It has some beautiful items for sale inside that are great as house gifts or just perfect accessories for your own home. I came in here to seek out something nice for a friend who had recently moved into her first home. I was really impressed by all the pretty little bits and bobs inside and I ended up distracted by things that I thought would like nice in my home, instead of my friend's! The staff were really friendly and very helpful and asked me if I needed any assistance or advice. In the end I bought a couple of candles and a cushion. The prices are moderate, but the items are very much worth it. This place also offers various interior design assistance for any projects or requirements that you may have. Overall, a great place!

The prices vary depending on the item. If you enjoy antiques or vintage furnishings, then this is the store for you!

It's a fascinating place - a proper antique furniture shop that is not in any way over-priced. I suspect that if this shop was in somewhere like Moseley, or Harborne, then the prices would rise accordingly, but as it's on a fairly run down strip of shops this really benefits the customer. I think they do house clearances, and Bourneville village is not far from this shop, and this is where there stock of lovely 1950s furniture must come from. Highly recommended if you are looking for unique and interesting furniture for your home.

This shop is particularly handy for one thing. The owner must have close links with someone who works at a weather station. He always knows when it will snow and as soon as the blanket of white falls there will be plastic sledges on display. Its either that or he has loads of sledges in storage somewhere and just plonks them out front, but that's not a very mystical or magical explanation. So, when Argos have run out of human-propelled snow vehicles, and you are at a loose end, here is where to come.

I have never gone into this shop and been unable to find what I'm looking for. It is stacked from floor to ceiling with useful stuff. The staff are really knowledgable and helpful. The last time I went in I needed some clear grout for the kitchen. Had absolutely no idea where to find it, what it was or how to use it. When I turned up in the shop I also had my son in the pushchair. The guys behind the counter patienty explained what I would need, went to get it for me as I couldn't manoeuvre the pushchair round the narrow shelves and then showed me how to use it. Thy even fitted the grout ino the gun thingy for me. Now, that is hat I call service. The price is good, the service great and it's a bit like a DIY grotto, what more could you possibly want from a local shop.
