They have beautiful saucepans, rolling pins, baking pans and gadgets I have never heard of but I am sure are really useful. It is truly an Aladdin's cave.

Pots Avenue has a variety of products from shoe racks to shiny new saucepans but at really crazy…read moreprices. I don't know how they do it but everything is reasonable quality but super cheap. It's a sort of quality discount store in Castle Towers. The really good thing is that most of the things aren't available in variety stores like K Mart and Target but are sold at a similar price point. Be warned however, the shop so full of everything that you have to be careful not to bump into things, it's a place where you would leave the children outside. I always seem to go in for one thing and come out with six others.

I think the staff may have something to do with that as they are very helpful and know what they have in stock down to the last button. You can find practically anything you want in here, they have slightly better stock than most of these bargain basement type shops. ant to buy birthday or Christmas cards, maybe a Halloween or Christmas dressing up set for a child. baskets, little figurines or maybe it's a canvas for painting on.

Full of all sorts of white wrought iron furniture that would sit well in a garden or perhaps a hallway, they have plenty of similarly bland bits and pieces.

They actually have nice things but as the only shop of this type in this small shopping centre I think they have increased their stock as people ask for something.

As one of those 'wogs', I wondered who would buy such furniture - beds with headboards painted scenes of people sailing and dining suites that were so ornate. Someone must have bought them as they didn't go broke. Thank goodness today they have simpler, more modern furniture.
