From the outside this second-​hand furniture shop doesn’t look like much – but nosey your way though the raggedy entrance, past the offices, and you will find yourself in an enormous vault of housewares. The quality and range of furniture here is excellent, and the prices make each item a fantastic value. Not only that, but it’s run largely by volunteers with profits going to help the homeless.
Although it looks modest and homely, (especially with Ibrox looming over it across the street), this really is a treasure trove of used goods that will spruce up your home *and* help a worthy charity!
