enragedlamb Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm trying to find some decent second hand furniture shops in the Newcaslte/Gateshead area. Looked at a few but they are all full of tat. In other areas of the country (Bolton, Bridgwater) I've always managed to get some really nice solid wood furniture at bargain prices but oop north it just doesn't seem to exist. Any tips on where to go? Being a frugal bunch I'm hoping you can give me local knowledge otherwise it's off to Ikea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepista Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 http://newcastle.gumtree.com/ There's a couple of really good charity shops in Stockton-on-tees (a little far, I know) that specialise in furniture - you can get some really good bargains in there, as long as you aren't looking for trendy.

Debbie568 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 How about skipping the furniture shops and buying at an auction instead? That's where a lot of those second hand shops source their furniture. Try Millers - www.millersauctioneers.co.uk. They are in Byker, just north of the river. There's also Boldens. They are on the south side of the river, a few miles east of Gateshead. They alternate their auctions, so sometimes fine art/antiques and other times general household goods. They're not bad for furniture - they're worth a look, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Rogers Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just a suggestion, don't limit what you can have especially online services and purchases. You can visit a lot of store/retailers online who can provide you good quality furniture products as well as good deals and prices.
