From beds to cabinets to tables you name it, Furniture Kingdom II have all of these in stock. For a furniture store, the prices here are decent and are much cheaper than what you would find in furniture retail shops. What I will also say is that the quality of items on offer here are particularly good and this place is well worth a visit. It is a big store although there were some cramped areas. Staff are excellent and they will happily help you out. Having spoken to the staff here, I got the impression that they really are passionate about the company they work for. They also care about their customers as well which is great to see. And I'll also say you can have plenty of banter with them. A decent furniture store and one shop I might well visit again.

For the uninitiated, a futon is a type of bed, specifically, a kind of cross between a regular mattress and a camping mattress that sits on the floor of a room. Whilst you may imagine this as being very uncomfortable, I use one (purchased from where else but Futon Company) and I can safely say that it's the comfiest thing I've ever slept on. If you're not quite ready to fully commit to a life on the low ground, then futons can also be used on camping trips. You can buy an easy folding, compactable 'futon in a bag' for just £60 (which is a sight cheaper than buying bed). There's a surprising range of futons available, and the staff are always friendly. Make your next bed a futon!

I am a massive IKEA fan! Each one is the same... but different. Most have their basic products, but…read moresometimes their minor product range is different depending on the location and country. I know this for a fact, as I've been to IKEAs in nearly every western European country and USA! "Why?" you might ask!? Because it's so much fun! And I can Always rely on a scrumptious and affordable meal in their cafes! This location is basically the same as all the others, but in my opinion it is much larger! One of the biggest buildings in central Coventry! It has 3 floors of parking and 6 or more floors in the building total! Your main starting point is on the floor with 'showrooms'. You can find this floor via the 4 massive elevators from the parking garage. Once you manage to make your way through that, the next level down is smaller individual items for sale, like kitchenware, bedding, storage etc. Then the final level down is the massive warehouse of huge items in boxes to buy. I hope you wrote your item # down somewhere or took a pic on your phone, because there's never many people on this floor to help you! Before the check out, be sure to stop by the discounted area. These are the items that someone returned, partially broken, or old showroom furniture. The checkout queues are usually a bit of a wait, but this location has a self service area if you only have a few things. I suggest eating at the cafe before you shop. At this location it is located on the top floor, near the toilets, and conveniently before you begin with the showrooms. Sometimes I get carried away that after shopping I have so much stuff my trolley won''t fit in the cafe seating area. If that happens, put everything in your car and head back up. (Hassle) The cafe offers a wide selection of full meals at very reasonable prices. And desserts, drinks of all sorts, etc. There is also an area for nursing and a small kids play area. Coventrys IKEA won't let you go home hungry! They've even got a second smaller cafe down stairs on the groundfloor, and another quick one after the tills! Also after the tills is a small geocery store with packaged goods to take home and make for dinner. And don't feel bad about dragging you little ones through the place for a couple hours... because there is actually a daycare center here to let them get off all their steam! Tips and Tricks: Join the IKEA Family card program to get a free type of insurance on faulty products. This card also gets you free coffee or tea any time of day... and discounts of select main courses. It also allows for you to know about upcoming events. Last but not least, scan your club card receipt after every shop for a special spurise! Use the loo before you shop, because once you're in the IKEA "maizes", it takes quite some time to actually get out! Allow yourself enough time to lose yourself in the creative mindset of what your potential home or office space could become! This is a creative space! Coventrys location allows you to validate your parking ticket after shopping. Also if you enter your car around the secret back side entrance, you can save some time and park on the ground floor. This is also useful for walking around the city center so not to navigate stairs or elevators. Enjoy & good luck!

