The ladies are brilliant, really helpful and pointed me to their website if I was after something that wasn't on show...I can not recommend this place enough, its guaranteed you'll not find most of this stuff anywhere else and if you do they can't match the price....I love it and will be back.

Walk in the Pier and the first thing that hits you is the wonderful smell of scented candles.They…read morehave a huge variety of these in a multitude of fragrances and sizes.They cost a little more but are quality candles.The Pier does'nt do everyday,they do individual style with an ethnic feel.You can buy anything from candles to windchimes,dining sets to fabulous rugs and they all offer to give you that little bit of individuality. 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.

They seem to change their stock fairly often, so if you see something you want, buy it then! Usually if you go back they've run out.

This Ikea is one of the larger ones around. Situated right next next the Metrocentre, it is a great…read morelocation but this also means it can be crazy busy. If you've ever been to the Metrocentre you know that the traffic is hellish on weekends, so I recommend staying away then. Although it's very large it has a weird layout and feels rather cramped and squished together. Especially in the low-ceilinged warehouse which has laughably short shelves. There is a restaurant half way through the shop as per usual selling the favourites like meatballs and lingonberries but it's very dingy with no natural lighting. Some other Ikeas have windows in them but this one does not. I don't get why they added a "mezzanine" for the market hall. Could they have not just built more shop and put it there? It makes the warehouse more cramped and it's more effort using the lifts or travellators to go up and down. It is pretty good though. Every time I've been in it's never been as chaotic and stressful as the Edinburgh store and the stock here tends to be better than in other Ikeas. So although I've badmouthed Ikea Gateshead quite a bit it's still got its good points.
