They are far more cheaper than a well-known leading rival DIY centre where I got all my wallpaper and paints from. the Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about what they are selling. I would certainly shop here again, now that I know where it is!

This B&Q Extra store is essentially a giant warehouse which is separated into sections covering…read morethings like home decoration, maintainance, lighting, plumbing, power tools, and even a large garden centre and a builders yard. Everything you could need for home improvement is here, and quite often for a very good price. This particular store has a large free car-park, a trade bay, public toilets, and a coffee shop as well as the regular offerings of a B&Q store but on a larger scale, and so offering a wider range. If something goes wrong in the house, or something needs to be done, yeah we could go to Homebase, or if there's a Wickes nearby, but 9 times out of 10 we choose to go to B&Q Bolton!

A huge B&Q -- and, to be honest, a good example of its type. The critical thing in such huge places…read morelike this is the helpfulness of the staff, and this branch scores highly here -- we've been in several times and the staff have been unfailingly helpful in sorting us out as quickly as possible (which is especially appreciated as we have two kids aged 3 and 5 who seem to have an especially low boredom threshold) As you'd expect, the stock range is huge, although we haven't always been able to find what we want (their range of light bulbs wasn't sufficient for our needs!) -- hence I feel I can only give four stars.

HomeSense is a chain of discount home furnishing stores, it is owned by TK Maxx, who also has a…read morestore next to this one in the Manchester Arndale. like TK Maxx the branding/styling of the name is different on this side of the Atlantic. The store is large and has a good selection of bits and bobs, from pillows to appliances, from ice cube trays and cheese-graters. Considering, they're supposed to be a "discount" chain, I did find some prices to be a little high, if you're lucky you'll find a high-quality item with a good discount/offer though, so it's kind of like a TKMaxx jumble sale but replacing the clothes with home items. The staff seemed friendly and happy to help me find what I was looking for, and the experience at the checkout was smooth. This is a fairly good store, obviously, some deals are better than others, but probably the best selection of home furnishing in the Manchester Arndale, with a fairly presentable store and helpful staff. 4*

I'm kind of in love with this shop. It's dreamy! The window displays are whimsical and they're sure…read moreto draw you in every time. The seasonal produce is brilliant, both food items and general home ware. They've got the Christmas stock in at the moment and it's absolutely gorgeous, snow globes and crockery, bath products and food. You name it :) I had to drag myself out of the shop before I spent my entire pay check. I love that you can get top quality, one off items here are a very decent price. The staff are always helpful and the store is clean and well presented. They also have a pretty good reduced to clear range. If you're in to DIY like me you can pick up something that's a little damaged for a ridiculous price and fix it up at home. I've saved so much doing this. I also find this shop to be ideal for gift shopping as they stock such a wide range of products, the packaging tends to be beautiful and I can pick up items here that I wouldn't normally see in other shops.
