Advantages: Good selection of household goods

Disadvantages: Fashion selection could be better for younger people

My local Boundary Mills store is in Shiremoor, Tyne and Wear.

Boundary Mills is a store which sells a variety of different products, ranging from plants, to household goods, to soaps and perfumes, to bags, shoes and clothes. The good thing about this store is that you can buy designer products at discounted prices. If you shop around in store you can usually find something worth buying at a reasonable price. Discounts are typically between 30 - 75% off the original price tag.

***Layout***

The store is extremely large, namely because it has such a vast variety of clothes and products in store. There appears to be little order as to where everything is, and there are no signs overhead to direct you to the right area. However, the store is usually neat and tidy, unlike some discount stores, whereby everything is in piles and slung everywhere (mmm, Primark springs to mind!!).

There is a huge clothing and accessories section instore. Whether you will find anything worth buying will depend on your style and perhaps your age. Personally, as a woman in my 20's, I don't tend to find many items of clothing that I would want to wear. However, I have friends and relatives who are 30's - 90's who often find things to wear which look good on them. Yet I do sometimes find myself looking at some of the clothing items and think ' who in God's name would wear that?!' - at which point some unsuspecting person will come along and put it in their trolley. But if you are prepared to have a look around - you will probably find something nice. The clothes and products are usually organised according to the designer, so it sometimes appears that there is little coordination.

I like this store because I get some great household products at reasonable prices. Last week I bought a duvet cover and pillowcases, reduced from £60 to £24. I also bought a chrome dustbin and bath mats. I'm not saying you will pay pennies for some of these products, but you will be able to buy them for a reasonable or reduced price. Most of the goods are good quality too. So if you want super cheap - go somewhere like Primark. If you want reasonable prices and good quality - go to Boundary Mills.

***Accessability***

I have an elderly relative in my family, and because of this I always try to find places and stores which are accessable for people in wheelchairs. I like Boundary Mills, because unlike some stores, you can generally get through the sections and aisles. Sometimes it's a bit of a squeeze, but I 've never not been able to get from A to B.

I also like the fact that the store has a selection of wheelchairs at the entrance, which is great for older people or those which struggle to walk far, but may not have their own wheelchairs.

***Restaurant***

There is a restaurant / cafe at the store - however this can be expensive and the selection is just average. Not great for a trip out, but maybe okay for a coffee if you fancy a rest in between searching for bargins.
