Advantages: A lovely store if you have time on your hands and the will to mooch
Disadvantages: can be a muddle
I have to admit in loving this shop and its quirkyness.
It seems like any other store on the outside but once inside the doors it is a completely different picture.
I am timewarped back into the pre market days of little stands of stalls with different bits of this and that all around.
What I found inside my shop was line after line of varied clothing, then items for the house, just inside the door were christmas bits and bobs and gifts ideas for every conceivable occasion. Then further back into the store were line after line of shoes. Lines of Linen and bedding, then over to the right were household items like pans mirrors lamps vases, kitchen bits, quirky items you would not expect to see. Then there were childrens toys and cushions and all manner of other things. It is a veritable aladins cave and I loved it!
I spent hours inside mooching and I do love to mooch, around the different sections, almost forgetting what I went inside for in the first place.
I was wanting a pair of trousers for my son for work and luckily found a pair eventually in the lines of clothing, which I have to say were not particularly in any kind of order, so it was a bit of a turkey shoot as to where things were and for which sex they were for, but we found a pair and they fitted him well.
Then we went round the shoe lines and found not one but three pairs of shoes, which fit both my husband and my son. A big surprise and the prices were my kind of prices cheap.
At £29.95 for a real pair of DMS and the same price and below for the two pairs of skater shoes for my son I was well impressed.
I noticed that the gift ideas were excellent too and were worth another visit later on to see what I could get for christmas.
I liked this shop a lot despite its kind of muddled appearance and think I would go back again.
My advice is not to use your credit card here though as they have had some bad press on credit card fraud in the past. I do not know if it was deserved or whether the people concerned were just plain unlucky but I always give cash in this store just incase.
Summary: I loved this store and liked the slightly unpredictability of its layout.
