The Livingroom

Hallalujah, we made a decision and bought our new living room and bedroom furniture! After searching and searching, we decided upon two separate sets here at The Livingroom on Dumbarton Road!
When we stopped in months prior, neither of us had ever been in to this shop. Right as you step in, it’s very welcoming and homely and the staff are quick to say hello which is a nice touch.
Most of the furniture has a bit of a shabby chic feel to it, but the two sets we bought were more on the cozy modern type. We lucked out and the couches we bought were part of a managers special that day and we were able to get a great deal on the bedroom set because we ended up adding an extra piece on.
The staff were really accommodating– we actually walked around the shop discussing our potential purchase for quite sometime. We had loads of questions about delivery and the price of extra furniture added on. Never once were we pressured in to making a decision right then and there which was nice. We actually walked around the west end for a bit and then made the decision to buy what we loved at The Livingroom and headed back.
It took a bit of time to get everything written down and added up, but that was ok. We could have had our couches delivered straight away (at no extra charge), but we wanted everything delivered at once, and we needed to wait for a bedside table to come in to stock. No bother, we’ve been given enough time to find a new home for our old furniture.
All in all, this shop is great. Loads to choose from and all top quality furniture. All wooden pieces have dovetail joineted drawers (which is the only kind we will buy) and everything is reasonably priced. There were other pieces we had our eyes on, so I’m sure we’ll be back when we’re ready to buy more.

We were on our way to other furniture shops in Gt Western Road and, after recommendation from a friend, thought we’d pop first into the Living Room. Well, what a find. Such a lot of really unusual pieces — at a variety of prices.
Staff were really helpful — though happy to leave us browse for as long as we wanted. They helped move things round to help see different options. Then got chatting to the friendly staff (owners?). They took over ownership around 5 years ago — which maybe explains the 2009 review also on here.
Well recommended — will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I were making our way to the Salvation Army furniture store in search of a desk and drawers for our new flat when we noticed this furniture shop across the road and decided to have a wee nosey.
It’s a nice store– much bigger inside then you would think– with absolutely gorgeous wood furniture from big double beds to good, solid chests of drawers.
It’s just such a shame we couldn’t afford any of it. None whatsoever. We also weren’t welcomed by the man behind the counter, who remained on the phone while looking over suspiciously at us. Hmm, maybe he could tell we shop at the Salvation Army. If you do too, then this place is best avoided
