Reviews of The Range
F. C.
Clean, tidy and organised store. Plenty of parking, but keep an eye on the time as the car park owners give you 2 hours. Try to avoid coming out at peak times as the roads get very contested near the station.
Pricing can be very hit and miss, and therefore frustrating, although the till team are happy to check the price before you buy.
s. w.
The store has had a major refresh and looks really good. Bit confusing at first but is great yo have more options available ready for the summer. My only issue is that the tills are always empty so takes a while to get through them.
M. H.
Plenty of stuff and variety of goods to purchase. A great store with free parking and shopping on two floors full of goodies and all the household stuff u could imagine. There’s also a small coffee shop upstairs.
It’s quite difficult to find an assistant on the shop floors to ask any question. The staff at tills are knowledgeable and helpful.
J. M. “. P.
Definitely the best go to shopping for Christmas decorations in Reading. There's all kinds of house and garden decorations and accessories and for the price the quality is exceptional.
G. D. L.
Very good choice of items at really reasonable prices. Only downfall is there is always stock lying around waiting to be put out.
H. P.
Cheap and cheerful. Love the water features up stairs.
Wonderful Christmas stuff. Love going to pick up stuff there. Awesome place.
Update: the Range were a god send today. We found out our tree just couldn't stand up and was just too knackered. so we rushed down to the range to grab one. We found one we liked but there was none in stock sadly. However we were saved by their excellent customer service by providing us with the one on display which shocked us as we didn't think you could have the ones on display but nonetheless we were extremely pleased and grateful. Thank you very much Range. Will definitely be returning again.

A one stop place where you find everything you need for your home. You will find a huge collection of wall decors, figurines, garden equipment, furniture and what not. Easily accessible, right infront of the Reading station.
J. R.
I brought a new fish tank which was fantastic but the range of things to go in it has shrunk alot which was a shame. Also there garden range has disappeared so was unable to find food for my wildlife ie birds, squirrels etc
Y. T.
Great big store where you can find everything...
P. C.
Lots of stuff got what I wanted would get more but couldn't carry it lol. Great place for nic naks and ornaments
C. P.
Great place. Good range of product and good prices as well. Enough parking spaces.
S. L. A.
Ever since they spruced up the place, it is more inviting. Brightly lit and less cluttered...makes it easier to browse ard.
N. K. V.
Nice place but looks just like Dunelm and Wilkinson's.
J. C.
All that you need, literally! Some things poor quality but open till 8pm, very handy!
M. S.
Went for craft selection. Not as good as it used to be but some good items reasonably priced. Could not find many rubber stamps. A lovely place to browse.
I. H.
Very big store, with everything in one place. Love it.
A. P.
Went in just for 1 thing but as usual come out with so much more, only bad thing about this store is the mess in the rug area its a tripping hazzard.
S. S.
Exceptional food and very reasonable prices. Staff are always friendly and efficient.
R. S.
We go here for anything related to home. The prices are reasonable and the staff are wonderful. Always helpful and smiling.
A. x.
The guy at the till was friendly and funny which is always nice and it’s a big store with lots to choose from! I think there was an upstairs but was in a bit of a hurry so unfortunately didn’t get to trawl up and down the isles!
I’ve been to a Range before that had a square layout and it’s a bit annoying, but this is our local one now and we’ve just bought a house so you can guarantee we’ll be returning! ☺️
Z. W.
They have just had a refit and lots of lovely things to buy. I just popped in for gerbil food but had a mooch.
m.
Lovely place for shopping.. range of things available.
W. B.
Great place for browsing, full of things you didn't know you need but absolutely have to have. Sometimes it can be quite busy, and messy- items everywhere where they've been abandoned by customers and not cleared up yet or without a clear shelf label. Also never enough check out staff, but that's the case in many shops.
A.
Very close to train station, a lot of households stuff at a very good price! Everything in one place. Good customer service too. Recommended.
a.
Range has everything. i mean everything from furniture, childrens toys, hardware, toilet seats, down to maca powder and large triangular toblerone. It does have a rather dated 70s/80s feel , but thats ok while you while away an hour or two on a wet Sunday afternoon.
