Good design for the price. Ikea works well if you are prepared to add in extra glue and screws and brackets. Saves on tradie costs. Shopping is not so much fun if you want to try and modify the average combinations. Our pieces have stood up reasonably well even though some are nearly 20 years old. We always have other ways of securing wall loads than the standard Ikea methods. A great resource for Melbourne

Good range and well laid out.. can be a bit grubby and crowded.. staff not so helpful compared to some Coles.. we go there due to being close to Ikea so it is convenient

Busy good range prices a bit high, carparking is awful, tidy, clean, friendly staff, long queues at peak, big deli but cramped, dont go on Saturday morning, open 24 hrs which is terrific.

Approximate cost: $bit high

Terrific explanations about plasma screens. We looked at Sony screen and he was able to do a really good price and knew all about the various models. The store has a huge range of movies and the Sony mini dv tape is remarkably affordable.

Good to go in the day. Don't ask!!!! Do your homework. Look at Whirlpool.com.au for computer issues and comparisons, Amazon product forums are also helpful. Price comparisons nearly always suggest that MSY is the cheapest, often by a lot. Buy what they have rather than trying to be brand loyal.. perhaps dont buy the very cheapest of things like CD's go for the next grade up it will only be slightly dearer. Their reduced brand range is part of why they are so competitive.
