    Was out there the other day & lads I nearly died with the price :eek: Was looking for a single duvet cover set plus perhaps some throw cushions & was shocked at the prices. It was €50ish for the feckin cushion & €120ish for the duvet set!! Who actually buys stuff there is all I want to know?!

    No-one, as far as I can see;) The once I bothered to go out for a look, everyone was walking round muttering about the prices and not actually buying anything!

    You'd want to be loaded if you were to buy their cushions especially if you put as many pillows and cushions on your bed as they do on their display beds, 16 on one bed.

    they won't be in business long if they're charging outrageous prices like that, they'd want to cop on.

    If people are buying from there then I think it is because it is new. Wait for that to ware off. Personally I haven't stepped foot in there yet.

    The impression I alway had of them, taken mostly from their ads, is that of a cheap and cheerful type of company. Two steps into their showroom here and that impression was quickly dropped :eek:
