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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
