Oh IKEA. How can you be so, so rubbish at organising deliveries!?…read more I can't really be bothered to type up an angry rant about how truly rubbish IKEA call centre staff, IKEA twitter staff and IKEA delivery staff are. They like to lie and pretend things are on the way to ensure you have to take unnecessary time off work. My advice for yelpers is not to attempt using their expensive, crappy delivery service. Visit the shop yourself and use a taxi or hire a van to get your things home. The delivery service takes weeks (at least over a month)...and does not even show up even after they promise "100%" that they will arrive. Wankers.

In contrast to the Wembley branch this is a cramped facsimile that makes no pretence about being just a big warehouse. The place feels like a crowded warehouse even when empty. It is the rabbit warren of hell, it is the tesco express of ikea. The need to to get out was so distracting that none of the actually quite nice items are bought. Awful, use the Wembley branch if you can. It's only 15 mins away on the North Circular and you will leave with your sanity (even then be sure to go first or last thing)

There is not a huge choice of different brands etc but that is not to be expected in a smaller branch of Tesco. They do have offers regularly (different to the larger Tesco branches) and they aregreat at reducing items that are comingup to their use-by date so you can get some bargains! There is also a cash machine outside of the store which does not charge for withdrawals- very handy!

Their service has been absolutely outstanding, nothing has been too much trouble despite the fact we've had our carpets fitted in different rooms at different times and ended up asking them to keep half the carpet in storage for a year! In terms of price, my husband was convinced the likes of Carpetright would be cheaper with their eye catching 70% off sale nonsense but when we went along and compared like for like we actually found the price was exactly the same! In summary, I can't recommend them highly enough and would definitely encourage people to support this excellent local business! We really felt looked after and EJ have a personal touch which you just wouldn't get at one of the big chain carpet businesses.

Is that ok?" Please would the likes of John Lewis take note.... Our fitters were not only timely, but they were very polite, extremely tidy, and incredibly clean, and clearly very proud of the job they did making a not-quite-six year old's bedroom perfect for her. The price was - as another customer has commented - extremely competitive, but to be honest, for this level of professionalism and service, I would pay more. We will definitely use them again when we are ready to do the rest of the house!

It's like a…read morelittle IKEA (slightly more out there like with the toilet golf gift, haha) with very awesome prices and a neat set-up. I loved looking at everything, it was very tough not to walk out of there with like 100 items. I ended up buying a cute shower curtain and a little pepper mill shaped like a lady for about £14. The girls working there were very helpful & patient when I tried to use my US debit card (no pin & chip sadly) and they had to get my proper signature on a receipt, look at my US driver license to compare the signature, and then put that in the cash drawer. They were so nice and even said it was a learning experience for everyone! Haha. Love Tiger!!

This is the Clapham branch of the bourgeois gift chain Oliver Bonus, located on the cute and…read moreachingly middle class Pavement, near Clapham Old Town. Oliver Bonus is one of those shops that sells a bit of everything, Clothes, stationary, jewellery, cosmetics and items for the home to name but a few. This branch is large, and very interior design orientated, filled with sofas, chandeliers and nic naks for your posh home. And you'll pay a large price too. Although the content of the shop is very nice, i find it a little smug. But that's just my opinion, and with 24 stores around London they're obviously doing something right!

I'd definitely recommend going in the sales!
