No landlords restricting painting, and enough space to put things that look nice and comfortable. This place on the outside just reads 'The Furniture Centre'. However, on their website they call themselves 'DFS - The Furniture Centre'. I am guessing this is so that they show up on search engines when people search for DFS Furniture, fair play to them. But they are not *the* DFS, so don't be confused between the two. Despite this they still offer a really good range of furniture, at a much cheaper price than the original DFS. Coffe tables, console tables, occasional tables, TV and media Units, storage units and book cases, tub chairs and arm chairs, dining room furniture, kitchen and bar furniture, mirrors, bedroom furniture, sofas and sofa beds can all be seen in their 4 showrooms. They also offer free delivery on purchases of over £1000.

Most of the stuff is dirt cheap, but beware, as you can easily end up spending a fair few quid once you've had a look around. There's a wide selection of canvas prints and frames, lots of arts and crafts things, a huge selection of pet goodies, a garden centre section, beds, tables and chairs, sofas, bedlinen, bathroom stuff, tools, kitchen stuff, sweeties, pop, crsips, a coffee shop, sewing things, and BEANBAGS, I put that in capital letters because beanbags are hard to get hold of nowadays.

From cleaning products, kitchen items, DIY bits and bobs, cheap snacks, cards and so much more - they've got it covered. If you're a keen shopper/browser it's a veritable treasure chest to explore.

They've beds, lamps and all other kinds of home furnishings in a range of styles. Faux-antique right through to the more modern sleek look. I bought an awesome 'telephone box' lamp for my room at home, which is so kitsch and delightful and only set me back £15. (I can imagine it costing a ton more in a vintage shop!) My Mum was particularly overjoyed with a red painted vase that she picked up as well, of which they had many different shades! So, there's plenty to get excited about, and not too pricey as well. However, all that glitters is not gold. I did come away having purchased a few oil reed scent dispensers (the pots of oils with the wooden reeds) and they simply don't work at all. They were only a pound each, but I can see why they were so cheap as they give off no scent at all! Even so, I'm pleased as punch with my lamp so that more than makes up for it!

It was the first time I'd been in a shop which I cannot categorize by what it sells, IT SELLS EVERYTHING !! From bleach to crisps, rugs to xbox games, they have almost everything under one roof. The only thing I can say lets it down is a lack of electrical goods like TV's but if you're looking for a pack of brass tacks and a birthday card for auntie Mabel this is a good place to start........ and if you're feeling tired you can nip upstairs and pretend you're testing a bed out :)

Should you be less desperate to spend in expensive/showy type shops I might suggest that you try here instead. It is down to earth and really quite reasonably priced too. Of the bedside furniture I saw they had a range of cute little drawer sets. There was a 'kent pine' ottoman for £59 (on sale, original price was £99) which I thought was fantastic. They also had a 'pembroke' four drawer set, which did look a little granny-tastic, but it was reduced down to £149 from £179. As well as those items they had mattresses, frames and more, all again at similarly reasonable costs. Not bad, especially since you only need visit the city centre.

They also have a limited range of beds, dining tables and wardrobes. As well as furniture they have plenty of carpet samples on display. Though if it's a carpet you're looking for you're probably better of missioning- it across the road as the other shop is VAST and sells carpets carpets carpets! They come in a huge variety of thicknesses, colours and patterns which should satisfy most tastes and budgets.

There are a few chairs with brightly-coloured seats or heart-shaped backs that you could imagine in a teenagers bedroom and quite a few lamps in many different styles, some with unusual glass beaded lamp shades and others with more traditional lamp shades with tassels. Smaller items include glass vases and a range of shaving mirrors. They also sell one or two cots, fish tanks and small shelving units. If you're in the market and you happen to be on the lookout for one or two pieces of cheap furniture it's worth having a look in Roman Furniture but it has a limited range and only really caters for those who like their furniture with a shiny modern look.

The people who run the stall are helpful and knowledgeable, directing me when I have needed indoor or outdoor plants and educating me in the benefits of plant food. On asking for some plants that did not require too much care or attention, I was swiftly guided towards some hardy foliage, with a knowing look. The larger plants in particular are much cheaper than the ones of a similar size in chain stores. There is a fantastic range, which includes fresh herbs, cacti and many other leafy beauties. We got a Christmas tree with a fantastic shape and height this year, for a very reasonable fee. This stall has a gorgeous old cash till which must be an antique, an attractive feature to notice. All in all, a great place to stock up on a lovely bit of vegetation to brighten up your house.
