Reid and Leather is a firm favourite with those of a certain age. It seems to draw everyone who is ‘settled’, as in just moved in couples, newly weds or long term live in partners who in a spring clean decide on a new sofa. The store on the Boucher Road is very busy as it is jam packed with sofas, living room furniture and dinning table sets. The designs range from traditional to overtly modern to suit everyone’s taste. What I like about this store in particular is the fact they have set up scenes so you can imagine what a specific sofa would look like in a living room setting. This is great in terms of allowing you to design your own room with details such a s space, lay out and presentation. Just be aware that the sofa sales people are sometimes a little pushy especially on big discount days. Whether they are working on commission or just target selling, if you’re not prepared, you could end up coming home with one sofa too many.

Well my Mum and Dad swear by Reid(just as my mum swears by Matalan and a bunch of other rubbish shops that have no interest to me). Yet for once we finally agree on this. They went to this particular branch of Reid around lunch time to price a new suite of furniture. Upon entering this huge warehouse, we wandered around for a few minutes, looking at lots of pretty things that were very expensive. Setting their sights on what I am reliably informed to be «some nice pieces of furniture»(I was always more of a Ground Force man than a Changing Rooms man so it is all the same to me) we looked around for a member of staff. Now this store is rather big I’ll admit, but we walked around looking for someone and found nobody. Not a notion where everyone had taken off to. If there was some sort of fire or a party or if they were giving out free biscuits, we were not told. After waiting for an exceptionally long two minutes, my father expressed his dismay using a number of expletives which I would have been embarrassed if anyone had heard, but I soon was reminded during the expletives that there was nobody around to help us. Thus making our trip to Reid almost a total waste of time! On the way out, we did see a nice member of staff who seemed to be guarding the door incase it was to fall over. They asked us if we needed any assistance. My Dad simply reminded him of the same point he had made a few seconds earlier. Very disappointing
