Probably one of the biggest Wilko's I've been in, I can get everything I need in this one store. Most of my lampshades at home came from here because the range they had on offer was much more extensive to what Leeds had to show me. It also happens to be across the road from where my best friend works, so it's a very useful place to kill time while waiting for her to finish work!

Not sure if Sarah P actually left the Quadrant...Swansea also has an M&S and BHS, which I my memory…read moreserves me right are both department stores...and of course it'll be smaller than Cardiff...most stores in Wales outside of Cardiff ARE small. Anyway, Debenhams. I do like it, especially during the final days of their Blue Cross sale, when things go buy one get on free. Because of this, I managed to buy 4 bras for the princely sum of £12 - two of them the fairly pricey Miss Ultimo bras. I was impressed. I could spend ages in Debenhams, and more so now that the Benefit counter has expanded to include an eyebrow bar - now if the one in Leeds could just follow along with that, it'd be much appreciated!

You can also buy gift tokens to use in any branch. However, there's no food and no toiletries either.

If…read moreyou want to search out end of range bargains, however, this could be the place for you, with some genuine reductions to be had. Even so, there were two main problems. First, in many of the better ranges on offer, there was next to nothing available in the normal range of sizes. Second, many items appeared to be marked 'special purchase' implying they were not really sales items but inferior quality goods shipped into the outlet as they were not of a standard normally associated with M&S. In other areas, however, for example towels, underwear etc. some good deals can be picked up. You'll either love it or hate it!

Pros: Large store in a convenient location in the centre of Llanelli. It has a wide range of…read moreproducts ranging from gardening tools to general household goods to confectionery. Very popular store that has thrived in the St Elli Shopping Quadrant since it opened approximately 10 years ago. I find the store to be handy for buying some pet food and garden accessories such as parts for greenhouses. Located on two floors there are a lot of products on offer. A lot of products are cheaply priced. Cons: Although they have a large variety of stock a lot of products are Wilkinson's own make which are not necessarily as good quality as your named brands.

Whilst there is a feeling of being watched as you reach of the top of the stairs you can tell that customers are few and far between at this shop and I guess thats why you can always find so many items on sale here. The quality of the clothes isnt always fantastic, I have bought a few items and found them to be see through which is not ideal. So always try on the clothes first. Also I have found that some of the clothes do lose their shape easily in the wash so they really are throw away clothes, unfortunately their prices do not reflect this.

Generally the quality of items is good, except for the jewellery which lasts hours. When I recently returned an item of jewellery a staff member confirmed they regurally have jewellery returned and have a box under the counter especially for returned jewellery due to the amount that is returned. The store occasionally appears a little messy but is generally well set out. There are regurally queues at the till, despite there being around 10 tills. During Christmas the queue becomes ridiculously long. A good selection of items but I'd only recommend shopping here if you need a few things and have the time to spare queuing.