M. W.
I like this shop cause of good access to all of the items, always full stock, friendly staff with good knowledge about thier assortment. Easy access for disabled people on the wheelchair. You can get everything for your home, from the sheet of paper to garden fence. Highly recommended.
M. S.
Vèy nice selection of all sorts of hardware particularly garden items.
J. A.
It's got everything i won't say my age but I was like a kid in a candy shop, I was only in there for 1 thing and came out with lot's more (which was needed). Staff members happy to help 😁 always with a smile, wasn't crammed with people so I wasn't stressed so I had a good experience shopping there, will definitely be going back there 😊
A. D. C.
New layout on the store that works really well.
Overall good as ever
L. H.
Has a wide range of products for the home. Can be difficult to find the price of items on the shelves.
s. w.
You might find some stuff expansive but still a good and readable place to browse around and find much interesting stuff ...food ,drinks ,Diy health and beauty household ,furniture ,home wear ,house decoration ,stationary you name it you will find it , clothing , gardening and flowers
With massive free parking
G. M.
Loads of cool kitch items, alot of them are good quality items but a few are flimsy e.g. the bathroom cabinets I went in there looking for...tho came out with everything bar something for the bathroom! Just check the feel and quality of what your buying, alot of items were in there boxes so defo check before u buy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Y. R.
As the name suggests, a great range of products and the prices are reasonable too
S. D.
Great location and I've spent loads in there this year after buying my house. They sell the branded paint less than others. I returned a chair 6 weeks after buying it and there was no issue, you have to applause them for customer service
K. R.
You can find virtually anything for your home here. If you need paint, wallpaper, curtains, mirrors, beds etc then this is the place.
B.
Brilliant service. Was sowing meadow mix seeds in the garden and ran out. Out of stock everywhere in Reading! Called The Range and they put their last 3 bags of stock behind the counter for me. Brilliant service and now a complete meadow has been sowed.
S. G.
Every time I go to the Range I buy something or the other interesting. It has various House hold things, kitchen necessary things, stationary, photo frames and lot. And all with reasonable price.
Staff is very helpful and return policies are easy.
I would definitely recommend the store.
G. A.
Always a positive experience in the Range. It's hard to find your way around unless you've been there before good options for pets and sweets. A lot of things to decorate and cheap toys for my nephew. Great store.
P. N.
Took ages to get help and a bit poorly organised although they did have what I needed
R. E.
Excellent store which is very well stocked with a vast array of products. Well worth a visit.
B. C. Z. M.
Great selection for your home needs. Love the curtains here, wouldn't go anywhere else for them now. Love the seasonal sections upstairs. Would recommended.
N. G. O.
The Range is a place to get most things your need, lots of choice and at a sensible price. Only downside at the moment is that the cafe and toilets are shut.
J. T.
Good shop prices seem about right.
V.
Wide range of products available. Cheap prices. Similar business model to IKEA BUT movement is not just in one direction. A mix of B&M and IKEA. Store was slightly cluttered but nothing was too difficult to find
S. B.
Great place.car bits.animal food&bedding.toys.garden bits.kitchen stuff.love it.
C. W.
I love the range. This store is always never too hectic which is just what you want when shopping. Till staff were not overly happy but we are all human at the end of the day, hence the one star missing.
m. c.
Absolutely great the prices for some items are a bit more expensive than some but the quality is excellent
The Christmas and Halloween ranges are fantastic
l. S.
Big selections of household product with reasonable price. A lot of Christmas decorating items.
Coffee shop at the upper floor.
I. “. H.
Top notched store, you can get everything under one roof.
A. H.
There were a lot of missing shelf edge labels so I didn't end up buying at least 8 items I might have bought if I knew the prices of them.
Queue was quite long and the shop floor was piled with wrapped pallets.
Not the best Range store I have visited unfortunately.
