T. K.
Me and all my family love to shopping here. High quality beautiful and unique design. you get a very good deal when is on sale or in the out let section plenty of parking space
Very clean place, helpful and friendly staff

I recently purchased wardrobes from Housing Units. Having them delivered and fitted was included in the price. We are so happy with the finished product, thank you to Ben who did this for us. After a little blip of a missing plug my wardrobes look as amazing as they do in the Shop. A huge thank you to Kelly who sorted the missing item. I really appreciated the phone calls
p. h.
Ordered a Sofa,armchair in June 2021. It took till 26th January 2022 to be delivered, OK covid delays I can understand. But a certain office person give me wrong information re delivery in September, I wasn't happy with her . Move on to Victoria who brought me update and she was so good and I got my goods. A thank you to Anne the sales person I ordered with was lovely. And delivery guys and I love my sofa and chair @@

Best place for quality furniture's for home.
All my home furniture's are from this place.
Just refurbished my home again and ordered furniture again.
Only thing this time is the delivery date keeps delaying.
I dont think they are to be blamed as the manufacturer's are delaying.
All to do with Brexit i guess!!
Would recommend this place hands down..
You might pay more but cant beat them on quality.
P. M.
We bought a fireplace in 2010 from Tracey and we were extremely happy with the service, nothing was too much trouble. We have since moved house and we are very pleased that Tracey is still working for Housing Units and is currently helping us choose our new one. Thanks Tracey, Barry, Lynne & Phoebe

Take delivery or pick up dates with a pinch of salt. Be prepared to be fobbed off with excuses about warehouse staff etc etc . If you do this the items are generally of good quality and reasonably priced. Staff on the shop floor are helpful and it’s after you pay the issues begin.

I enjoy shopping at housing units! There's a huge variety of household items,gifts,and more which are situated over a few different buildings & departments, all are wheelchair and pushchair friendly and there free parking. I do love a bargain though, so I tend to shop here more in the sales. The majority of staff give excellent customer service. I especially like the Coo Chi Coo store, the nursery packages that are available are stunning, very affordable & came with some great extras, Michelle the assistant also gave me advice on payment options,delivery & product insurance, she was very helpful.
A. Q.
I personally cannot fault the service I've received from order to delivery its been seamless, friendly staff and delivery drivers. I added two more chairs to my order some months later and picked them up from the warehouse directly, again friendly and efficient, thank you!
J. P.
We have recently purchased some clearance furniture from this company and what can I say, outstanding product at an amazing price and the guys who delivered the furniture (Lee and David) were so professional from start to finish, they took extreme care when delivering it and positioning the items in our lovely home, they made the experience all the more positive, thank you Housing Units! We will definitely be repeat customers.
A. R.
Amazing customer service. Replied to a problem I had with a delivered item and immediately arranged a refund. It is risky buying things on line. I was attracted to this company as the product was much cheaper than other places. Sometimes cheaper companies have horrendous customer service and you can lose your money if you have a problem. However Housing Units were faultless. I would certainly order from them again.
T. U. C. M.
Very nice place with nice beds and wall art will use them in the future for our hotel

Ordered a table over 4 months ago and initially service seemed good. Delivery company were excellent and kindly held it for us while our extension was finished. Table arrived last week and the glass top (cost £2000) is damaged. It was very poorly packaged and the polystyrene crumbled completely around it. There is no way we can use it as it is in thousands of pieces. They are not willing (or able) to replace it and have asked us to return it in the damaged packaging. I do not feel this is safe to do as the table is extremely heavy (took 4 men to lift it) and could cause injury incorrectly packaged. A piece of cardboard around a 2.4 x 1 metre piece of glass is just not safe! I don't think the courier will consider allowing their staff to collect it not being in protective packaging. THEY NOW WANT A PHOTO OF IT CORRECTLY PACKAGED IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING THAT HAS DISINTERGRATED. They have offered £100 but this goes no where near the cost to replace the glass. Love the table, courier was great but so disappointed with housing units. £2000 wasted!!
Following this review, I was able to speak to Housing Units and the matter was resolved. I was given £250 towards replacing the faulty glass which I accepted as we want the table (which is now unavailable). Thank you for resolving this matter

Finally my Rattan Lagos Garden furniture arrived today. I ordered the garden furniture in November 2020. It has been worth the wait. It looks amazing on the decking area in the garden. Absolutely thrilled with it. The delivery guys were great. They took all the boxes away so we had very little to dispose of. Great job guys. Lesley Cooper

My daughter bought me a standard light for xmas which I love ,but everytime l switcht it on I have to twiddle with the plug to light it which can be frustrating, any suggestions please
R. D.
The furniture is always very high quality and built to last. My wife and I have pretty much furnished our entire home with HU. Staff are always very friendly and professional.
p. f.
Ordered garden furniture, was told 11 week delivery, 11 weeks later the most amazing garden furniture now in place in my garden. Spoke to housing units with a query, they were very good sorting out the right size cover to protect it and sent it by separate delivery. Lovely people to deal with.
D. J.
Excellent well managed with helpful and knowledgeable staff. Quality products from thus long established store.
Plenty of parking but no Slabcake.

