Furniture For The Home in general Reviews

My ideal house would be ultra modern. It would have a really modern exterior design to start off with as well as a large garden, that isn't crammed full of plants and trees. I would also like some kind of summer house/green house. For a lounge, I love the modern furniture you can buy nowadays. Preferably leather as it looks the best, ...

Never buy a Helibed. Bought lightweight metal bed last November and metal rungs collapsed after 4 months of intermittent use. Visited the shop in person once and telephoned the head office a further 4 times without resolution of the problem. This bed had a 1 year guarantee. I therefore expected that it would at least be repaired or a new ...

A couple of months ago we had several Kitchens companies out to design us a new kitchen. One of them was Space Kitchens who were a real nightmare and wouldn't leave the house. The other was Belgam Kitchens. They were the best quote by a couple of hundred pounds and really impressed us with the design. We were a bit apprehensive because we ...

We recently chose to buy carpets from Allied Carpets in Northampton. We took advantage of their sale and bought a good quality carpet for a decent price. I admit to being nervous at chosing Allieds because I always thought of them as being akin to going to DFS for a sofa, or Dixons for electricals. I've used both in the past and the customer ...

I ordered a bed from bargainfurniture.net way back in May and cancelled the order 2 days later as I needed the bed in a hurry and they could not deliver for about 6 weeks. However it is now nearly November, and I am still waiting for a refund. I have rang the company several times, and it is always, yes your refund is being processed... I have ...

Feel free to skip the Critter's story to get to my discussion of filing cabinets in general. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Critter.. Fifteen years ago I went looking for spare parts for a tumble dryer. Eventually I found myself in a ramshackle repair shop on the edge of town. It was an old ...

The constant niggles about dooyoo not putting up new categories is getting on my nerves. If your fingers itch and you MUST write something, why not browse through the zillions of categories which have already been put up? Only recently 2 000 (two thousand) travel items have been included (the travel guides declare in lieu of an oath that they have ...

My family have recently had there front room decorated. We had already ordered a gorgeous 3 piece leather suite for the front room and we gave part of our old suite to my Aunty. But little did we know that disaster lay in our path....... The week began, and we had ordered our furniture from the Argos catalogue. It said that it would ...

Having seen an abundence of palettes at work and propped up against shops in London I thought Id share a few ideas for making use of the wood. At work the thought of a pallette is a few shoddy, well trodden pieces of wood banged together with nails and full of potential splinters. The first time I realised the potential for other uses was when a ...

Having recently moved house and being lucky enough to have a bit of equity, we decided to buy some new furniture when we moved instead of taking all the old knick-knacks with us. However, having the money to buy new stuff gave us a real dilemma! *What* to choose. These days there is such a wonderful array of furniture for every room in ...

Argos flat pack furniture has many advantages: it’s cheap, it isn’t vile or horrible looking and they’re usually fairly easy in terms of stock so you won’t be waiting ages for your desk to arrive. Also, because it’s flat packed it means you can pop down to your local Argos, buy a bookcase and hail a taxi to take you ...

I had been thinking of getting one of these wierd shaped chairs for about 3 years before I finally took the plunge and bought one. This was not originally because I had back problems, but because my work chair was so uncomfortable I couldn't bear to sit at my desk and work. I figured that if I had a comfy chair then I might actually do some ...

In the past, skilled craftsmen had a lot of time on their hands to make intricate carvings and beautiful designs on all of their works. These works of art were mainly furniture pieces such as beds, chairs, closets etc. These great pieces of art are rarely made these days, as time is precious, and quantity is gradually becoming more important than ...

Thank God there were two of us here when we tried to assemble this piece of furniture! I don't know who invented flat pack furniture, but he wants shooting. Anyway, as we needed a workstation at our new house rather than the massive old desk and funds were getting tight, we opted for a computer workstation from Argos. In pale wood ...

I LOVE LEATHER!!!(I go around markets sniffing the leather jackets!!) It cannot be environmentally unfriendly to appreciate the beauty of this most natural of all materials. I don't mean the cruel slaughtering of animals. I just mean using the skins of animals which have been bred specifically and killed humanely. I feel that this ...
