The 30 Best Home goods store in Southampton

“Great place to learn music : I have been taught here for 9 years. The owner is passionate about art in general and I have learnt lots - about to do grade 8 next year. Would highly recommend for younger children as the lessons are made fun and interesting and are tailored to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy my time here very much and is perfect for anyone who’s interested in music and art.”

“Julie at the Hedge End store was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. We ended up buying a Tempur mattress and were very pleased with the service and welcome we received!”

“Sarah and katlyn are superstars Verry helpful and made sure I got everything in needed just what you want when doing a big order! Thank you again”

“This is the best shop! It's a joy to go into it. The staff are amazing, so knowledgeable, cheerful and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. If they haven't got it they try to order it. During the pandemic they set an example on how to adapt, it was flawless..... if only other shops could be like this!!!!”

“This was our second time at River Studios and won’t be our last. We were lucky enough to have Will and the Black Room both times and cannot recommend them highly enough! This time we spent an awesome afternoon with Will working on two tracks with our two mini guitarists ! He was so enthusiastic and fantastic with both children . Nothing is too much trouble and we came out all having had a fab time and with two great tracks - we will be back for sure! Thanks so much to Will as we all really enjoyed our mini concert and the time you spent teaching the kids how to get the most out of their guitars was so lovely to see . We will see you again soon ! Sharon, Will, Jessica & James”

“Fantastic service! Rang up and got delivery the same day! Such a lovely gent, great sense of humour and sent over all dimensions via text. What more could you want! 100% recommend”

“Amy updated my Stag bedside tables and chest of drawers for my recently decorated spare room as my son has recently moved out. I recently inherited them from my aunt and the chest of drawers belonged to my grandpa so 50 year old. They were dated but perfect condition,useful, well built and very practical. Much better than modern stuff. However they made the room look dated. Amy helped me find the best shade of grey to match my new wall paper.there was so much choice. She also have me a choice of handles. The furniture was away for a few weeks and just come back completely updated looks amazing and it has made to room look more modern. I also has a golden pine bedside table that I have had for 30 years. Amy updated it for me to use in my cloakroom it is now revitalised to give me years more use. All the furniture is unrecognisable. Thank you Amy.”

The quality of the coffin spray was amazing and they looked beautiful. In an addition to supplying the flowers,post funeral they where collected and turned in to small posies to be handed out to relatives Thank you ladies for your professionalism but also your compassion in our difficult time”

“I live in Australia and when I visited my 91 year old mum earlier this month I realised her very old TV'S were on the way out. My dilemma: to leave her confused and grappling with smart TV technology with me and nobody else close by to help her. People told me "don't worry, Adrian at George Fry Home Electrical will help your mum " - and they were 100% right! Professional guidance for personal TV choice from a deep well of knowledge with the best after-care anyone could hope for. Adrian, you deserve a medal for your kind patience and teaching skills, how you managed to get my mum using a smart TV is a miracle - thank you!”

“Really happy with my order, it arrived well packaged with no plastic. The shelves themselves are beautiful, such good quality at a fair price. Would highly recommend Southampton Wood Recycling”

“Quality, trust and care, every time. There is no point shopping for home tech anywhere else. This is what high street retail should be like. The team at RS always know what they’re talking about, never take you for granted and respect your time and interests whether you’re spending £100 or £10,000. That’s why I’ve been coming to RS across the country for 20 years, even though it’s 5 years at least between trips. Paul (who handled the majority of my detailed requests and testing of my record player) Mark, Thom - thank you (see you in 2030!)”

“In the past 3 months I have had an awkward leak investigated and repaired, new boiler, 3 new radiators and a partial bathroom refurbishment. All work carried out to high standard, tradesmen polite and professional, communication was excellent, and regular visits from Tom from planning stage to completion. Couldn’t be happier to have found this company and will definitely use again.”

“Leah was outstanding today with her product knowledge. She helped open the account for me showing helpfulness and excellent customer service. Will be a regular customer of this store.”

“Rima and the team at Dreams Southampton, have been amazing helping me. I tried the sleep machine to find the best mattress for me, and it was a perfect match for me! I’ve had excellent care and help when I’ve needed to change delivery dates and just phone to seek help. Thankyou so much, I’ll always come back to you”

“Debbie in the Cosmetic department was really helpful today in sourcing my foundation & having it sent to the store. Wonderful to have a real store with human help & not AI or faqs!”

“Great experience. Top offer, the chap who served us was really nice and the back office (customer/delivery team have been amazing”

“Visited the store today and was greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable gentleman. Even though I am not looking until next year, the salesman still spent time to explain my options and I felt no pressure. Will definitely be coming back in the new year as the choice is fantastic.”

“probably the friendliest branch in Hampshire, idk if I just popped in on a particularly pleasant day, but everyone seemed to be having a great time! it's always a boost when you've popped out to buy a replacement to something you just broke, and the chap behind the counter is cheery and helpful they gave me a few options of things to buy, one I could get immediately, or one I'd have to wait for as well as the knowledge the one with wait isn't in stock at nearby branches, lest I wanted to have a wee pootle in the van good experience, would recommend”

“Joann was absolutely lovely. I was looking for a children's dressing gown but there were none on the shop floor. She managed to source the very last one out the back, and chatted to my very eager toddler.”

“I have recently purchased a two seater settee from Bradbeers Mew Milton & have been very pleased with the excellent customer service provided by Michael,, Peter & the delivery staff. It was so refreshing to receive a straight price that was less than one of the big retailers but without the so called discounts which clearly are not discounts. I would highly recommend Bradbeers & would have no hesitation in using them again.”

“What a thoroughly helpful team who went out of their way to help me locate the Bathroom basin for my daughter’s home. The team arranged a swift transfer to the Southampton branch where I was able to pick it up on Easter Sunday - again, with a smiling and helpful assistant who cheerfully helped me load the rather large box into my car! An excellent team who gave me a first class service!!”

“Great store. Have been coming here for years and they offer the best range of art and craft supplies in the city at a affordable price. I would recommend.”

“I had an excellent experience thanks to Spencer. From the moment I approached him, he was friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. He went above and beyond to answer all my questions, gave clear advice, and made sure I found exactly what I needed. It’s rare to come across such outstanding customer service, and Spencer really made the whole process stress-free. A real credit to the team—thank you!”
