“this shop has been closed for a very long time went there today Jan 27 2022 and unlikely to return....ill be constructive in my criticism and you either take on board or dont....the "quality" of items for sale was very disappointing giving the impression that the shop had been given the **** that other shops have failed to sell....iv used this outlet for over 5yrs+ and have always found a quality bargain ...today was very disappointing,you would think the area manager would source decent stock to help the shop re-establish itself...obvs not....with stock like today this shop cannot and will not survive....now for the personnel....i was in shop for 20mins+ and at no time was my presence acknowledge with as much as a Good morning...the 3 members of staff/volunteers simply carried on with their charades/partylike shenanigans as if i was invisible,messing around totally unprofessional!More concerned with fact that a shoe had disappeared from sale.....1st time my presence was acknowledged was when i stood at till waiting to pay......if Area Manager is Sam who i have spoken to in person at Sturdee Road previously then Sam you need to swiftly retrain Ryan(?) and his volunteers in customer interaction ...thank you for taking time to read my constructive comments....hopefully they will be taken on board regards Sam.....”

“I brought a dining table and chairs from here but before they could be delivered we realised we no longer needed them. I thought it may be a problem and I have to take store credit but the lady said it was fine and gave me my money and delivery money back. I was very happy with this service. I have now brought large rug from here and also a childrens bed frame. I think they also sell new items.”