Ready for Christmas in August / September. Lots of interesting things, very spacious and helpful staff, easy parking and very Covid aware.
L. F. M.
As a specialist Karndean fitter we appreciate Housing Units stocking luxury flooring. When sending our customers they always get dealt with brilliantly. Thank guys for recommending us too.
D. o.
As mentioned in previous reviews, their website ordering process can, and does go faulty. Got accepted for finance and paid deposit for garden furniture. When I tried to complete the order, the website went to a 404 error and every attempt after was the same. It was good Friday morning so had to wait until Tuesday to contact customer service. After about half an hour it was sorted out, but was a bit annoying that I had to wait a few days to see if my order was OK, considering we found other furniture that was cheaper with a quicker delivery time elsewhere.
S. E.
Ordered a dining table delivered within projected time. 5 week wait customer service was excellent. Call from delivery guys on the confirm delivery and when they were within 30 min from my home. Deliveredl to desired room. Item stunning very happy with my purchase.
S. M.
The table I ordered just arrived and I am so happy with the product. Really good quality and the delivery drivers were genuinely lovely - they carried it upstairs into the room of my choice and set up so quickly. I would have to say the only negative is the 14 week wait from order to delivery however I suspect a big factor in this is Covid and now I do have the item, it was worth waiting for :)
j. h.
Set over 2 plots with a large free car park. Selling high quality furniture/household items on 2 floors. Lift to first floor. 2 cafes serving a good selection of food/drink, toilets. Went on this occasion to see the Xmas department which is lovely as usual. Well worth a visit.
Z. G.
Really disappointed, I placed an order for a bin because it said delivery 5 to 10 days. When I paid it then told me 12 weeks!!!! Still waiting patiently, I hope it's worth it. I will give 5 stars if it is. At the end of the day, I'm sure this company like many are having trouble with timescales because of this dreaded covid, so me giving 1 star probably isn't fair, but as I've not got my goods yet 1 star for now but watch this space, WHEN I get my goods I'll up date it accordingly.
Update: I had a lovely lady contact me, helped me select and order a different product which I'm happy with. Friendly and professional. I know the covid has caused alot of logistical problems and stock is an issue, we all have to give retail a break. I will be more than happy to deal with Housing Units as long as I get my goods.
R. D.
Bought a Dualit Kettle ,Very competitive on price and next day delivery, would recommend and certainly use again.
W. D.
Shout out to the guys at the pick up depot, really friendly and very helpful today, feared the worst when they gave us a wry smile when we arrived but we got it in two cars with their help, top marks lads

I bought a sofa, and when it arrived it did not fit though the door, it was returned to the warehouse.
I spoke to customer services, and they had staff look at this in the warehouse and discovered arms of the sofa's could be removed. Then someone came out to the property and measured and up and said it would now fit though the doors. it was delivered and the arms were reattached by the delivery staff.
I don't believe if I had ordered from a large business the service would have been as personal and the issue resolved with a positive outcome .
I would defiantly recommend Housing Units and would buy from them again
S.
Visited on Saturday 17/04. Came to buy a rug and James made us have the best experience. Very professional and friendly. Thanks so much James! It really makes a difference when you get amazing customer service.
P. L.
I ordered some Christmas Lights and they arrived rapidly. Unfortunately, they were the wrong ones, I contacted Customer Services and they were great. I returned them and received my refund in very quick time. I found them an excellent and professional company to deal with.
S. G.
From Tracy in store all the way through to Lee and Chris on delivery, absolutely brilliant service. Thank you. We love the new furniture.
D. S.
Great selection furniture, lighting and gifts leicened restaurant and cafe well worth a visit. Just had a new suite looks great and top quality, the 2 guy's that delivered it were fantastic, nothing to much trouble for them. Didn't think it was going to fit in my house but they took the arm off the sofa and removed my front door to get it in .A big thank you.
E. S.
At a time when it has been difficult to get through to most companies on the phone I've literally been blown away by the top notch customer service from this company. I sent them an email about a minor issue with an item I had purchased online, within 2 hours a very friendly staff member called to rectify the problem and more than compensated for the slight problem. To date I've bought dining chairs and a chandelier online and I am delighted by the quality of the goods. I intend to make a trip to Manchester (3 hours away) soon to visit the store in person and check out their sofas. I literally don't want to buy from another homeware store ever again at this point!! I cannot recommend Housing Units highly enough (especially their customer service), one request - please open more stores around the country!!!
M. M.
I have had a fantastic experience whilst purchasing all the furniture for my new home. Karl at HU made it an effortlessly smooth process. He was extremely understanding and helped to overcome any obstacles along the way. Karl you are a great asset to the team at HU and I appreciate everything you have done for our family. Thank you again and stay safe. I’m sure that our paths will cross again soon in the near future. many thanks, Dee.
E. D.
Worth the wait. Ordered 2 2 seater settees. Wait was around 16 weeks but under current restrictions understandable. Great service from everyone we encountered. Settees super comfy. Delivery guys where great and adhered to all Covid restrictions. Great store. Thanks guys.

We used Housing Units to completely fit out a new apartment my company had purchased in Manchester city centre. The team were extremely helpful in helping us to choose everything from the furniture through to bedding, kitchen equipment etc. They then delivered everything and fitted out the apartment for us. Every item purchased was of the highest quality and our apartment is now beautifully furnished and equipped. Housing Units are known for their super quality products and the team were just brilliant!
A. S.
Only giving 5 stars because you can’t give 6! Phenomenal customer service when we ordered our new bed and mattress, thank you to Janet for looking after us! Great advice on which product would suit our needs and quick delivery to boot!
A. F.
The service was superb from start to finish when we ordered a leather suite and a tv unit. The assistants were helpful when we were making the purchases and we kept informed about delivery dates . The delivery men were very obliging and customer service very helpful with setting everything up to our satisfaction- sending a consultant out to overcome a slight issue . Couldn’t ask for better service.
S. S.
Lovely furniture very traditional furniture shop with a cafe and restaurant. Lovely to see older people visiting this shop.
C. P.
Had a mix up with an order and the team rectified it and had my item re-delivered with 48 hours.

