“Super helpful staff great selection of hardware, garden goods and more. A bit busy on a Saturday but there was even a sausage sizzle on the go - what could be more Kiwi?”

“Vicky was so kind and helpful. Absolutely loved this place. Will be getting more furniture here as it is so afford and quick! :) thank you guys!”

“We purchased dining chairs from Backhouse a few years ago and they have been a stunning and practical addition to our home, one that we enjoy every day. Always wonderful to look around Backhouse and now they have an amazing new showroom and location in Allen Street, off Courtney Place. Even better!”

“Beautiful store with pleasant friendly staff”

“#bargain 5 dollar toilet brush absolute legend great service”

“Great for trades people. Looks like this is where their focus is. Very neat and clean in the store. The staff are friendly and they can help with advice, if you need it.”

“Spent a while in here looking for options to cover the floor in the garage to convert to a home gym. Plenty of options were presented with pro's and cons. Range of pricing also discussed when discussing options fit for purpose. The staff member who served me was interested in helping come up with a solution. Easy access and parking, I went in early Saturday morning.”

“We couldn't be more thrilled with our kitchen remodel! A huge thank you to Fiona, the designer, for her incredible work. From the start, she truly listened to our needs and created a design that was both functional and family-friendly. Every cupboard and drawer was thoughtfully planned with purpose, ensuring we had everything we needed without wasting space. Fiona also managed to keep my desk/computer area and dining table in the design—without sacrificing the flow of the kitchen. In a small villa with a family of 4, this was so important! While a huge kitchen would have looked amazing, Fiona understood that it wouldn't have been practical for our lifestyle. The kitchen is truly now the heart of our home. The sit-around bench means we are always gathered there—for meals, kids' art, and cups of coffee with friends. We just love it! The service was also quick and efficient, with our first meeting scheduled just a week after calling in August, and the remodel completed by early December. We highly recommend Fiona and the team for any remodel projects!”

“I was shopping for my little cousin for Christmas and I was helped out by a lovely staff member his name was Oscar, I didn’t end up buying anything but now I’ll know for next time I come in. I’ll definitely be coming back! Such a friendly guy thank you!!”

“One of my favorite thrift stores in Christchurch. They have a great selection of lots of things, especially larger items that other thrift stores might not have the space for. There are some clothes, but it's not as clothes-centric as other places.”

“Great shop to come and get something a little bit different for the house and it comes with amazing customer service. I loved the selection of cushions and throws on offer. I was offered APRO too which I had never heard of before and was a fantastic suggestion. It enabled me to go home and check the colours all coordinated. They didn't have everything I wanted in store but offered to order it in and I was given their sale discount on the entire order. I was given an estimated ETA and so hopefully in 2 weeks my living room will have some new life breathed into it. There is a nice selection of gifts and cards too and I often find something appropriate here for my friends/family. I also love that it's attached to a cafe. It was too busy today for me to wait and place my order and in hindsight, I should have checked the queue first and ordered my coffee before wandering around the homeware store to cut down on the wait time.”

“Ian was great thanks mate, He was polite and not pushy at all also was quite funny aswell.update: delivered in less than 24 hours, I’m stoked and my kids are aswell thank you guys, especially as it’s the 23rd of December appreciate it a lot.”

“Great service no problem sourcing stock not normally held with very reasonable prices”

“Very helpful. Thanks guys. Pete. Home n Hosed”

“I came in for a few things and noticed this display while i was in there, very informative about all the different products on offer. Will definitely be back to grab some when it's nicer weather again!”

“My partner and I went to Resene Paints in Shirley on Saturday to buy paint for our bathroom reno. After a couple of minutes browsing we were greeted by Kirsty who helped us with our colour selection and gave us options to help us decide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable that we felt confident in our choices, and will certainly be recommending and returning to Resene Shirley next time we need paint.”

“What a nice couple to deal with. I went in with a query for a ride-on mower and possible tractor hire. Super helpful and will be hiring them shortly”

“On Thursday I came in farmers and I want to buy hair straightener and a girl came Renuka . She approached me in a very decent way . And must say she should be in beauty. Because she told me about make up how to hide under eye circle and it worked for me I tried two days . She is best adviser in makeup products. Renuka I will see you soon for new products.”

“Heathcotes has a great range of products, and their in-store service and support is superb. Jayden from Heathcotes Hamilton Central has helped me with several purchases over the last 18 months and every interaction I have had with him has been positive. He has amazing product knowledge and really listens to what I am looking for in a product before making a recommendation. Keep up the good work, and thank you for all of your help setting up our kitchen!”

“Great place to buy good quality second hand furniture. The staff are informative, friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. Have bought a washing machine, fridge and lounge all at separate times and they are still all in good working condition. They offer delivery for $50, and he took our item into our house which was very handy. Won't go anywhere else”

“I recently purchased a mattress from Lifestyle Furniture and had a great experience! The staff were very friendly, patient, and helped me choose the right mattress for my needs. The quality is excellent and delivery was on time. Really happy with the service and would definitely recommend Lifestyle Furniture to others”

“Steve is awesome from the get go helping my with choosing the right frame and mat to enhance my artwork. The result was outstanding and was delivered earlier than expected in a very high quality service. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. I highly recommend SPH to those looking for a great service and high quality frames.”

“Initially just rang up the Hamilton branch to see if they had stock of a large pendant we wanted and ended up getting a different light all together. Talked with Mark who was one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever dealt with while purchasing anything, and he ran us through a more appropriate choice for our ceiling height. Really happy with the light as well. Highly recommended.”

“Was served by a young chap. Patient and made sure all my questions were answered. Store was clean and well organised. Awesome team”

“I went into this store today with a friend to simply browse. My experience was far more than I expected as I had been in the store once before. I found myself looking at the gorgeous jewellery that they have. The lady assistant was an absolute treasure. Her engaging smile, fantastic humour and her ability to allow me to try the rings on was wonderful. I was so tempted to purchase but had promised the funds to a friend in need otherwise I would have come home with the ring. Thank you so much for making me feel a million dollars and being so delightful and attentive. Absolutely fantastic customer service experience.”

“Lovely experience! Truly some wonderful stuff especially if you love unique items, picked up some garnet earrings and will happily make a trip back to visit.”

“This shop saved me from going all the way to Tauranga for white goods at my new place. Good selection of basic appliances at reasonable prices. Staff was really friendly and helpful.”
