Serious Furniture for Fun People

Kim Booth from The Best Furniture Shop

We’re local, we’re friendly and we’re here to provide the best possible products and service!

We have the latest offerings in everything you could imagine, and a huge space! Recently, a large selection of new mattresses arrived at the Brighton Mall showroom. If you thought getting a new, super snugly warm mattress was going to cost the earth, think again! Our single inner-sprung mattresses start at $99.

Surrounding them are a variety of the latest Steiner chairs, heavy wooden drawers, industrial and rustic tables and minimalist items in the Scandinavian style. Subtle hues and bursts of colour reflect global trends and boutique tastes.

“Our whole philosophy is to keep overheads down so people can get the same items that are in a higher-end store, but cheaper.

Come in and enjoy... you’ll be so glad you did.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)

Those tips on how to manage your money

Paul from Coalgate - Glentunnel

It annoys a lot. I just did a bank quiz on financial well-being. The main problem is with that is they don't account for being on a pension, which supposedly accounts for extra disability costs. What comes in never quite meets what goes out. That unpaid week until next payday is quite a stretch sometimes. My home is paid for, but those bills I must meet, rates, insurances, power, and internet costs keep going up. I just discovered my phone is an expensive rip-off, a clone or copy of an S24Ultra, with no comeback now, so I either put up with it or lash out $600 or more on another, sheheit! BTW, I got a pretty good score on that quiz. The only extra bit of money I make is a little interest, but the IRS taxes the hell out of that.