Had a wonderful experience in Housing Units recently. They have some excellent festive displays. I felt welcomed from the start of my visit as I was greeted by the doormen on my way in. I had a good look round the emporium where it was obviously busy but staff were happy to help when they became available. I also looked round the home furnishing store where there were a few more staff members available. Again these were polite, knowledgeable about the products and I felt that they genuinely wanted to help. Overall I would definitely visit Housing Units again, service was good and products all appeared to be of a high quality.
J.
This was my first time visiting Housing Units. What a fantastic place to shop! A wide range of sections to visit from furniture to baby clothes, art to lighting. Plenty of parking and a really nice cafe. I was really impressed when the door was opened for me by a man in a smart uniform. A visit here is highly recommended.
A. M.
Blown away by the amazing service! I ordered an item online on Friday, which arrived Sunday lunchtime. Unfortunately, it was faulty, so I phoned customer service straight away, and arranged a replacement. The new item arrived at 08.15 on Monday morning! Phenominal! Thank you.
A. A.
I have bought several items from Housing Units over the years, both small and large, but my recent purchase of a new bathroom suite surpassed all my expectations. The whole process from start to finish was a delight. The product knowledge of the staff was remarkable and I cannot fault the after sales service which was second to none. Every visit to the store is a lovely experience for myself and my family and friends. We are always greeted by staff who are friendly without being pushy. There is always someone available to help or answer a question and even if we are simply browsing, we are always made to feel that our presence in the store is valued. I hope Housing Units continues to achieve the many accolades and positive reviews which they deserve.
J. S.
We had our suite delivered this morning the whole process was easy staff friendly and knowledgeable no hard sell gave us the information we needed and left us to make our decision.
The guys who delivered our suite were polite and professional nothing was too much trouble and they clearly take pride in what they do well done housing units
R. A.
I recently visited Housing Units, I was pleasantly surprised by the way the staff made me feel, I was welcomed and made to feel like a valued customer.
The Christmas department was stunning - definitely worth a trip just for that!
The range they have is very good, some items value for money and some at the higher end.
Everything looks good quality.
Cannot wait to visit again.
K. B.
I visited Housing Units for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Not only we're all the staff extremely helpful, I didn't feel as though I was being chased around the furniture department for a sale. The sales assistant that helped me was particularly knowledgeable and there was a huge selection within the particular department.
Housing Units have a loyalty scheme which keeps you updated on their sales which I think is a good idea. I would definitely recommend this store as you're allowed to shop in peace but with the knowledge that staff are extremely helpful even if you aren't buying on the day.
Will be going back in the near future as this is a lovely place to shop.
D. C.
Such a great place to see quality items that are always a bit different. Great value and even if you aren't particularly looking for something it's a lovely shopping experience with beautiful things and really helpful staff. I never come away without having bought something !
Bought my new suite there last Autumn and was delighted with whole experience.
Plenty of free parking, two good cafes!
R. E. m.
I can't thank Anne enough at HU
Her customer service was above and beyond what i expected .
She really helped me achieve a special gift for a dear friend. I contacted her from Perth Australia and all my hope for this gift was certainly accomplished
Thankyou Anne from the bottom of my heart

I went to Housing Units, yesterday and it is a long time since I have been into a store, where everyone smiled and spoke to you. The staff were very helpful, and couldn't do enough for you. I was looking for a bedspread which they opened out for me to see, then when I said I would have it, went to the store room and brought another one out all neatly packaged, then left it at the cash desk until I had finished shopping. The store is easy to find, with large free car parks, restaurant, toilets etc. This was my second visit and will definitely be going back. Also a 28 days return policy
L. X.
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Housing Units and I was very impressed with the place. It had a great atmosphere and the first thing I noticed was the very polite Doormen. Also, as I was in a bit of a hurry, it was great to see so many staff around so it was quick and easy to find what I was looking for. Didn't have the opportunity to visit every department so will definitely be returning! The restaurant looked inviting too.
P. r.
The finest, friendliest, most professional customer service you will find anywhere.
This shop is a delight, I cannot speak highly enough of it. They even have a smart doorman!
Located out of town with a huge car park just off the main road. There are plenty of nearby buses too.
Once inside smartly uniformed friendly and professional staff greet you as you enter each department.
Then you are left to browse in peace. And the store is stocked with great quality items so there is much to browse. They sell pretty much everything for the home.
Need assistance? Look across and the staff will be over in a flash to help you. They know their stock too.
Decide to buy something? The staff suggest that they put the item behind the till, after all you wouldn’t want to have to carry it round the store with you! So civilised.
I thought that quality shopping had been wiped off the map until I paid them a visit.
Please go - it will restore your faith in retail- it did for me.
R. T.
We recently visited housing units and what a great experience it was. The choice of things in store is absolutely fantastic. The staff were so welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. I just wish I’d left my partner at home because I could of easily of spent longer there and spent a lot more more money.
p. t.
Great store with everything to furnish your home beautifully. Went looking for new coffee table and matching lamp but unsure quite what I wanted. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their products. One member of staff went out of their way to check the catalogues for lamp in different colour. I couldn't find table that I wanted in furniture department but staff informed me of the different places to look in other departments. It was really nice to walk around store with smiling staff in the majority of departments.
T. L. C.
Housing units is a great place for everything you need for your home I have bought so much stuff from here And it’s always brilliant quality and the staff are all so helpful. The restaurant the Wicken tree does excellent food I come at least twice a month for the past 7 years and always have a great meal and the staff are all excellent and friendly.
M. C.
Some of the furniture is expensive, but there are some unusual looking pieces. It's a similar experience for the kitchen wear.
At first glance the restaurant might seem expensive, but I would definitely recommend trying it. Once you see the portion size, taste the food and see how it is presented it becomes well worth the price.
C. R.
'The Housing Units have a good variety of products and departments/shops for whatever you are looking for. They have some sales on but also have high end products that are more expensive so you can go in with whatever budget. The staff in the sofa department were fab and really knowledgable and helpful but aren't too much hassling people to buy. The Christmas dept is great (but really busy!). The shopping centre is really easy to get to and conveniently located just off the M60. Parking is brill; there are ample spaces around all buildings. I will be back again and it would be great to visit the seasonal section in the summer months also.'

