You pay a hefty premium for the convenience and location though, so be aware that it might well be much cheaper elsewhere.

I like the smell of wood, paint and varnish. I like the really tall shelves. I like the kitchen and bathroom units that are on display - a great setting to play house as a child. In fact, when I was a child I would also race around trying to find that aisle that had the doorbells all set up on a wall, wired and ready to be pressed. They don't seem to have them these days, perhaps because they cottoned on that children such as I could spend many a happy hour pressing all of them while their parents strolled around looking at paint. Happy days. This store is cool, fully stocked and the staff are super-friendly and helpful. They even have a lovely Laura Ashley section upstairs, the stuff is soooo beautiful! I have been here a good few times since moving north of the river, for various home improvement bits 'n' bobs and always been able to pick up what I need.

In it's favour, Amy's is a nice sized store, well laid out. There is inexpensive glassware on offer and a selection of luggage and dog toys (not large). Basically Amy's has a fairly big selection of stuff for the home. You can occasionally spot a bargain like 1/2 price bedding or reduced Pyrex dishes. Not bad.

Everything is pretty standard as far as pricing goes as well!