P. V.
Good shop for all round of household products and garden materials. Located at very convenient place. Parking sometimes could be busy mainly coz the entrance to parking could be blocked. I would not recommend for swimming pool products which is poor quality for the price but good shop for household interior etc.
E. P.
A good selection of everything but not always priced clearly.
E. M.
I love it here. Staff are kind and go above and beyond to be friendly, especially in the cafe. It has a good range of quality products at very decent prices. Fun for mooching and good for essentials. Parking is easy and free :-)
S. J.
Great bargins easy to park , cheap flowers
P. W.
Like all stores of the Range there is lots here, I mean lots! Planning birthday parties, weddings etc you will find what you need and probably stuff you didn't as well. We needed jars for a sweetie cart we are putting together and this was ideal. There garden furniture is good as well as have used this in the past. Worth a visit.
j. b.
Most branded products are cheaper here than anywhere else. Good shop.
P. F.
Great place for homewares and arts and craft materials.
G. H.
A very useful store with all sorts of very practical and useful items for Home and Garden AND upstairs for Home furnishings.
M. W.
What's not to like here! Free parking, cafe inside and lots of lovely items for all your family and friends plus your home or garden. The Range has a great variety for everyone, one of my favourite places to shop.
S. W.
One of my favourite places to shop for Christmas Decorations. Lovely range and reasonably priced.
S. G.
Whilst The Range is one of our favourite shops to visit, we were not impressed after our last visit we received a fine for over staying in the car park by 15 mins we decided to have a coffee before leaving this beverage has cost us £60, not impressed..
R. S.
I got myself good deals over here
J. *.
You can't go wrong at this shop with so many good value, quality products for maintaining & sprucing up all around the home & garden as well as lots of possible gifts and a large card section. Always a most helpful team of people working there too. Most grateful to have The Range in Reading
G. B.
Packed with all sorts of things you either were looking for, or didn't realise you needed. And at the moment, it opens until 4:30 on Sunday (Reading branch anyway) which is super useful as most DIY / home goods places close at 4pm
H. M.
Didn't have any of the items we went in for
S. B.
My go-to place for shopping for great quality dishes and cuttlery for affordable prices. Nice quality assortment of home deco, gardening stuff, great quality of furniture (this one is on the pricey side) and so on.
C. A.
Some great prices in most departments. Store not perfectly maintained (some areas without prices on lots of items) but still ok. Feels like a better Woolworths! Everything you'd need.
V. H.
my daughter visited a week ago and has a hearing impairment she can lip read only so well and its hard for her at the moment. when she went in she went to find scrapbooks and asked a young girl near the sweets if she could show her them. girl pointed in a direction and my daughter went to that direction and found another member of staff and asked. Lovely girl noticed she was deaf and removed her mask so my daughter can read and spoke to her in sign language. My daughter was pleased with her visit after this it made her feel really happy. Girl was young with glasses and short dark hair didnt get a name sadly. Very nice and my daughter found lots of things she needed
E. M. W.
Lots of work going on but was okay got what we needed
J. W.
Good selection of things although the staff didn't know where to find some of them! Great for art supplies at a much more reasonable price than a certain shop down the road. They stock acrylic paints and canvases which we were looking for. Also have a selection of false flowers and wedding items.
N. B.
I love the Range but sometimes the prices or deals online aren't available in the Reading store which is a bit frustrating! Come here for most of my arty bits and prices are really competitive with Hobby craft. I love their seasonal stock too, great selection and good value for money.
N. “. S.
Decent selection of almost anything and at decent prices for an 'off the shelf' store! Staff were helpful - even when it came to finding the tills and way out. (Not sure if the same in other branches, but with so much stuff it was hard to get bearings and navigate, but no major shakes!)
J. F.
Its well laid out, but the staff don't have a clue. Most are "kids", and the manager had no idea, exit doors locked, no keys. They open at 9am because " you can't expect people to get up too early for work". Wrong attitude, I get up at 05.30 latest, have done for 37yrs of my working life. Retail shops should be open from 06.00hrs to 22.00hrs, not the same hours 99% of people work because the young generation are "little darlings" who don't understand the phrase " work ethic"
L. T.
An excellent shopping experience with a lovely display of Christmas goods, and very helpful staff and affordable prices!!
a. m.