First Class Customer Service in the Bed/pillow department yesterday from Carol !
I have been having some difficulty replacing my old 'Hypnos Reactive low profile pillows' purchased at Housing Units 3yrs snd 5yrs ago respectively these past few wks and after finding the ones I ordered online seemed to have a 'rustling/crackling' noise with them ? and having to return them as 'faulty' I decided it best I ring the Dept to see if they had other ones in stock and take it from there.
From my initial contact with Carol on the phone she was a true professional, she understood my issue fully and offered to check their stock of both low and high profile pillows and really could not do enough to ensure I was happy with my enquiry. Carol later called me back and I went along to the Dept where I was able to inspect and try out the pillows with her help and advice and make a new purchase and with their 10% reduction in price in the Winter sale.
I saw Carol was wearing a 'trainee' badge and has only been at the store a matter of wks. She is a credit to Housing Units and in my opinion a very valuable addition to their team.
(the only issue I still have is that after collecting my new pillows from their Distribution Centre as they were closing and on getting them home they too are making a 'rustling' noise ) ! 😕
J. J.
I have been looking for new bedroom furniture for my new house in Scotland. I saw some beautiful furniture in HU bedroom dept where Janet was v helpful and efficient. I ordered it yesterday. I was so happy that I went off to another dept and bought a new dining table and chairs.
I wanted to thank this lovely lady publicly as I have never been served with such enthusiasm and friendliness and it has made the shopping experience an absolute joy. Thank you Janet!!
I have shopped at HU since I had my first home. I love it!!!!
N. R.
I will definitely be back to visit housing units to kit my house out... free parking is a bonus, for numerous shops covering all sorts of home furnishings you need. The staff are knowledgeable and approachable and happy to help. It's easy to get to all shops as the layout is great. I would recommend going here for furniture, home ware and there are clothes shops too! Some departments even do finance options for bigger purchases which is brill.
S. E.
Excellent customer service. Manufacturer had provided a defective item to Housing Units. I queried this and it was resolved with no quibbles and a replacement was sent to us direct from the manufacturer within a couple of days. John Gordon in Customer Services helped me with super efficient and helpful service. Will definitely use this company again!
C. P.
I bought a unit 4 weeks ago and had a few problems with it contacted yourselves and was told to send a email and photos which I did a day later we had an email plus a phone call saying that they would replace the unit
Which was today
This morning we had a tex telling me what time they were calling and a call to say they were 10 minutes away the delivery guys were so helpful plus a call to see if we had are delivery just want to say a big thank you
S. C.
I've not been to Housing Units for a while but I'm pleased to say it's as worthwhile visiting as ever.
Lunch in the Wicken Tree restaurant was good if a little pricy. The service was friendly and efficient.
All parts of the store and cafe / restaurant were busy which is great to see given the issues within the retail sector.
E.
Visited the housing units looking for a new bedroom lamp and was very impressed with the large range and reasonably priced products on offer. Lots of Free parking spaces. Lots of different stores to look around and some great bargains. Staff super helpful and friendly told me all about the family run housing units which have been there over 70 years! I would definitely recommend to family and friends for a day out shopping.
A. T.
I enjoy shopping at Housing Units because it is stress free. Parking is easy, the range of goods is wide and you can get excellent food and a lovely coffee. The only downside on my last visit was only one make of bedding was available, a choice would have been good. I always look forward to visiting during the sale when some good value buys can be had.
J. I.
I went to Housing Units a couple of weeks ago for the first time and was really surprised how professional all the staff were and at the quality of the shop and its products.
They sell a wide range of pretty much everything and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.
I would definitely return.
K. W.
Absolutely fabulous store. Lovely products and fantastic customer service. I came from work dressed in my scruffs and was not looked down by any staff at all. They were all friendly and there were plenty of banter with them. They went out of their way to find the products I was looking for. I ordered a table and chair set on 19th December they did everything they could and did it for me it was delivered on 21st. Went back Christmas Eve to buy some small furniture yet again excellent customer service and the guys at their warehouse are also so helpful. Great customer service goes a long way and Hiusing Units give you this. 10/10.
T. L.
Don’t get me wrong when I say Housing Units is not as good as it once was as it is still a cut above the rest shopping experience. Staff could not be more welcoming or helpful. Great selection of designer bags, lighting, furniture, kitchen goods, fashion jewellery, Christmas department (in season) framed prints, mirrors etc; etc. However! Once upon a time (when the Fox family were the owners) you could almost always be guaranteed to find that extra special gift item but these days the range of products hardly seems to change and worse, they have stopped selling ladies shoes and the Marvala products...what’s going on?
V. B.
I had a great shopping experience here. The staff in each department I visited were very helpful and friendly. There was also a great choice of products available, plus there was on site parking. This was my first visit to Housing Units and it left a positive first impression.
M. T.
A lovely store. I visited three departments whilst looking for a dining room table and a sofa. The service I received was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff members I spoke to.They showed me some great products and highlighted the features and benefits. For anyone who likes good customer service and a quality store this is the place to go.

