   $500 for a 2seater and 3 seater couch scratched up by cats. - - -Prices in this store have gotten way out of hand. More couch sets in store starting from $500 and up. Mostly around $600 mark. Prices are almost on par with New Shops and SaveMart. Late in opening the store, store is still a mess at the back. No update on their site for the late night opening store hours. ____________________________________________________________ Back of the shop is bare. Frequently late when opening. Watched over 3 weeks as they tried to clean back of the store. Really needs a better manager. You'll see someone put 1 or few items on the shelf, then leave, even though the back needs a cleanup. New Lynn sallies has been run to the ground. Barely any furniture. Crammed it in the front of the shop. Worse state I have ever seen this sĥop in. One of it's first customers when it opened. _____________________________ UPDATE:- Sadly, the shop has become overpriced. I used to be a regular, but its become too expensive to shop there now. Boutique pricing. No longer a “Family Store”. Doesn’t cater to families, more young adult store now with overpriced items. CLOTHES/SHOES-Main Focus has changed to Yuppie/Young adult fashions with a price tag to match. Clothes are sorted by color not by size, so you need to set aside a lot of time to go through the racks to find your size. Clothing overpriced, might as well go to Savemart 5 min away. - CUTLERY/CROCKERY/KITHCENWARE- Overpriced, extremely low stock. Cheaper to buy plates at kmart or the warehouse. - CHILDRENS CLOTHES/SHOES:- Almost non existent. Little to no stock. - FURNITURE:- Always furniture here, but pricing has increased threefold. - LINEN- Plenty of linen here. Only place where you can dig to try and find a bargain. - BRIC BRAC- Low stock, still overpriced. - Clothing Color code system is terrible. Have to search through every single rack to find your size. Girl behind the counter says if someone wants a black top, they just need to go to the black color section, misses the point why their is a size section not everyone is retired or unemployed to take the time to search through all the racks. This store doesn’t cater for families with children. Pots are almost never instore, when their is dishes, its too expensive, the average price $2 a plate, cheaper to buy at kmart or the warehouse. Going in all you see is clothing racks with few shelves stocked with what little bric brac they have. They have sorted stock to the point that bargains are a hard find now. Definitely been commercialized. --------------------------OLD REVIEW BELOW----------------------- This store is so addictive. Hard to walk out with nothing. Lots of goodies in store. Good variety of everything. Better known for furniture. Boy....it flies out of the shop fast. Great staff. Friendly and do such a great job. Well done team New Lynn.

   A great place to visit and shopping. Young lady is absolutely bubbly,friendly and absolutely knows her job.The other hand,elderly lady wasn't friendly at all and it's not nice to be served by someone not friendly at the front desk.[multiple times] Still 5 stars,not giving them lower stars just cause a person making a team down.

   I've donated many good stuffs to this shop. Everytime friendly staff said thanks to me for the donation. Until that day , the middle-age lady blaming me taking back the bag that I used for the donation. She asked me must bring a bag with the donation or they are not taking them.(I took back the bag coz I need to use it to bring more.) She was just lazy to bring the things from the donation desk to the inside warehouse. And her attitude was so rude.

   The store has some great collection of refurbished furnitures at a good price. They also have cloths that are just $4 (Shirts and trousers) a good shoe and cutlery section. The staff is very helpful and friendly too. If you find a good stuff here it is definitely worth taking helping you save some extra bucks.
