I'm not a fan of Super A-mart whose showroom is chook full of cheap-looking, student -style…read morefurniture without the student prices. The warping chipboards on their book shelves and flimsy mattresses on the bed frames make me suspect their durability. On the plus side, the Macgregor showrooms are huge. There's one big shed dedicated to outdoor furnishings, another shed for office and a third shed for indoor lounge/ dining. The first time I came here, I didn't appreciate the distance between the showrooms. By the time I walked to the third shed (in the midday sun), I was dehydrated. Points go to their excellent vending machine facilities in the third shed. Perhaps they've had too many customers faint while walking the length of their showroom. For future reference, it's much better to drive you car around to park at the specific shed you are after. Super A-mart is worth checking out during the sales if you are looking at furnishing student accommodation at relatively cheaper prices.

I understand this is considered cheap furniture here, but at this price level at an equivalent…read morestore in Canada (where I come from ), the quality would be about 50% of what it is here. Wood items are mostly solid wood, there's lots of leather and mostly leather furniture, fabric quality is good, and now that we have the furniture in our home, I can tell you everything is perfectly comfortable. They have three separate showrooms, one for living room, one for bedroom, and one for outdoors. Prices are pretty good, at a little more than half of what you might find at just about any furniture store. Delivery was quick and painless and customer service was not bad, either. One of our items arrived damaged, but they replaced it right away with no questions asked.

I have never met anyone who doesn't love to sleep. It's bliss! So when it comes to buying a…read moremattress it's like going on a date. You have to make sure you are the right fit for each other, and that there won't be any problems down the line. Sleep City were very helpful in all departments! The lady who helped me out, Maree, was lovely and definitely wanted me to save as much money as possible. Mattresses are expensive bloody things, so you want to make sure you're getting a good product for the amount you pay. After many horizontal tests and rolling around in display beds, a mattress was finally chosen! Hoorah! Couch surfing can cease! They also organised some pain-free delivery! Sleep City have a great range of mattresses at much more reasonable prices than the big chain bedding stores. The service was delightful and if I need a new one in 10 years time (when the warranty runs out) then I hope Sleep City are still around.

When we got to the store we were met by Greg who helped us throughout. We got to try the robot bed…read morethat prints out a report on the mattresses best suited. We then tried six mattresses in a range of prices for five minutes each. Greg would leave us to have some privacy when trying before directing us to the next sample. We found him knowledgeable and unobtrusive. He even switched test pillows he felt were suited to our neck profile. There was no pressure to buy. However he told us there is a discount for RACQ members which we would not otherwise have found out. You can pay by a variety of cards including Amex, cash or they can give you their back account details. Three thumbs up.

This seems pretty permanent for a pop up shop, but considering I couldn't find a phone number…read moreonline it may be. I wandered in while walking past, and aside from some cheap (vinyl) bar stools at the front there wasn't much more to attract. There was a wooden bed for $299 which I thought looked OK, but all of their couches were either leather or outdoor, and nothing was much cheaper than $800. Probably not where I'll visit when I'm refurnishing.

Whilst we bought our king sized bed frame from Harvey Norman, we wanted our son to transition from…read morehis cot to big boy bed in style too. But we were on a budget. So we went here and ended up buying him a really awesome cushioned on all sides double bed frame and might I say, he loves it. It cost us under $200 and a similar bed frame everywhere else was at least $400, the quality was pretty much the same. We also went back when they had their Easter sale and bought our 2 leather recliners for my husband's 'man-room' there for $200 off the price listed which we were pretty damned happy about. We did do our research and the thing is, A-Mart have previously never been known for their quality, people usually went there to get the cheaper furniture because they couldn't afford to get the quality stuff. Having said that, this A-Mart now stocks more than a handful of awesome dining tables (which we bought a set of) and leather chairs as well as outdoor furnitre which I'm sure we will check out as well when we have the budget for it. So A-Mart is coming good and trying to shed the previous image, good on them! Definetely check out their cute little leather chairs for kids too, at $99 they are so worth it. Plus, how cool would they look.
