No Frills Sheffield
Very cheap, which is ideal if you just want a pack of screws or some bedding plants. Totally central location for us here in Sheffield, which means you can drop in after paying your council tax or something else equally taxing!
There are items such as lightbulbs which are cheaper than most places, especially some of the more unusual bulbs and variances of wattage. This would apply to lining paper, most outdoor goods, swing seats and interior fittings such as plugs and lightswitches.
Though useful at times I rarely find anything I want in here, the selection is very different to other DIY stores.
The pine is the cheap stuff sold off by catalogue companies in bedroom groups for under £100.
The paint selection seems lacking, the wallpaper collection was last updated in about 1992 in my opinion and the lighting department last restocked circa 1979.
It's probably ideal if you are looking to redesign your house to suit the 80's revival, but far from ideal if you are looking for a very classy or very modern look.

Summary: Good for some items but only the basics
