I have one a block and a half away, my upstairs neighbour volunteers there and we got a discount on our kitchen table.!!

They have some lovely stuff in at times just as well I only have a small flat !!

hfbinnie: thanks for link for the carpet place we were thinking of replacing ours in the summner as the one that came with the flat is showing quite alot of jute and any more rugs would just look silly !!!

You won't regret a visit. All carpets look new as they are professionaly washed and dried.
