stuff if located upstairs in the store which is very near to Centenary Square. Downstairs is a mixture of lighting, kitchen ware and funky wallpapers. Habitat stuff is extremely well made and they often collaborate with designers on their wallpaper designs and other bits and pieces. The prices vary, so really they have something for everyone. Even if you don't own your own home I would recommend popping by incase you want to jazz up your bedroom with a new vase, candles or picture.

This is a standard DIY store, which I have only visited once, just because it is quite out of my…read morelocal area. It is fairly basic inside, it is not fancy, but it stocks all the DIY bits and bobs that you would expect. It looks a bit shabby from the outside, but do not let that put you off as the prices here are reasonable and probably less than you would pay at a huge chain store. I would much prefer to come somewhere like this than to a chain store. The staff are pleasant in here and were quite helpful when I popped in. They gave me lots of advice about paintbrushes and painting to be precise, which was actually really useful. It is a good little store and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.
