What a house of wonder! Chase really isn't kidding when he says it sells everything, it really does…read moresell pretty much everything you might need for your home. From cleaning products, kitchen items, DIY bits and bobs, cheap snacks, cards and so much more - they've got it covered. If you're a keen shopper/browser it's a veritable treasure chest to explore. My particular favourite is the upstairs section. Here's where the items get slightly less bargainous and become a little higher end... They've beds, lamps and all other kinds of home furnishings in a range of styles. Faux-antique right through to the more modern sleek look. I bought an awesome 'telephone box' lamp for my room at home, which is so kitsch and delightful and only set me back £15. (I can imagine it costing a ton more in a vintage shop!) My Mum was particularly overjoyed with a red painted vase that she picked up as well, of which they had many different shades! So, there's plenty to get excited about, and not too pricey as well. However, all that glitters is not gold. I did come away having purchased a few oil reed scent dispensers (the pots of oils with the wooden reeds) and they simply don't work at all. They were only a pound each, but I can see why they were so cheap as they give off no scent at all! Even so, I'm pleased as punch with my lamp so that more than makes up for it!

I was first introduced to QLM by my new wife (I change them quite often, not really if you're…read morereading this love) just after we set up home together. It was the first time I'd been in a shop which I cannot categorize by what it sells, IT SELLS EVERYTHING !! From bleach to crisps, rugs to xbox games, they have almost everything under one roof. The only thing I can say lets it down is a lack of electrical goods like TV's but if you're looking for a pack of brass tacks and a birthday card for auntie Mabel this is a good place to start........ and if you're feeling tired you can nip upstairs and pretend you're testing a bed out :)

I'm guessing the first one is plain stupid (well stupid is as stupid does) so I got y sorry looking butt down to Red Brick Mill. What a pleasant find it is too. They pride themselves on some of the North's leading contemporary designers and their furniture is sheer class. They are home to 35 cutting-edge designers and there is enough inspiration to keep even my motor mouth quiet for an hour or so. If you want to jazz up your lounge, no problem. Slick and chic sofas sit along side funky tables. You'll even find plush flooring, cookware and gifts. It's quite pricey but sometimes money does buy taste and it shows here. Add to that four cafes to refresh those flagging shopping legs and it's worth a punt. A definite reason to venture into Batley and spruce up the house in your life.

However, on their website they call themselves 'DFS - The Furniture Centre'. I am guessing this is so that they show up on search engines when people search for DFS Furniture, fair play to them. But they are not *the* DFS, so don't be confused between the two. Despite this they still offer a really good range of furniture, at a much cheaper price than the original DFS. Coffe tables, console tables, occasional tables, TV and media Units, storage units and book cases, tub chairs and arm chairs, dining room furniture, kitchen and bar furniture, mirrors, bedroom furniture, sofas and sofa beds can all be seen in their 4 showrooms. They also offer free delivery on purchases of over £1000.

Junk Again is another fantastic furniture place that doesn't require you be to snobby and rich to…read morepurchase their goods. I like Habitat, don't get me wrong, but really, why bother when you can get good quality furniture for much less. Especially if you are a student! Which is perfect for this area. Flocks of students come and go through Leeds, moving every year and needing to get rid of or attain furniture every time they do. Junk Again are aware of this and have cleverly positioned themselves not far from the postcodes that are predominantly student populated. If you are looking for a cabinet, a table, or arm chair, or are looking to get rid of, a fridge, a freezer, or chimney pot, Junk Again is a great place to go. They are slightly chaotic but that just adds to that old fashioned feel of shops of this type. Plus no-one will look down their polished nose at you as they so often do in Habitat.