I was initially very disappointed after I had entered the Home Furnishings store looking for a TV unit. I was barely spoken to and had to ask for someone to help me only to be given a brief answer and sent upstairs. It felt as though my custom wasn't needed so after a second attempt at service with no great response I left. I then went to the Emporium to look at a new mattress where I received a completely different level of service. The young lady was very friendly and was only too happy to help me find exactly what I needed showing great knowledge of the products available and suggested I should lie down so I could get a good feel of each one. I went upstairs to look at an Electric suite and was very impressed with the variety of products. Again great service here where the young lady who served me showed confidence in demonstrating the Suites and I felt she was showing me products that met my requirements. Housing units had a great range of quality and stylish products and I would recommend this complex for anyone who is in need up home improvement.
A. O.
Visited thinking it was just another DFS, Harvey's, etc. Pleasantly surprised! So much wonderful furniture to choose from, with some really good clearance items. Split between two large showrooms on site, both with two floors. It's a shame that we are currently waiting on the purchase of a new house so couldn't commit to any of the fantastic stock.
Bonus, there is a really nice restaurant in one of the two buildings (standard café in the other building). Enjoyed a great burger and chips, whilst my partner has a good quality chicken and bacon salad. Looked like they did a nice afternoon tea as well.
A. T.
Always enjoy shopping at Housing units. Good quality goods and excellent service. Have had a few things delivered and happy with service. Only downside is there is a long queue for a coffee at weekends!
Parking is really easy and it's close to the motorway network so it makes for a stress free environment.
s. m.
Great place tucked away in Failsworth. So amazing to have this on my doorstep. So many experienced staff on hand for small and large purchases - Everything from candles to bathroom suites. I went looking for a coat for my niece in their kids department - so cute and the staff are great! Would definitely come back for bigger purchases, my only criticism would be that most of the stuff is quite expensive.

A friend recently recommended the Housing units in Manchester, as I was looking for a three piece suite and a Dining table and chairs. On arrival I found there was ample parking, which is a blessing for Manchester. I visited three different departments which were all in separate buildings. I found the choice to be very good and it was all easy to navigate round. I found the staff were particularly helpful and friendly and really made an effort to assist me. There is also a while you wait car wash located in the car park, a pleasant few hours in a relaxed atmosphere.
C. S.
Fab Customer Service - Please Read On - I recently ordered a couple of sets of bedding complete with throws and cushions online! I collected from my local courier depot as was easier for me rather than taking time off work to take the delivery at home. I was very impressed with the swift response to acknowledge my order and the information received from the courier regarding tracking my order and redirecting it to collect from the depot.
Some of the items were unsuitable and after informing Housing Units Customer Service Department via email, they were in touch the following day via telephone to arrange the return!!
I have been shopping again today in-store and found exactly what I want and several more items that I will want when budget allows and would thoroughly recommend visiting Housing Units either online or if possible visit the store - its a lovely day out!!

Having visited Housing Unit for the first time I will definitely be going back. I found the choice and variety really and value for money. The Kitchen area had a fab selection of gadgets, The christmas area was fab and all the staff that helped me were friendly and engaging. I would highly recommend a visit and will be going back.
C. T.
My recent trip to Housing Units was in one word delightful! The customer service I received was excellent and the quality of the products is fantastic. Great to have a wonder around on an afternoon or run in for a quick purchase.

I went to the Housing Units several weeks ago, I first went for some lunch which was very nice, and served quickly. I then had a walk around each of the departments to browse for things for my new home and everything was lovely, presentation was great and the staff were very helpful. I would recommend the Housing Units to anyone, I just wanted to buy everything in the store. I will be going back soon again to shop in the winter wonderland!

I visited housing units with my husband to buy a house warming gift, well we were spoilt for choice. The range of products available is great, we also enjoyed browsing the furniture department and picked up some great re-decoration tips. Had a lovely lunch while there too, an enjoyable morning.

I had a good experience at Housing Units when I shopped around for a few items in different departments. I was looking at fireplaces and electric suites and they had a large range with something for everyone. It took a while for someone to approach me but I did leave with a brochure to peruse at home and was informed about their price match policy. Next I was looking for a replacement bed and the assistant encouraged me to find the right mattress by lying down on them to find the right level of firmness. It helps to do some research beforehand to have an idea what kind of spring and storage option you want. Finally, I was looking at glass tables and the assistant was extremely helpful and attentive and showed me many different tables and suggested how to look after the glass and matching chairs. She even offered to let me know if the tables went down in price in the upcoming sale and demonstrated really well the extending tables. I would definitely go back to Housing Units if I was looking to purchase or browse many home items in one location.

I visited Housing Units and was impressed with all of their products. They have an extensive range in all departments and plenty of staff were on hand to make enquiries. In some departments you have to ask the staff questions but all in all its an impressive shopping experience and the food in the café also looked very appealing
J. C.
Having just ordered, and had delivered, items of furniture, I felt that I just had to say what a great experience, from start to finish; Sales staff in store were most helpful, delivery arrangements were made without any problems, and the Delivery staff were professional, friendly, careful and considerate. And on top of all of that, I am SO pleased with my purchases - so a big 'thank you' to all concerned, and I will be back....!

Visited today at the Failsworth store in Manchester. Excellent experience! Our 4 year old had a magical time. Booked £15 session and it's worth every penny. Better than trafford centre and other grottos. Santa was very friendly and had a conversation with our son. There was no rush at all. The gift is a decent model car which he can keep as a remembrance of his first interactive and magical experience. Better than a lot other rip off grottos where the staff is moody and appear as they arent interested. Loved it !!!

You could spend all day in here having a look around, I'd recommend eating here too as the food is prepared fresh and tastes really nice.
Staff will take care of you however, I got the impression that if they know you're not going to buy anything as you need to think about it or check if furniture will fit, they are eager to walk away! This happened twice yesterday to us when they didn't have the TV stand in the colour I wanted or the coffee table with matching side table.
We were told if we bought something in store we couldn't return it, even if they didn't have it on display to look at it. They advised I went online to look at the picture then buy it off their website and then I could return it.
After leaving rather dismayed I thought I'd give a review, deducting one star for the negatives here and hope they amend their policy. I really don't understand why you're stuck with an item that you can't look at before deciding to purchase it in store.

Visited this Unit and i was very impressed with the little details. When I arrived to one of the units a lovely doorman in a colourful outfit greeted me in a very polite manner. All the departments assistants were fairly helpful and in general happy to help. Lovely house and garden furniture and decorations to die for.
J. S.
This is a store that is warm and welcoming. What ever you want you will normally find, plus much more. I especially love the kitchen department, I went to find a toaster and was greeted by a lovely young lady who helped me find the perfect toaster for my large family. I was a little disappointed when I inquired about spotlight bulbs that they no longer stocked them, but that's a minor issue. The down side of housing units is that I always spend money even if I just go for a mouch.

