    City Furniture is a recent addition to City Road, and has presumably arrived to take advantage of…read morethe student demographic in this area. It has stiff competition from A1 Furniture on Albany Road and The X Catalogue Shop and Star Furnishings a little further up City Road itself. City Furniture is smaller than the other outlets mentioned, but still occupies a sizeable space and they have rammed it to the rafters with stock. This doesn't do a great deal for appearances, but it does show you a good range of products. I would say that on the whole the furniture on offer at City Furniture is a little bit more upmarket than you'll get elsewhere in this area... some of the beds look really comfy and robust, and are clearly made with quality materials. I'm in the market for a bed, and called in to City Furniture a couple of weeks ago to see how good their opening sale was. Sajid, the Managing Director, was just about to close up shop, but still made time to talk. He' a really affable fellow, and promised to deliver me a bed anywhere I wanted. Double beds start at £90.00, which is pretty competitive! They also stock sofa's, dining furniture, bedroom furniture, including some Italian stock. In addition they have a limited range of ornaments and soft furnishings.

    This furniture store is competing with the likes of Star Furniture at the other end of city road…read more The stock range is varied and full to bursting point so much so that they stack items. As with discount furniture you can benefit from very low costs, I'm not to sure of the build quality but with these prices I wouldn't expect hardwood material. Students and other temporary residents can get some bargains that are cheap enough to leave behind when they relocate. As with most home furniture stores they have beds, bookcases, draws, wardrobes, tables, chairs and many other types of stock as well as some soft furnishings.

    South Wales Furniture is one of those places that has always got a sale on, or is offering some…read morekind of inducement to go into their store, or as they say in legal terms 'invitation to treat' - quaint eh? The façade makes the shop look a little bit more up market than it actually is. This is a rock bottom price, cheap and nasty furniture shop that I would be loath to buy something in. It's not that I'm opposed to a bargain, I love them, but when it comes to badly made furniture made from questionable materials, then I draw the line. They are always false economy. Not only do they generally look entirely naff, but they fall to pieces very quickly. I'd much rather buy second hand and pay around the same, but get myself something that has been made out of something solid and appealing. I'd even buy a secondhand bed rather than buy it here, although I'd be pretty careful about the mattress. I suffer from a bad back, and know from bitter experience that cheap beds are generally inferior to a good old fashioned sprung mattress. I think South Wales Furniture relies on first year students who don't know all of the great places to pick up second hand furniture, and aspirational people on low incomes that wouldn't be seen dead buying anything second hand, Good! Better pickings for me!

    This is a fairly uninspiring furniture shop but it does sell some very low price beds and other…read morefurniture if you're after a bargain. There's basically a permanent sale on, probably in a bid to shift some of the less attractive items - and there are plenty of those scattered about the shop floor, including some shockingly hideous vinyl-covered sofas that I honestly find hard to imagine anyone buying. Despite all of this, I've seen basic, plain wooden bed bases in this shop that are inoffensive and incredibly cheap, so if you're trying to furnish a place cheaply it might be worth a look around - but I don't know how long they'd last!

    Why has this only just opened? Why couldn't it have opened last year when I was looking for…read morefurniture and was forced to go to Ikea instead? I was convinced that City Road/Crwys Road were populated with second hand furniture stores when I moved into my new house, but I was clearly hallucinating. So, I was so pleased to find this store had opened, next to that most ethical supermarket, The Coop. The shop has a vast floor and has a wide variety of new and used furniture, electricals and general stuff for the home. Sofa's a-go-go - ranging in proce from really cheap (and look it) to really reasonable three piece suites, leather and modern funiture. There is bedroom furniture from brand new pine stuff to more 'retro' good as well as a vast array of TVs from £10! We may not be talking plasma, wide screen HD TV here, but good enough for a games console or student bedroom to keep up to date with Corrie. Most pleasing was the appearance of reasonably priced and reasonable condition 1930s furniture including sideboards, wardrobes and dressing tables. When looking for this stuff before I was reduced to online and pseudo 'antique' shops which charged an arm and a leg. If you're a student, moving into your first house or generally want a slightly more retro look to your home then please check this shop out first before hitting the obvious!

    Moving into a new place is an arduous process. You've got bills to worry about, bank accounts to…read morecontact and drain dry, boxes to move and people to buy beer and pizza for, parties to plan... Moving into an unfurnished place is even worse. Especially if you're of the studenty bent. Not only do you have all the previous issues to deal with, you've also got to source new furniture, gather funds to pay for said furniture, or buy and eat enough pizza to build furniture from the leftover boxes. You may think I'm joking about that last one. I'm not. I've seen it done. Wasn't comfy, but what you lacked in comfort you more than made up for in lots and lots of pizza. Here's where BHS steps in. Their second hand furniture and electrical store lets you furnish a house cheaply, and on top of that, you know your money is going to a good place, which appeals to all those kind-hearted students, and the cynical gits who are trying to hope on the good foot and do the bad thing with said kind-hearted students.