When my friends and I moved house last year we opted for a grand four bedroom house that was…read moreunfurnished as it wold cost us a little less. That, sadly, was not the case in the end but that's more to do with the Estate Agent and building than anything else. However, pretty much the only thing that we required for our move was a sofa and some arm chairs. Enter: Junk Again! My old housemate had spotted Junk Again on her way through Woodhouse and suggested that we tried here for a cheap second hand suite. I was game for any bargain and so when she called me, all a fluster, to tell me about this awesome sofa, two arm chairs and a pouffe for a mere £40, I came immediately to the scene. Yes. That's right. All that for forty flippin' pounds. The friendly chap explained that he had planned to have them cleaned but hadn't yet, so was willing to let them go for that much - all we needed to do was clean them. No probs, Handy Hire in Headingley solved that one for us dirt cheap too! We couldn't have been more chuffed. Inside you'll find an array of lovely old furniture and the odd antique, for seriously cheap prices. My advice is: if you're moving look here first. I've a few more things I need myself so I'm planning a re-visit very soon...

Either way, the smaller shop sells a wide range of sofas to suit different tastes and pockets, and a selection of smaller furniture such as coffee tables and small shelving units. The blokes running the shop seem friendly and eager to help. They have a variety of furniture catalogues to enable customers to order in any piece of furniture that isn't on display. They also have a limited range of beds, dining tables and wardrobes. As well as furniture they have plenty of carpet samples on display. Though if it's a carpet you're looking for you're probably better of missioning- it across the road as the other shop is VAST and sells carpets carpets carpets! They come in a huge variety of thicknesses, colours and patterns which should satisfy most tastes and budgets. Between the two shops Ideal Carpets and Furniture Centre seem to have the average person's living room requirements covered!

Barker and Stonehouse is a furniture store. Is that all? Nope of course not. To be rude would be to…read morecall it a mismatch of stuff all under one roof. Kinda like Toys'R'us, sorry no, that was wrong and unfair. My caffeine induced manic is taking over. There are many different genres of furniture to be found in this Barker and Stonehouse all of which are excellent in quality. If Habitat is Mark's and Spencer's Food, then Barker and Stonehouse is Sainsbury's, not quite as rich and expensive, but still excellent in quality and taste. There are the styles that suit the grander tastes, more antique French sort of styles, high back chairs, ornate framework and very detailed fabrics, sitting next to the more futuristic looks of leather and steel, clean lines, tubular framing, bold colours and prints, sleek and sharp lines, perspex, acrylic, stainless steel, velvet, leather, fabric, oak, copper plate. Sofas, chaise longues, arm chairs, book cases, coffee tables, dining room tables, bedroom furniture, lounge furniture, you name it and it's probably here. This particular store is fairly huge, there's plenty to walk around and poke at, sit on, open, close, test, wipe, swipe and have a nosey at. The staff aren't as pushy as you'd find in somewhere like DFS where the moment you plonk your derriere down on a sofa there's a smartly dressed sales bod at your feet, you're pretty much left to your own devices until you're ready to ask a person for help, which is great as you don't feel pressured to buy or bolt. Another good thing about Barker and Stonehoue is the end of season clearances, which are unique to each store, there are some mega savings to be had on particular items, with savings edging over the £1000 mark on sofas or speciality furniture.

I bought a number of things from B&S for my place, and one of them, a dining table, has caused some…read moreproblems. Barely a few months after I bought it, wood split along the middle of table, and the cracks were getting longer. For me this was a table that I intended to keep for at least several years, and I wanted to make sure something is done about the cracks early on. Dealing with their customer services, somewhere in Middlesborough, proved a nightmare. I always had to be the one chasing them because they were so unresponsive. After some six months from me initially contacting them I managed to get their technician in to assess the table. His verdict was that there definitely was a problem with the wood as it also split underneath the table, and he said in such cases, B&S would normally replace the table because these kind of cracks are irreparable, and will only get worse with time. The customer service people, who I had to chase again afterwords on his report said that there was nothing wrong at all with the table. They read out to me a passage from the form which I apparently signed, where it said that the wood, due to heat would shrink and explained which might cause splits and cracks. Fair enough, my fault, I must have signed something thinking the chance of this happening to my table was small. But why all the six months long saga, correspondence, photos, the assessment if it was already predetermined from the start by their terms and conditions?!