Truly unique retail experience - everything you need for your home and garden under one roof . All budgets are catered for with Inexpensive to luxury products without compromising quality or
Customer service . This store cannot be visited without indulging yourself with an exquisite lunch or champagne brunch , either in the restaurant /cafe or
Private dining area ( pre-book ) .
M. H.
Love visiting Housing Units at this time of year. The Christmas displays are second to none and the children love seeing the talking reindeer. The staff are always pleasant and friendly and very helpful. There are loads of parking spaces and a very friendly gentleman opens the door on entry. Cannot fault this place. Well worth a visit.
L. F.
Housing units is an Oldham Gem! great place to pick up presents and bespoke art work and things for your home. You know from Housing Units its good quality and will last. Nice cafe as well
L. L.
I visited Housing Units for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I have to say I was amazed by the attentive staff and the service received, I didn't realise customer service like this still existed. I was introduced to products I had never heard of previously and I left in no doubt that if there was a problem with my purchase or if I simply changed my mind, I wouldn't need to worry that the staff at Housing Units would sort it out for me. I can't wait to go back.
K. S.
I recently visited Housing Units and it was a great experience. I required some assistance when choosing some products and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable but best of all not pushy. Would definitely return in the future. Great products and helpful staff.

Re review below returned to housing units a few days later to purchase new3 piece suite (which was the reason for original visit which we gave the bad review for) extremely happy with service. We purchased the suite online, some of the items were missing/not listed and the lady on the phone added them to the website !!! Great service, returned that evening to purchase the extra 5 year warranty as you can't do that online ? We were greeted by Rachel ,I think she was called, the restaurant manager who gave us complimentary gift vouchers for the restaurant, unexpected but a lovely gesture nonetheless. Below review not a reflection on the service we got in the shop whatsoever, just wanted to clarify this, thank you
Went to housing units today to purchase a new sofa . We thought we would call in the restaurant for something to eat . We booked for 2pm and turned up and was seated . We ordered a steak sandwich and a ham and piccalilli sandwich with chips coleslaw and a 2 drinks ( coke and a regular filter coffee) the bill came to £31.75 !! Ok I accept that it's pricey and for that price I would expect quality food . We ordered at 2:30pm and within 10 min we had our drinks . 45 minutes later we were still waiting for our food . We had noticed that people who were seated after us were being served food , so we asked where our order was . We were told ours would be the next order out . What arrived was terrible . Half a baguette with steak on . A ham sandwich with 1 slice of ham on . 1 small bowl of coleslaw and 2 small wire bowls of chips . I couldn't believe I'd paid that much for something I could have walked across the road to Morrisons and got a far better deal for £7 . I don't mind paying for decent food but the food served in there was shambolic . However, Sue in the factory outlet shop couldn't have been move helpful and we will be returning on Thursday to purchase our new sofa .

On my visit to the Failsworth housing units complex, my initial impression was that the site had a welcoming approach. I was pleasantly surprised driving up to see how well structured and laid out the shopping centre was. It is obviously a popular shopping area as the weather was not at all the best, yet still we found it difficult to park not because of inadequate parking numbers, but simply that the car park was full. All the stores we visited were well laid out and the Emporium looks as though we could've been in one of the big named stores on Deansgate Manchester or at the top of Market Street in Manchester. The staff that dealt with us in the shop which sold car seats and baby goods was wonderful, attentive and very helpful. However, this was not to be the case at several other stores which we visited and found we had to deliberately present ourselves to shop assistants in order to get any service. This was quite A dampener on what initially seemed set out to be a wonderful shopping experience. Not withstanding, the less than satisfactory Service from a couple of the stores our overall impression was that we would return to housing units to shop.
B. G.
Housing units is a great visit, especially around Christmas time as they set up a great grotto style section in one of the buildings. The doormen are a nice touch and their range is vast and appears to be of good quality. From furnishings to fireplaces, Kitchens and Bathrooms they have a lot to offer. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is the prices are pretty high. I appreciate they have a lot of things but you can probably find the same things cheaper with a little bit of looking.
l. P.
Love shopping here , the choice in whichever dept you visit is incredible
from everyday options to complete luxury options, all first class quality as well.
I bought some furniture earlier this year and encountered a problem, the customer service team were amazing and things were sorted out immediately
Would recommend a visit to anyone, and xmas shop is a must.
M. B.
We bought a bed there today. Janet was the lady who guided us through the process. We cant thank her enough. Very professional and down to earth. This lovely lady is the reason we will be recommending this store to our family and friends. Thank you janet for your help today
L. M.
A lovely day spent shopping and dining with my partner. Wide range of furniture to suit everybody's needs, was spoilt for choice and wonderful staff who are always happy to help. The food at the restaurant was lovely too.
A. B.
Love shopping at Housing Units, with free car parking, friendly welcoming doormen, knowledgeable, helpful staff and excellent quality goods for every room in the house , its well worth a visit.
At this time of year its especially good with its brilliant Christmas department, just make sure you have enough time to visit both the Emporium and the Home furnishing dept.
Also worth a visit is the Wickentree restaurant.
S. B.
As a regular visitor to housing units, I would like to express how impressed we were with the Wickentree Restaurant. We arrived for Lunch just after 12pm on a busy week day and were seated immediately. The service and cleanliness were second to none. The food arrived piping hot and beautifully presented. The portions were large and very filling. This is definitely a place to come to whether after just a snack or a full meal. The afternoon Tea's are Amazinggggg.
Definitely returning again !!!!
P.S. when shopping in the store the staff taking your goods to the till - makes life easier and you feel that little bit special

This is a review of The Wicken Tree restaurant, on the first floor of one of the buildings.
Service from Rita was excellent, very attentive and helpful.The food was great - we had items from the breakfast menu which were all well cooked and presented.
It has plenty of tables but was busy, so I'd advise booking a table if you can. There's a 20% discount available on breakfast if you sign up to the Privilege Card.
M. S.
We had new fitted wardrobes by Hammonds based in housing units. The whole experience from the sales ladies in store, the surveyor and the planner was brilliant. The final piece in the jigsaw was the fitter Gsreth who did a beautiful job , He was amazing. Cannot recommend this company enough. Thankyou so much, Mr & Mrs Spence .
M. B.
Great service from start to finish. Huge choice in both buildings. Better quality than DUFFS. I would recommend a few hours here as you end up Changi your mind. Very pleased with the delivery I would go back and buy again.

