Wilkins and Kent stock some beautiful things. Kitchenware, ceramics, organic soaps and candles, and…read moreof course well-made and divine woodwork are scattered around the space. On my last visit I spent a lot of my time eyeing a long handmade redgum bench. Sleek and simple it stood in the middle of the store and radiated comfort. Unfortunately the price tag (well over $1000) and lack of space in my house meant that I didn't have a hope in hell. But I can dream. Wilkins and Kent have some great kitchenware ranges including the Nigella Lawson range, and some exquisite ceramic bowls. On my last visit I bought some ceramic birds that hang from the wall - glazed with beautiful colours they are beautiful little pieces of art and around the ($50) mark, weren't too expensive. The service at Wilkins and Kent is always great, although the store can get very busy so it may take a while to get some service. But friendly and well meaning, the sales assistants are helpful and knowledgeable about the products.

Wilkins and Kent is one of those must-visit stores for me on Brunswick street. Filled with a…read morekaleidoscope of products from pretty table ware to chic bakeware and printed lamps. This is also one of those stores that you need to slowly work your way through in order to appreciate it for what it really is. Incidentally, it would be easy to mistake this shop as a homeware store, but in actuality, Wilkins and Kent specialise in custom designed furniture. And from what we hear, the bosses Jeremy Wilkins and Stephen Kent are the actual furniture makers. If you're looking to create a custom designed piece or are just looking for something to complement your home with, check out this lovely store. Wilkins and Kent also carry a wide range of household décor items, stationery, gardening tools and other bits and bobs - perfect as gifts.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence store in Brunswick East is an absolute gem of a place when moving…read morehouse or needing some replacement furniture. There you'll find an array of cheap second-hand sofas, chairs, desks, tables, fridges, microwaves, pieces of artwork and much more. If you don't have a car, they can even arrange delivery of your stuff if you live in the area. I found some amazing bar stools for $15 each, a lazyboy style chair for $25 and some cheap sofas at around $30 each. In short: it is an absolute treasure chest and you can also feel good about contributing to a well recognised charity that is working for an Australia that is free from poverty. Good luck exploring!

This is possibly my single favourite op shop in Melbourne…read more The clothes are very well laid-out by style and colour (e.g. All white t-shirts are together) although my OCD takes over occasionally and I find myself putting stuff elsewhere if I see it incorrectly stashed. The funky music always makes me smile, and there is a vintage section at the front where they have special items. They have a ton of adult clothing, some kids' stuff, books, a load of kitchenware, lots of furniture and jewellery. They are even open now on Sundays so I don't have to cram my weekend op shop fix into Saturday! The only thing I could think of to improve is to offer a few more hooks in the change rooms.

I'm a bit torn on how to award the right number of stars for this review. On one hand, this place…read morehas been largely where I bought many of my first furniture items. On the other, the stuff that comes out of these shops are cheap, shitty, and awful, being about 95% corkboard and 5% miscellaneous crap to hold it together. To be fair, I'm saying three stars because from both points of view, it's probably fair. If you need to get yourself a houseload of furniture and you don't have much cash, this place is it. If you can afford it, you'll shop elsewhere. The service is pretty damn good, though. Staff are cheerful and helpful, and if you just want to be left the hell alone in your private shame of considering a $200 bed, then they're not offended if you tell them that you'll call on them if you need help. I've gotten a few things here. Many of them are still in one piece.

I know this stationery mega store has pretty much everything one could need when it comes to office…read moresupplies, but I still struggle to walk out of Officeworks satisfied. I usually frequent the Collingwood store these days for last minute office emergencies, but the Frankston store was always my local. Both I have found, lack that all important quality customer service. It is my belief, that if a store is going to be built by such epic proportions, then the business needs to supply adequate staff to be on the floor at all times, in all departments. On far too many occasions, I have been in a rush to locate something in particular and have found absolutely no one around for miles. The store's so empty I could hear crickets. Prices may be reasonable but if I can't find someone to consult on what the best say, webcam is or style of photo paper is best, I'm going to leave the store. Which I have done. On numerous occasions. Perhaps if megastores like Officeworks put as much effort into their customer service as they do their product range and low prices, they wouldn't lose as many customers.
