When it comes to shopping in Stockport, the reason it has become one of the North West's most popular shopping destinations is down to the varied town centre and huge selection at the shopping centres. With a combination of places to shop and eat Stockport can be a great place for a bit of retail therapy. Shopping for furniture should be a breeze with such a huge selection of furniture stores in the area.
The Merseyway shopping centre features some of the larger department stores each with their own furniture department. Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, BHS and Argos are all located in the centre so all can be visited in the one trip. These stores generally offer all types of furniture and furnishings for the home so a room could be completed all under one roof. They do not particularity specialise in the making of furniture so it is unlikely that a unique piece would be found here.
The Peel centre in Stockport features the likes of Oak Furniture Land, SCS, Dunelm and Land of Leather. These are more specialist furniture retailers rather than department stores with a furniture department. Oak Furniture Land offers a huge selection of solid wood furniture varying in types of wood, design and colour so if wooden furniture is required this is the perfect place to start. SCS and Land of Leather both specialise in upholstery and sofas, so if it is just a new sofa that is needed this is the ideal location to shop.
Other furniture retailers dotted around the Stockport area are the Stockport Furniture Company, Brays Furniture, Allwood Furniture and for a more bespoke service there is The Cabinetmakers' Workshop. Each of these is again associated with wooden furniture rather than a complete interior design retail experience. For a bespoke kitchen or individual piece the Cabinetmakers Workshop are a rare find as they can make furniture for you from your own designs. This is something that can be difficult to find in these tough economic times and if the budget stretches a little further can be ideal for purchasing a unique piece for the home.
If visiting and looking to buy furniture in Stockport it is worth knowing that it is surrounded by countryside including walking trails and river valleys. As the shopping centres are located near to these, a gentle stroll could be combined with the shopping trip to make the most of a family day out and keep all members of the family happy.