Lots of choice and all fairly priced
A. L.
We went in to look at Christmas Decorations and brought some reindeers. They held 2 mins silence for remembrance day.
D. W.
Range layout has changed since my last visit, which wasn't long ago. Cafe seems to have disappeared and some items which were downstairs before are now upstairs.
J. I.
Went to grab a few things, went to find the end of the queues to pay and it was literally at the other end of the shop.. their tilling systems are so slow and behind and only a handful of tills they should upgrade to at least some self serve tills. I put all the stuff down and left as I wasn't going to wait. Usually its not so bad but when its peak ties like Christmas and especially now Covid Lockdowns their should definitely be something!
a. h.
Other than nothing being priced, its ok and the Christmas decorations my son loves to go and look at.
T. B. C.
This is a good place to visit lots of ideas for decorating the home. The quality of the towels are very good and very reasonable prices too!
K. C.
I really love this place. Lots of great bargains for exceptionally good quality items. This is great place to buy low cost arts and crafting tools and materials.
Upstairs they sell furniture for home and garden, toys, books, clothing and even lighting. There's also a little area to sit and have a drink and a bite to eat.
It really beats hobby craft for value for money. I highly recommend it.
B. R.
The variety and 'range' of this shop saves it in my opinion. The atmosphere of the shop was rather calm, even though it's a bank holiday. There was quite a few staff hovering around the store, and an appropriate amount of tills open. One thing that really let's this place down is the pricing issues. Something will say £2.99 and end up being like £5.99 at the till. If that was fixed, the shop would be 5* !
J. S.
Range of good, excellent to Key Workers during first lockdown.
Good Parking during week, busy at weekends due to Aldi. Pro active with personally offering everyone antibacterial gel on entering.
A.
Good stuff , very varied , a good place.
S. F.
Some staff wearing masks, as are some customers., ☹️
Store clean and in full swing for CHRISTMAS. Staff pleasant enough.
m. r.
Really, large shop. Great service and products are good value for money. Toilets were clean just need a lock on one of them
f. p.
Good range of goods but possibly too much unnecessary Christmas plastic type stuff. Cafe staff excellent and good price and selection. Worst thing was the the santa at the top of the escalator. It frightened my granddaughter and other people said it was a bit spooky and was causing people to stop at the top of the escalator which was dangerous as you couldn't get off. Hope its been moved by now.
C. B.
A huge shop full of household goodies and things for crafts all at very reasonable prices. If you need any help ask any of the assistants they are super helpful. The car park is free and shared by other large outlets on the site, it gets busy at peak times but you will find a place. Give them a try, have browse.
S. B.
Better than slough. Have to come this far to get Timothy hay for my rabbits
A. C.
Very nice reasonable prices
H. D.
A great shop for just about anything you can think of. Need a birthday gift..plenty of ideas. Need something for the home again plenty of choice from kitchen ware to living and dining items and lighting too. There are toys and baby products and crafting/hobby items a plenty. Christmas is well covered too. Pets are not forgotten and a good selection of gardening items. The Range is on 2 levels with a flat escalator between the two floors for disabled access and pushchairs.
J. A.
We have bought lots of useful stuff from the range for a good price. But when you're there they have the worst crackly tannoy that makes being in the store very unpleasant.
Also their queuing system is non-existent
F. E. A.
The Range is good for getting household items. The queue can get very long and not enough staff at the tills.
S. A. C.
Great variety of goods, from house ware to crafts. Pet food is in the same price range that you find in supermarkets, so an alternative option as it isn't as busy.
S. P.
Had to buy extra large throws and we managed to get themfrom Range.The shopsdisappointed me as they only had large ones.
S.
The positives are... The Range is fully open during lockdown. It has an extensive range of stuff at reasonable prices. The negatives are... the till queues and missing price tickets on many products.
S. D.
Sells everything you want for home and garden etc
It's a lovely shop.