Took my next door neighbour who hadn't been before she was amazed. We both had lunch which was very nice before having a look round . Housing unit
Took my next door neighbour as she had never been before she was amazed. We had lunch which was first class as always and the service was excellent before having a look round, I hadnt planned on buying anything but there were some really good bargains so we both spent far more than we had envisaged but having said that we both got what we wanted at fantastic prices and the service was absolutely first class nothing was too much trouble. We both went home very pleased with ourselves.

Visited here to have a look at some dining furniture. Great for shopping everything is all on the one site everything you need for your house! The staff are friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble make you feel like a valued customer. A lovely cafe to end the experience!! Highly recommend a visit.
P. M.
Love this store, It’s truly unique, and I visit whenever I’m in the area. The staff are always friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. If you’re needing furniture or anything for the home, this is the place, highly recommended!
M. M.
I visited housing units last week and I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff, they were extremely friendly and very helpful. It was clear that the quality of the products is high and the store is very well laid out to make shopping easy to find what your looking for. I would definitely recommend this store.
A. B.
I hadn't visited Housing Units since it occupied just one building many years ago. I liked it then but I was amazed at the new complex. It reminded me of Lewis's in the good old days. Many different departments and importantly, staff who knew what they were talking about. A very pleasant experience.
J. B.
Amazing restaurant tucked away in a fantastic emporium. In the Wickentree you'll find fabulous Rita and lovely Barbara with hospitality that'l make your day. The food is always great, plate after plate. The service is second to none even when the place is filled to the rafters. Brunch Burrito was amazing.

Clean, excellent choice of goods.both the restaurant and cafe serve fantastic food all staff are very friendly.

I went into housing units to look for a couple of items so walked through a few departments. What a brilliant experience I had, the sales assistants were knowledgable, courteous, warm and not too pushy. In fact they could not do enough and to say I was WOWd would be an understatement. Well done to housing units for getting it so right!
C. p.
This was my first visit here and it was lovely, the majority of staff are really friendly and helpful and I especially like the efficient doorman who gave me a wonderful greeting. It was surprisingly cheaper than I thought it would be, I always thought it was an expensive place to shop but it's really not and very good value! I'll definitely be shopping here again for the great customer service. I could spend hours here, there's so much to look at and the cafe and restaurant looked amazing!
A. L.
Housing Units is a great place to find everything you could possibly need in furniture in one place. There're plenty of variety and interesting things to look at in a very nice, pleasant environment. The staff was also great during my visit there, offering me personalised advice and choice. The only reason I didn't give them a five star is because I think it could be better connected to the Metrolink station for us who don't own a car.
L. P.
Really good range of Christmas decorations at reasonable prices. Staff not that friendly, no small talk at tills, but for the price not bad at all. Recommended for a look around.
T. H.
Came here yesterday for the santas grotto, My little boy loved it really good experience! some interactive buttons wasent working but still really good. Nice store with some great furniture also visitied kids shop which had a ball pool in. Staff are very friendly 👍
B. K.
Throughout the covid pandemic I have been supported by Housing units to sort out our new house. Really pleased with the result. Some items took time to be resolved but I am happy with the outcome and thank the team for their support. We bought Venjakob furniture in the store and curtains from the design centre. Even our sofas purchased 3 years ago are still in great condition.Thanks to Karl Shackley and team
K. B.
Lovely lunch in the new Cafe 1947, for all age groups. Serve great homemade pizzas and even serve alcohol, if you fancy a glass of fizz. Mouth watering cakes available too.
P. E.
Excellent staff, beautiful products with something for everyone! Can get very busy so time your visits to make the most of it.

I really like Housing units, we brought our grandchildren to see the Christmas displays which they loved an then we took them for lunch in the cafe. I’m afraid I wasn’t impressed they were given fizzy pop to drink out of a bottle, they don’t have fizzy drinks especially since they are only 18 m n 3. There was no hot food choice for them so the grated cheese on the sandwich went everywhere. I’ve had better choices for them in garden centres.
E. C.
It was my first visit to Housing Units and I will definitely go back again. It was a lot bigger with more choice then I was expecting and the prices were good too. The staff were great, really friendly and go out their way to help. A great first impression.
C. P.
Just spoke to Sean and Richard both on the phone and via live chat who gave me every bit of information I needed about my order. I was a little worried before this as I didn’t think I would be getting the answers I needed due to the current circumstances but these guys were great and are a credit to your company.
M. K.
Ordered some plates for delivery, one was broken in transit, let them know and they immediately sent out a replacement which arrived two days later on a Sunday - incredible service!

Just had reason to contact customer services about an item that I was a little disappointed with and they contacted me straight away and arranged to refund me. This level of service is hard to get these days! Very impressed. Thank you

Really enjoy my visits to Housing Units. Great choice of furnishings and staff have always been very friendly and helpful. Always see many things I really like when visiting. Have also eaten in the cafe and restaurant and have enjoyed the food and service has been very good.

Great products and friendly staff. Although a lot of the stuff is quite pricey and could probably be found cheaper else where if you searched hard enough, you can't deny the quality of the products on display.

