Where to buy furniture

[ste and cheryl]

I've heard that bed sizes in Australia are different to UK, someone told me that a queen size in oz is the same as a king size here in the UK.

I am confused ! Is this right?

we when to good guys for electricals in mile end which were brill and bought a to sofas and a chair from nick scali that was over priced but was the only one we agreed on!! they also exchanged it with no fuss cos I complained about the quaility on delivery they ordered a new set for us and we used the old one till it arrived much happer with the new suite but still think nick scali are expencive there you go we shopped and filled a house in less than a week it put me off shopping for months!!!

.....k it put me off shopping for months!!!

That made me laugh - I so remember the feeling! When we were looking for a lounge suite (we ended up getting ours from Nick Scali too funnily enough and have had no probs with it) I lost count of the number of bloomin' sofas I sat on! Had to keep a notebook in the end as otherwise I'd forget where I'd seen what!

Shopping (for furniture) is hugely overrated as a pastime, in my opinion!! Nice once it's sorted though...

why not do an online price comparison? for example www.twenga.com I love this website, I find everything I look for.
You can see the pictures and the prices too, wouldn't be fair to buy expensive products knowing that it costs less elsewhere

Early Settler on Grote Street - nice furniture and not bad prices.

I would try to avoid Freedom, Hecktorville, its a new store and the lead times for delivery is anything between 3-9 wks, although they told us 1-2 wks on some stuff but never arrived.....dont think much of the quality of it either ...... Harvey Norman your best bet.....

[Chelseadownunder]

Harvey Norman are good. You have to Haggle and try different Harvey Normans as they vary regarding how much they will give you off. Noarlunga store is good. We have learnt that you have to get use to Haggling. They will knock of $100s
Good Luck

The best way to haggle in my opinion is to stand slightly too close to the sales assistant and not say anything at all when they mention prices. Sometimes they get all anxious as they don't like awkward silences and start dropping the price. I just got $80 off a car radio doing this exact tactic!

Super A Mart and Fantastic furniture are good prices but shockingly poor quality! Do you really want to be buying it all again in a few years? I went there looking for entertainment units - the drawers on them would collapse if full with dvds etc. You do get what you pay for.

There is a lovely place in Lonsdale called In Furniture. They can be pricey (but no more so than Harvey Norman etc) and can custom make furniture to your specs or you can buy their standard designs. They are excellent quality.

I bought outside furniture from Early Settler and that was a great price compared to other stores. Good furniture is hard to come by it seems....