But be very wary of parking. You'll soon end up with a ticket for the most minor offence (wheel on line etc) from the most aggressive parking warden you will ever meet !!!
He takes no prisoners and takes great delight in telling you in no uncertain terms your getting the ticket come what may !!!
Be aware
J. K.
Being my first time in the UK, it’s quite different. Where I’m from, we don’t pay for the shopping trolley so I appreciate the staff who helped me get one even though it seems like a silly cry for help. A lot of variety for household stuff and great prices too..
T. L.
Large spacious shop, large variety of goods too. Sadly the cafe was very poorly staffed and slow. When I did get my jacket potato to be fair it was hot and delicious. No beans though (?)
N. M.
Got everything you need for your home,garden,pets,holiday,DIY,tools. There's two levels with a 15degree excalator. They are corona virus friendly with sanitation at the door and two metres on the floor great shop got everything.
S. E.
A must visit at the Reading Store really great Christmas Decorations, plus fantastic every day products
M. M.
Was a nice shop with the upper floor had Christmas decorations and wasn't that buzzy when we went.
A. W.
Love having a mooch around the range. Didn't have the curtains in that I wanted, so I've ordered them online and paid £2 to pick them up from the store next week.
The girl on customer services needs a little more training though; she told me that store pickups weren't available at the Reading store... and was surprised when I showed her online that it was possible.
M. M.
Getting stuff for my daughter's 1st flat. Pretty good & the prices were competitive. Unlike Dunelm, where there was very little on the shelves & what there was was expensive.
j. w.
It was OK. Got what we wanted. As usual not enough staff, queue at checkout. Good stock tho
J. W.
Huge store with a ton of stock. I guess you could say they have good range if you're that way inclined. I don't particularly agree with the size of Hamster cages they stock as they're a bit small but that's a wider problem than this one store which I happen to quite like.
R. D.
Absolutely love shopping here
P. M.
Popin the Range today. I ask a man assistant for cushions for Arbour so he sent me downstairs. But I was downstairs another assistant a lady called Marie said everything was upstairs she look around and was very helpful it's funny how some people don't want to help and others go out of the way to help.and only one till open
B. N.
This is a good store for odd bits I guess. When you need stuff for a particular season or occasion they will have a good range e.g. Christmas or Halloween decorations. The store layout is awkward with narrow isles in some areas and open spaces in others. The check out counters seem to be an afterthought and the parking lot is an absolute pain.
S. C.
It has a great selection and variety of items under one roof. The prices are good. Service can be a little slow and parking can be difficult at times . I find the shop quite draining and oppressive for me. Perhaps that is due to lack of natural light etc.
2. A.
Good place for some good stuff.. affordable price
M. P.
Excellent "range" as the name suggests. Pretty much most household items you'll ever need, DIY tools, car care, garden furniture, pet care, arts and crafts, toys. In fact there's not a lot they don't do! All reasonably priced too
L. M.
I found everything I needed (new puppy) however many of the products were not priced on the shop floor so it was hard to make choices.
R. B.
Big store, has everything you'd expect from The Range. The only downside is it seems to be perennially understaffed, and queues are always longer than they should be.
A. P.
Nice multipurpose shop. Great collection of wall arts, posters, frames, pictures and other home decor items. They have got furniture and DIY sections as well. And yes, they have got a nice restaurant also.
J.
Well stocked, extremely busy most of the time. Lift to upstairs is pretty much pointless takes you back down once you've reached the top without allowing you to exit.
A. B.
What ever you want to buy related to home decor this is the place in reading staffs are so nice and cordial.. strongly recommended
R. H.
Pallets in the middle of multiple Isles in one area, meaning you have to find the long way round.
Went up to their coffee shop and waited about 5 minutes before someone arrived to serve me (the was no Que just no one at the counter)
H. G.
Variety of cheaper knick-knacks, decorative bits and useful household spares. Can be good value, can be busy, staff helpful, ought to see things in-the-flesh before buying from website. Easy way to pass time mooching around the aisles...
