This review is for IKEA, Rhodes NSW

It takes me a while to get around the whole store, but there are so many interesting things to look at. Many products I have not seen before, or I thought were so clever. I really like furniture design, and Ikea furniture is basic but interesting, especially the things that make the most of small spaces. There is a playground with childminding and a cafe too.

I have phoned ahead, or dropped off my list, and all my meat is sliced, chopped, etc and ready when I return to pick it up. Also good to drop in a get sausages or whatever we need after school pick up as you can park right out the front. They sell their meat through the IGA at Silverdale too.

It was easy to speak with the manager and find the books my husband was after. I found a number of different brochures and booklets which I have not seen anywhere else. They also have DVD courses available on a few different topics. You can order online and have the items posted which I have done quite successfully.

This is my local hardware store and it's unexpectedly cheap for a local store. Joe has an amazing array of stock, and can usually dig out what I ask for. I have purchased a backpack water sprayer, fluorescent globes, wall brackets, PVC pipe, wood, nails and watering can spouts from this store.

This store is so clean and well lit, it is a pleasure to walk the aisles and find all the things you usually buy cheaper. I have purchased deodorant, notebooks, toys, and snacks in this store. It is quite convenient to park outside if you need a bulky item.

This review is for Macarthur Uniforms, Leppington NSW

My daughter and I were pleased to find tailored school blouses and pants, much more attractive than the straight up and down versions found in Lowes. The ladies at Macarthur Uniforms measured my daughter, before advising on the best items for her school. They seem to place an emphasis on sourcing Australian made fabrics and wool for their items. A friendly home business.

I did not expect such a well run, organised shop in a small township like Warragamba. The volunteers who work here do a great job, and the shop is in a new building with a pleasant appearance. It's amazing what I've found here - from jeans to a bed head!

Helpful and knowledgeable mechanics, on time and reliable. They are very popular so you have to book in. The bushland surroundings make it a peaceful experience to visit a mechanic which is unusual!

With 2 enclosed play areas, a cafe and toilets in store, this is an easy place to shop with children. The kids can watch a DVD or listen to some CDs while I find what I need. The books are well presented and I often get good specials. The cafe is a bit expensive for meals (at least on a budget), but good for a cup of tea and a cookie for my pre schooler. I have ordered a book when it was not in store and it came in good time.

I liked the brightly lit store which is well laid out. An added bonus is that there is a public toilet in store (great for kids who need to go as soon as you get busy). There is even coffee and tea available in the photo kiosk area, and kids can sit at kids' sized tables to do colouring-in. They now have a lovely 'Philosophy' stationery range.