Who loves a trip to IKEA? THIS GAL!…read more I am going to work on the idea that you haven't ever been to IKEA before and give you the full roundup of the fun that awaits you on your first trip... 1) Parking. Parking at IKEA is a nightmare, especially if you go on a weekend. As a top tip; get there for opening. You should be able to find a space relatively easily and don't have to play the "round and around" the car park game. 2) Confusion. Don't get confused! Yes, a lot of stuff is pre-laid out into rooms as little slices of an ideal home, but you can still get the goods which are on displayu... that just comes later! 3) Bags. I would thoroughly recommend taking yourself some large bags from home if you want to avoid buying their gigantic "builders sand" style carriers. If you are purchasing furniture (which is another battle we will come on to), it comes in a box which you can pop straight into your car. If you are buying bigs and pieces, take a bag or two with you. 4) Small Items/linen/kitchen goods. Right... Don't panic about not finding what you want when you are walking around the room layouts... Everything becomes clear when you get to the marketplace. These areas are split into bedroom, storage, kitchen, bathroom and other areas, so if you're looking for something from a particular room layout you can find it here. 5) Furniture (the biggie). After the marketplace is the warehouse. This can be really daunting but the staff will be happy to point you in the right direction if you have noted down the name of the item you want. Be warned, some of the boxes will be very heavy (remember to bend with your knees). Last but not least... Food! There is a cafe and fast food stand in this IKEA store where you can buy everything from cute Swedish cakes to hotdogs (for a bargain £1). If you have an IKEA family card, you can claim a free coffee and tea in the week too! In summary... A first trip to IKEA can be stressful, but the staff are helpful and the prices are great for the product choice. Take a good look around as you never know what you might find (it's impossible to do the whole store in less than an hour) and don't forget that you can visit their little food shop at the end! This stocks a great range of Cider, frozen food, snacks and cakes!

When my friend mentioned this shop to me recently, I kept mishearing the name and thought she kept…read moresaying "Shabbywacky" , a name inspired by Lewis Carrolls' nonsensical poem "Jabberwocky". So when I stood outside the store and read "Shabby AND Wacky", I was expecting highly unusual items for sale. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor and the many items on sale in a small shop. I was even bold enough to ask to see the homewares and furnishings at the back in the workshop/storage area. There were numerous second hand pieces - chairs, tables, mirrors - which were ready to be upcycled. I enjoyed browsing round but my only criticism is the pricing. My friend enquired about a large mirror and the asking price was £200! I can understand if the business was in a very affluent, cosmopolitan area with a number of other independent, stylish stores which offered similar wares or competitive prices. But this store is tucked away in a small shopping precinct surrounded by takeaways, fast food outlets and a charity shop. It does stand out from the other stores but nothing that I hadn't seen before. It is a lovely shop and I would recommend it, but only if you are in the vicinity or if you want that little bit something different to hire for weddings/parties like a candy trolley. Here, you may find small gifts, accessories and knick knacks which are "vintage or retro-inspired", pretty to behold and inspiring. If you do decide to purchase, might be worth trying to barter a decent price first...overall, an interesting experience.

When they say "Modern and traditional" they literary mean it as there were rugs with cities on them to rugs with typical cashmere design, amazing! I'm pretty sure every single type of rug could be found here. However the shop isn't that big so if you wanted to fully roll out a rug it would have to be done on top of other rugs. The owner was really nice and helpful enough to answer all my curios questions about the rugs and the business. I think the only negative criticism I have about this shop is that they don't do delivery and I honestly thought I was going to fall and break a bone on the stairs. They were so narrow, fragile and crooked and the loose banister didn't help!

It became a bit of a thing, where people planned in advance where they wanted to explore at 4am on a given date, and this was one of those locations. We must have arrived about 5am, and compared to the rest of the city, the market was a bustling hive of colour and voices and activity. Stalls and stalls of fresh produce and flowers, assaulting the senses visually and through smell too. (Olfactorily?) It felt surreal anyway, as it was 5 in the morning, but the people working there were all bright and eager to chat, or to have their produce photographed. There's a cafe in the heart of the markets that is amazing too!

Is this some kind of joke or something? Or some sort of ritual? I did manage to get up early and we got to the market for 4.30am; by that time the place was buzzing. I couldn't believe it because it was so early in the morning for so many people to be up and about. There were so many people eager to purchase fresh products. There are lots of markets selling flowers, I guess this is to be expected at a horticultural market. I kind of appreciated why my friend loved the market so much; though it's not really my kind of thing- I'd recommend people to at least experience it once.