P. R.
Very helpful staff member assisted with loading my car with heavy items. The checkout experience is a little frought with poor layout but this staff member is the reason for my rating. Thanks.
I. I.
Great shop, it's well laid out and has got a good feel to it and you'll find some good stuff in there.
c. w.
Very cool place for house bits and bobs
L. D.
Not as good as it was! Untidy, so many products had no price on, staff walking around not appearing to be doing much. Hopefully it will improve and return to the great store it used to be.
H. J.
I shouldn't be allowed in the range, always want to buy too much. The store was fairly well ordered and not too many people although I went in on a Wednesday. Queue was a bit slow
S. S.
Great place to pick up unusual and stylish homewards, crafty bits and kitchen paraphernalia at very competitive prices. Huge Xmas store with great range of everything you could need from trees to chocolates
D. S.
Big range of products from homewares to kitchenware. Double layer store with travelator ramp to get to top layer. Reasonable prices if you can find a price label! Friendly staff and plenty around to ask. Conveniently located north of the train station with plenty of parking.
S. C.
The same as bracknell half of their Christmas light stock is no longer available especially the hanging lights.
A. H.
Lots of good stuff, but we didnt find what we were looking for. We were looking for a wall light and an umbrella stand. It is an amazing store to wander around, and they have a cafe upstairs .
S. B.
A great place for all the items you need throughout your home. Sadly this store is lacking in staff to assist you and many items don't have a price available for them, so expect a long wait at the till point.
A. L.
Lack of choice in the cafe.
As i cannot eat cheese, 97% of food items had cheese in them. Staff were unwilling to offer anything other than a sausage roll.
B.
The quality of their products is always dubious. Sometimes it's better just to pay more and buy from places like Clas Ohlson. The shop itself from what I saw was manned by friendly staff and was cleaner than other Ranges I've been too.
D. A.
Considerable amount of stock, at great prices. Make sure you allow a bit more time if you're not familiar with the store, because the layout is quite confusing and some of the non-shelf stacked items can get in your way if you're in a rush
D. P.
Always manage to get what I want every time I go in so seem to keep good stock levels, Staff could be a bit quicker but apart from that not a bad store
H. R.
The range, honest pricing but isn't stuck at the bottom/tacky end of things. It's z good place to aim for 'events' shopping, like Halloween & Christmas. For example, the LED light chsibs I found cheaper here than anywhere on the internet for the equivalent.
People are weird about parking on the weekend. They queue for ages to get a spot near the store, causing queueing delays, despite spaces aplenty near the entrance (don't count the TGI-Friday only slots).
G. H.
I have always found the items that I have needed, for my home, here. Very much to temp you but this is also a store where I can purchase just one small, packet of bird seed. If that suits my needs. Or. Purchase huge bags of bird seeds! A gardening haven too.
V. A.
Nice shop that sold everything, starting from home decor to stationary to hobbycraft to food. Helpful customer services staff as well.
j. B.
Great products, lousy price labelling. It seem few items actually are marked with the correct price.
S. X.
Good store. What annoys me are products which are not priced. Not a huge problem, I just don't buy!
A. K.
Great shop if you are looking for something cheap and/or unusual. Loads of homeware, crafts, general domestic stuff as well as garden and food in abundance
A. L. m.
New to the range but have variety of good stuff, bought some spanners here and will be back for some more
C. A.
Lovely store with all you can think of !
H. O. (.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Toilets, available next to the cafe, are usually clean. Displays can be a bit cluttered. The layout might make more sense to them than to a new shopper so ask for help if you can't find what you're looking for.
W. L.
A proper little homewares Aladdin's Cave. Make sure you have plenty of time, as you'll spend way more of it than expected browsing everything from wall art to paint brushes (both decorating and art) to pet supplies, furniture, kitchen equipment, in fact the list is almost endless. All reasonably priced. Oh, and there's a coffee shop too !
K.
So much stuff for the house but also for breakaways. Staff is very friendly and lowest prices you can get. Go for the larger packaging for cleaning equipment
G. B.
They have moved items around so I didn't know where to find things.
