I designed the kitchen but they helped fine-tuned the measurements and layouts. Jamie the boss delivered all the parts as they were short on delivery staff. He saw that the designed overhang of kitchen counter was too far out and not cosmetically pleasing so he got a new piece sent out the next day. Second time in 2017 I had a piece of kitchen counter top done (simple enough) and the service was professional.

Based along the same lines as Howard's Storage, except it's one of a kind and not a chain. I have to be honest and say they're not cheap and that too depends on what you need for where. For example I bought a two level spice rack for $40, crazy but true only because there was nothing else around and short of using two planks of wood in the pantry..there was nothing else available to buy anywhere else. It's a corner shop with several levels as it is on the hilly side of the road but every area has something for the purpose of storage. There's also a baragin section which is worth checking out as some items are up to half price. They stock what seems to be the entire range of Elfa storage systems and this is definitely not cheap but will last a life time. Internal storage systems are not designed to be pretty as they're not exposed to be seen all the time, so looks are not necessary only the function. Well worth a look as they have it all covered.

We wanted drawers installed in our pantry and one under-bench cupboard in our kitchen. On the…read morerecommendation of our neighbour we rang the Storage Shop who arranged for a man to call to give a quote. Mukesh arrived on the due date, early! We found him a a little hard to understand, but he knew his business. He was friendly and helpful, able to make good suggestions, yet listening to what (we thought) we needed. We accepted his quote which I thought was quite reasonable. Two weeks later he returned, exactly as arranged, and quickly installed the drawers. We are thrilled with the outcome. The drawers slide easily, and each drawer comes with a little wheel on the door side so that the door doesn't get marked. Ingenious! We paid by credit card, and there is some funny business about a receipt having to be returned by Australia Post a week later. This aspect of the business could be improved. However, we are delighted with this transaction, and would unreservedly recommend the Storage Shop for this type of installation.

This is almost entirely due to the fact that when you enter you really need to concentrate on a few items otherwise $1000 later and little Timmy isn't eating that night. You'll have the means to cook them but not the food. I'm keen to buy a white handled set of knives (the European brand escapes me) but at $800 for the set they have a while to wait to be in my kitchen. But there really is everything here and it's a big store so it's a lot of stuff. From traditional copper cookware, the type the French love to quirky shapes for the cookies that you'll make once you have food again. Pricey but with everything you'll need I can support your culinary adventures in Homewares Direct.

There are also oodles of gift ideas here. The best thing about Homewares Direct is the fantastic service. Unfortunately many customers are making use of this service by asking for advice on products and then purchasing them online. I fear for the future of small, locally owned business like this if people continue to do their research at boutique stores and then shop online to save a few dollars. I guess we'll see if stores like this can survive competing with the department store 40-50% off sales as well as online stores with lower overheads. There is plenty of parking on-site. Keep an eye out for there occasional sale sign out the front. If you get in when the time is right, you'll get an even better bargain.

This makes House not only a one-stop-shop for kitchen necessities, but also a great place for gift ideas. The staff is very friendly and helpful when it comes to assisting in picking out gift ideas. They also exercise an incredible amount of patience - even when my girlfriend and I took up to half an hour deciding between two different kinds of vases! Though it was bought as a gift, we were very appreciative of the shop assistant's attempts to make an informed decision based on our home decor and preferences. He also gift-wrapped it as soon as we committed to buy - I commend that sort of enthusiasm!

They've got gorgeously designed kitchen utensils, lovely vases, teacups and mugs... you know, all the stuff you can generally find in well-stocked kitchens! If you're looking for gifts for the foodie in your life definitely head in here - I bought a lemon zester thingy (yeah I'm not really good with the lingo, I'm no Nigella Lawson....sigh) for a friend and he acted like it was the best thing ever. I've also bought some china here too, gorgeous modern designs.

It has a decent range of supplies and offers a wide range of services, however I still feel as though Bunnings offers both more range and bang for your buck. The store is set out neatly with aisles that have different products to suit your home project needs, however getting staff advice can be occasionally difficult. The last time I went though, the staff seemed more friendly and polite than usual with quite large smiles on their faces. Gas bottle refills for $20 are probably the main reason why I come here as I do like doing a bit of barbecuing. The gardening section is also rather nice, however I still like Bunnings more for some of the quality of the plants and flowers. Screws and bolts are well priced here with a decent range too and if I ever need timber or wood, I would definitely consider coming here. Overall, a decent hardware store. Depends really on what you want as to whether this is the right store for you however for me, Bunnings is probably a better choice for most home projects.

They offer personalised service and know the meaning of customer service, they would not have survived for so long otherwise. Their showroom on South Rd has not seen a facelift for a very long time and it does appear tired but it's on the inside which counts. (Note: But I do think they need one though as it doesn't stand out very well and really does appear daggy). They carry the whole range of home furnishing for indoor and outdoor, enough to deck out the entire house and the majority is quality furniture. Lounge, dining, bedroom, outdoor is all covered but again it depends on your taste, style and preferences for brand. From extreme to the other, La-Z-Boy is one brand I do like as it's so comfortable but the bedding (not mentioning brands) on the other hand is a complete and utter disaster, each to their own. It's a good shop to come have a look and they do have sales now and again, you might just find what you're looking for. A general piece of advice...Before parting with your hard earned cash or inheritances do your research, just because it's 'new' doesn't mean it's worth it.