Brought my Evonic E1800 fire from here and from there website really easy to use website first time coming across there page as I’m down south and must say will definitely be using again I made contact after purchasing from here on social media enquiring about delivery and was very helpful also very happy with the company they used to deliver they was called spintshaft the delivery guys where very helpful and very careful when bringing in to the property great service all round Thank You 👍

I bought a Stressless chair from Housing Units - the service was second to none and the product is superb - would highly recommend this company.
R. C.
Fantastic day browsing the furniture department, aided by friendly helpful staff, before eventually plumping for our new suite. Then had a lovely snack in the restaurant. Suite was delivered on time a few days later. Too easy!!!
L. M.
Went to HU for our downstairs Amtico flooring, Kevin came round to quote our job and swiftly arranged an Amtico approved fitter to lay our new flooring. Flooring was fitted to a very high standard and couldn't be happier - only gripe was the communication between HU and the fitter, I would have expected after spending nearly £4k that we would have received a follow up call from Kevin or someone from the sales team to check we were happy with our flooring - but no call came, hence 4 stars only.
R. G. (.
Ouch my wallet, massive selection, good customer service, well laid out, a good visit
A. B. P.
I do so love this place ❤ the staff are the key point to this experience; they are positively fanominal and it's so obvious that they all enjoy their workplace environment. A fabulous array of high quality competitively priced furniture and fantastic accessories making it a true home makers heaven 😇
J. G.
Always a pleasant shopping experience. Great range of items for the whole house.
G. H.
Have shopped at Housing Units for many years and have purchased various items for the home including 2 full bathroom suits, pictures, mirrors, beds, lighting kitchen extras etc
I have always been impressed with the service, assistants, delivery and quality from the store. The cafe is also amazing
Highly recommended
e. t.
Housing units have always been one of our first ports of call for house hold items without much problem.
However for the first time we took out furniture insurance on a sofa and chair through HU with Castelan Group. Unfortunately we have had to make a claim for a structural defect and Castelan Group are dragging there heels despite agreeing a valid claim. Two months on and now they say another month to decide how to proceed as the chair parts are not available. Meanwhile we cant use the chair or go buy another whist waiting.
Wont be having the Insurance next time, calls cost a fortune and you get fobbed of with " staff Shortages".

I visited the store last week with my mum as we were looking for a present. The service in the kitchen department was second to none and we quickly found our present which was also in the sale so were delighted with our shopping trip and will definitely be returning soon.
F. B.
I was surprised to find this home shopping oasis just off the high street. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the showrooms and staff members were friendly. I will be back in the future. Oh, and there is ample FREE parking too!

We've been here many times we bought a dining room suite quite a few years ago it's still as good as new quality products throughout the store with great food although very expensive.
S. R.
Nice place to visit. Plenty of parking places and different shopping experience.
P. C.
Reduced service levels due to staff shortages.
Good Covid control in place. Always worth a visit.
K. C.
Great for home inspiration. Definitely a great centre for bigger house purchases such as dining tables or couches. But certainly a more upmarket price range. If you’re going for a wander round, make a morning out of it and then go to the café for brunch. Their menu is to die for.
B. A.
It is a lovely massive store.. I have bought many home things from here and made some savings when their sales are on.. the quality is great too!

I visited this lovely store and the service from the staff was exemplory, nothing was too much trouble for them. It is a lovely time to visit with the Christmas store looking very festive. I visited 3 departments and came out of the store smiling. I would highly recommend you visit.

Lovely products and very good customer service. Plenty of choice to choose from. Very organised set up with friendly staff. Could be a little more helpful in the sofa department but other than that great store would return.

Really nice place to go to look at Christmas decorations the place is done up magical you just wonna buy everything. The Christmas trees are unbelievable and staff everywhere incase you need assistance. I love that there is a doorman who is so polite and good with the kids.

I visited Housing units recently and I found the wide range in the various departments was impressive, the staff very helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The only fault I would say is because the various departments tend to merge it was difficult on occasions to locate the staff.

Great experience, friendly staff and very helpful. Fantastic range of products. You could spend all day here. We had lunch in the restaurant which as I expected was 10/10. Will be back!

The staff are always very helpful without being pushy , I always find exactly what I’m looking for and it’s the most wonderful store to spend some time browsing
M. H.
Okey here is a tricky one.... so main building great products but has a very stuck up vibe from staff watching every move to the way you walk around and it's a copycat off a big competitor who lets say has great Christmas adverts.. BUT on the other hand wow Wow the 2nd building the Christmas section wow was welcoming it was it's own not coping no1 personally met the manager I think it was a gentleman who was helpful and he loved his section I think he was very enthusiastic and funny made the trip worth it looking forward to go back xxx

Wow!
I recently visited Hoysing Units in Failsworth after a friend told me how good it was, that was an understatement, this place is fantastic, lots of great quality goods but at affordable prices, from baby and children's items to household furniture and fittings, lots of gift ideas and of course being this time of year, Father Christmas 😀 But it's not just a Santa sat on a chair, it's a whole experience to delight your little ones, (and big people to, I was delighted as it reminded me of the little grotto I visited when I was a child), there's talking raindeers and a chimney whith Santas legs sticking out the bottom in a lovely little house, it's all animated with the touch of a button then you are met by two lovely little Elves who guide you through an enchanted walkway towards Santas home, a gift and a photo are offered to visiting children and big smiles all round, well worth a visit, I will certainly be going again 👍❤️

Housing units has grown into a great shopping experience over the past few years. Smart range of modern furniture and a good selection of lighting for all homes. Well worth a visit and the restaurant is great value for money. Easy parking with ample disabled parking and wheelchair access...

Visited housing units and just wanted to share,it really is a lovely place,you really can find everything there,parking is free, staff are lovely,you could easily spend a day there,window shopping,only one negative i would say is it is a little expensive......for example they have some really nice scented candles which i thought were quite pricey....
