This shop has everything you would ever need.
They stock everything from furniture to arts and craft materials. Plants to camping equipment.

It is well laid out and offers plenty of space to walk around.
The store is well staffed and has allocated spaces for parking right outside the front of the shop.

They update the ranges that they stock regularly and the staff seem happy to help.

The only problem is that sometimes items are not clearly marked and do not have labels on them showing the price, but this is easily solved as they have several 'price checker points' located around the store, where you can scan the items barcode to find out the correct price which cuts shopping time in half.

All in all, a good place to shop and a wide variety of products.

The Range is abit like a down-market Ikea, but I find it hugely useful. It is in a big (but not too big) warehouse just outside the main shopping area of Exeter, but only a couple of minutes away by car, and down on the quay with a large car parkand next to Matalan and the superbowl place. It sells a huge range of household things from housewares to furniture, paint, tools, gardening and pet things, mirrors, lighting, furnishing fabrics, storage solutions, frames, art supplies, games etc etc. As well as having bought a number of basic things here such as washing up bowls, I've actually got a few very nice bits of furniture. A pretty white wicker chest for a bathroom (similar to The White Company one but much cheaper) and a stylish pine cupboard (which I subsequently painted to match something) and it looks fab, were my last major buys. Lots of really tacky stuff, but keep looking. Sometimes abit difficult to find staff to help.

Such a "range" to review here, from plastic containers of all shapes and sizes, to home decorations, to artistic materials, to furniture, and I've only scratched the surface.Buy a parking ticket, and keep the receipt to claim a refund should you choose to buy something(s).

'Le Range' (it adds mystique) as it is known in our house is great for garden plants and pots - the stock levels are a bit variable and they do sometimes seem a little lax on watering the plants so they are quite often crispy in the summer. The other range of stock in store is generally good value for money. Good selection of cookware, picture frames and art materials at good prices. I find I can't stay in there for too long and the car park situation can be a bit of a pain but if I take a deep breath I normally get what I wanted.

Seriously, I have lost several hours of my life in here. Once I'm in, I stay in. I could wander around here all day If my girlfriend didn't nag me to hurry up.The arts & craft section is my home of choice, where I get all my canvasses from. This section has everything you might ever need.Then, when I'm ready I take a nice leisurely stroll over to the garden section, in which I size up new plants for my garden.By this time, I need a bit of a sit down, so I go upstairs and have a drink in their cafe. Then I wonder around the furniture section on the first floor. (I love to try out the armchairs, especially the really nice leather swivel one).On my way out I have a look through the kitchenware area, then take a final stab at the atmospheric music thing (CD's of rain, thunder, wind sounds etc). I leave the thunder CD playing quite loudly, then leave feeling happy and refreshed.

Large store over two floors. This branch stocks plenty of stationery, craft packs & artist's materials. Lovely & well priced canavases too.There is a small furniture section - which is rather costly. Lots of bed linen on offer & sewing bits & bobs. Lacrge DIY & decoration section, with good range of paints, rollers & paper. Also, some great candles & kitchenware. The cafe is kept clean & tidy, however, the staff are alittle 'jaded' by their jobs or so it seems. Large garden section - good sales on plants & garden care products. Also a large confectionary section, stocking seasonal gifts.

I love this shop it stocks a wide range of items from art and kitchen equipment right through to plants. I buy my canvases and paints from here and always find a good selection of sizes at reasonable prices. Upstairs is a furniture department and lots of cushions and curtains, even rolls of material if you wanting to make you own soft furnishings. Although this shop is excellent value for money it is very difficult not to buy a lot more than you originally went in for !

This shop is brilliant, everything you can think of from kitchen - camping accessories and beyond.....There's a nice little cafe within the shop so you can have a break to rest you legs. They always have the seasonal accessories around at those special times each year, which is nice to see. Customer service could be a little better, otherwise dont let that put you off. Very reasonable costings.