It is much more organised than a few months ago though.
L. S.
Love mooching round this store has everything you need.
T. C.
Great range of bargain stuff from giant inflatable Santas through to picture frames and sacks of bird seed. But the checkout is a bit haphazard when there's a queue.
B. W.
This store has a little bit of everything.
Need a can opener - the range
Need new bedding - the range
Want some bits for your garden - the range.
From arts and crafts to pet care.
S. S.
Beautiful Xmas decorations
At reasonable prices
Festive atmosphere
Most of the musical action and light up decorations had run out of batteries so could not see working
Also alot of stuff not priced
A. W.
It is lovely and I very much doubt if you can come complaining that you can't find what you went for. Every thing you need or want Range has it. Good shop to visit.
j. k.
Always a pleasure to visit x
R. S.
Good but never prices on anything, no checkouts open except customer services and staff chatting amongst themselves with no masks on (before masks for shopworkers was compulsory)
M. J.
Great Range of products. Christmas stock is really good. Reasonable prices. Service in the cafe is slow though friendly. Food and drinks are nice
Z. S.
I love this shop, all you need for decorating your rooms or even garden. Only be careful of choices as some of the product not as good quality. This is a really good all round shop. Easy to park.
G. E.
Ver y good place to shop , have what you need
Helpful staff
E. M.
It was a bit disorganised and I couldn't find any staff when I wanted to ask a question. The prices are very reasonable however.
V. V.
Large variety of products, can find pretty much anything you need for house supplies. Store was a bit dirty though and aisles quite thin
J. R.
The visit was a quick one and I got what I wanted, staff were polite and the place was clean, all is good.
J. R.
A real mix of things available from garden stuff to sweets. The cafe is hidden away on the 1st floor and is very good value. The chap who served us was polite and friendly.
w. j.
Everyone can find something for him self
J. M.
This trip was my visit to The Range since lock down and it was well worth a visit. I have always loved to browse at this shop and you still can but in a socially distance way.
T. T.
Customer friendly ,great customer service ,sanitiser when you go into shop
H. H.
Decent stuff, decent prices. Staff always helpful. Not a bad shop!
S. P.
This place has a good variety of things and at varied price ranges. Staff can be a little slow at times.
S. W.
Offers a good selection of different products for all areas of the home at affordable prices. This store however can feel a little crowded in places and sometimes not very well lit. Staff were friendly, but not always knowledgeable.

Really helpful manager!
Went in to find back rests for reading festival. They only had one but the manager discounted it for us and was super helpful.
Unfortunately the back rest broke on first use! Oh well, bad design.

Good range of goods , was looking at some jackets,t shirts and jumpers and none of them were priced. Afraid the store lost a purchase because of this as there were also no staff about to enquire about the prices.
M. L.
Love the Range. Always find what you need here. The staff are really helpful and the shelves are always or almost always stocked.

Good range of products but a lot of things don't have prices on and the queuing system is always an issue there. Always wait too long to pay

The store is like the tardis - small on the outside and huge inside. It sells a huge variety of things including craft items, stationery, household things and there is also a small cafe. Well worth checking out.
A. F.

Good prices but store is tired and poorly maintained. Price discounts are often not included on till computers and require supervisor over-ride slowing down checkout and needs vigliance re making sure you're paying what you think you are
M. F.
Interesting selections of goods to buy, friendly staff and good value. Only wish they would sort out the deafening distorted tannoy sustem.

Lovely shop could have been more people on checkouts and better price markers everything else very good

Cramped - It's a bit like trying to drive a car around a McDonald's but that said, you can easily furnish a whole house for under £100 so gets my vote.
A. C. -. M.
Decent prices, large store which means it's sometimes hard to find a specific item, the exit doors are slow

Products and staff great.
Apart from labels.
Almost nothing has clearly marked price
B. H.
Staff a bit clueless. Finding the entrance to the store is not well signposted, should you come first time, drive much further than seeing the corner of the store. That is the back of the building and you need to drive past this, and then drive backwards in the parking lot.
