EXCELLENT Based on 230 reviews Posted on Joanne BlairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place, the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" and you can definitely find some treasures in this place. Love that they advertise on Facebook and you can phone to reserve an item. Also love that they have a loyalty card and it gets stamped and you get £5 off when you get your 10th stamp. Staff really friendly, definitely worth a visit!Posted on Kerry-Jane WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely staff. Dog friendly.

Excellent to pick up bargainsPosted on Lawrie ThomsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Be very careful of this place as it allows dogs in so anyone with an allergy to dogs (myself being an asthmatic) or anyone who is scared of dogs stay clear but apart from that it's OK for picking up stuff you need for your house etc. This place has also been selling broken and damaged goods as well as fakes, when saying to certain staff members they say that they have all been checked. So be awarePosted on Paul ElliottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent stock and prices
