I don't think the location of the store does it any favours as it's tucked away in Eldon Gardens away from the main Eldon Square walkway.It's over two floors.The staff have always been helpful.I can't comment on aftersales as I have never had a problem with anything I've bought from them.

The Pier is a quality home wares store with a decidedly ethnic feel. The store in Newcastle is…read morelocated on the upper and lower decks within Eldon Gardens, and is a little out of the way of the main shopping routes. They sell large items of furniture, as well as sets, which can be delivered and must be ordered in. The sales are extremely good, with items up to 75% off. They also sell crockery, as well as decorative items such as vases, cushions, ornaments and so on. These can be very pretty, especially the crockery, however the ornaments retain a mass produced feel. Shop assistants tend to be friendly, although any issues after purchasing a product has to be dealt with with their phone customer support team.

Yorkshire Trading is located nearer the Sainsbury's end of Manor Walks Shopping Centre mall in…read moreCramlington. It is easily accessed from either the Sainsbury's carpark or the central carpark outside of the Subway shop. The store has a large staircase outside of it but it can be accessed if you have a wheelchair or pushchair via a ramp that leads alongside the florist shop at the central entrance doors of the mall. The store has two windows which are always set up in an attractive display showing what products they sell. In actual fact it would be quicker to say what they DON'T sell! From gardening equipment, tools, pain, household furnishings, cards, clothes, pet accessories, cleaning products, vitamins, books, underwear, fabrics, toys, stationary, sweets, ornaments and everything else for the home - this is my first port of call when I'm looking for a specifc item at the cheapest price. The store is huge and the aisles are qite narrow. Paint, tools and garden stuff is on the left. Clothes are on the right. Staionary and clothing accessories are in the central aisles. Fabrics are at the back of the store. You can actually buy ready made curtains etc or buy your own length of fabric from rolls. Everything else the sell is located in the far right hand side of the store. It is usually quite messy inside as buyers tend to rummage through the stock and leave it on the floor. Staff are always to be found around the shop to help you. There are often high wall displays where you will need to ask a staff member to retrieve an item. There are usually queues at the tills (there are about 3 or 4 tills). The staff are very nice and friendly though.

Since moving into the area I am a regular visitor to browse around the store. Inside the store they sell a full range of items from clothes, to party bags, to fabrics and materials.

You can get pretty much anything in this store, a must for anyone!

We ordered a table from funky chunky furniture and it arrived with a large unsightly crack on the…read moretable top. We contacted the company to start the returns process. They claimed that they do not normally accept returns, which goes against consumer rights, and then said they would take it back as a 'gesture of good will'. They would not cover the cost of the return postage which for a table of that size was £60.00, claiming that the crack was a 'rustic feature'. The table was not usable in its condition and the crack was not a feature despite their claims. Case raised with citizens advice to reclaim postage.

I was looking for some rustic shelving and needed a specific size so I emailed Funky Chunky…read moreFurniture with my specifications. After a couple of swift responses there were able to offer me with exactly what I was looking for which was great so I ordered the 'Rustic Oak Shelf'. The delivery time was excellent, couldn't ask for a better service so I will definitely recommend Funky Chunky Furniture to my friends and family in the future.
