They are the extroverts of furniture. Nothing quiet and meekish here. The huge beds in particular gave off a Bollywood or Hollywood flavour. I was looking at the dining suites out of personal interest and they did have a large selection, I admired, but that was all, bank balance doesn't quite allow for shopping here at the moment, another day. The website link on their business card doesn't actually include their location details in Henderson for some reason, but I can assure everyone reading this that it does exist, I was in there personally! (February 2013 to be exact!). On the website they mention two other store locations, New Lynn and lucky for those around Manakau, a Super Store even, corner of Cavendish Drive and Lambie Drive. I recommend at least having a browse in one of the stores when shopping for large furniture that will offer that extra touch of style.

This cafe was one of our first dining experiences on the NZ portion of our honeymoon, and it…read moredefinitely started us out the right way. What is the deal with NZ cafes in comparison to the US? They literally destroy us in every single aspect of dining variables. Decorated adorably? All of them. Don't stare at me uncomprehendingly when I say gluten? Def nots. Rock it on killer five star restaurant food presentation? Start expecting it. Actually care about the origin of the ingredients? Mind blown. The Old Woodshop Corner Cafe was a perfect example of what we came to love about NZ eats. The inside is intriguing with bright colors, funky signs and pictures, and if you haven't checked out that bedazzled cat sculpture in my photos, you're missing out. Upon ordering I was expecting to do my usual song n dance about gluten like I have to in the states; instead, they responded with Celiac? Great, we'll prep your food allergen free. My jaw was on the floor guys. Stunned and excited in anticipation of my future noms I did the only rational thing and picked a seat to wait for our meal- the seat nearest the bedazzled cat sculpture mind you. Food came out in good time and was delicious. The husband's was plated like a work of art and I risked my life postponing him diving in so I could snap a picture for you all. You're welcome. Between the epically chill vibes this place gives off, the excellent eats, gf knowledge and competitive prices.. and the cat sculpture.. I'd say this is winner.

There are some secondhand clothes hanging up in the store kind of as an afterthought, but I couldn't see any prices on them. The whole time I was there I was being watched very closely by one of the people working there, which made me uncomfortable. Can't say I'm in a hurry to go back to this one.

The bright colours and textures of items spilling out around their small entrance is what drew me in for the first time. I have shopped there several times, and although I love their stuff I do have to mention that the service has not always been so great; staff are often too busy socializing, or have little knowledge of their own stock; once I left my phone number, wanting the price on a particular item that they couldn't quite get at, physically, and they never phoned me back.

The staff were friendly but left me to my own devices, which I preferred as I wanted to just browse and ponder. I did end up walking out empty handed as the prices were out of my limit right at the moment, but I would consider this place for unique pieces such as the mirrors, I really liked the mirrors... Easy to find, on the corner of the busy intersection of New North Road and Blockhouse Bay Road, I recommend parking down the small dead end street that it is also situated next too, or St Jude's Street.

My wife and I needed a new bed last year and spent the whole of Saturday visiting bed stores in…read moreWest Auckland looking for a bargain. We had in our mind's eye, the threshold figure of $1000 and didn't want to spend much more than that. The woman in this place was very friendly and talked us through some of the options. After bouncing on bed after bed, we found one that was super comfortable but was a bit over budget. We negotiated with the woman and got a pretty good deal. The headstand was $200 extra and we convinced ourselves that we didn't need one. A few weeks later we realised we did need it so we went back to the shop and bought it. A year down the line, the bed is still as comfortable as ever. Like I've said we went to quite a few shops but this seemed have the best deals.

I often think to…read moremyself that something should be done about my mess of a floor that I have affectionately entitled 'the floordrobe', so I took matters into my own hand and popped into this store the other day. While I thought that they only sold cheap plastic storage options, I was actually impressed by the range of things on offer. Everything from rolling storage devices, to shoe racks, pretty patterned boxes etc. They even stock a range of furniture; bookshelves and I even found a cute little side table here. While I eventually decided on the cheap option of a large plastic box type thing that I could put clothes into and then stash away in the actual wardrobe, I was initially sidetracked by these pretty laundry hampers, until I looked at the prices and saw that they were $89.00, which was just ridiculously expensive. A lot of the things in here were a lot pricier than I thought they would have been for what they actually are, just things to store other things in.
