Second Time Around London,

60 Lower Clapton Road, London E5 0RN

"I came in here and found some high quality furniture for a price I was really happy with so I told my mate Michael "pay the man Michael" and we left very happy indeed"

"I don't typically post reviews but here I am. I popped in today on my way home from a meeting after passing the shop maybe 300 times on the bus and wondering if it'd be worth my time, not really expecting to find anything as the store is quite small. Oh, how wrong I was. I spotted a little oak bedside table nestled under another table and just had to buy it. The litlle gem only cost me £85 + £10 delivery and was even delivered about 3 hours after purchase! What an amazing find and the three men I dealt with (manager, trainee shop assistant and driver) were all lovely. The driver even carried the table up the steps leading up to the front door for me. I'll definitely be back again soon, as I'm still on the hunt for more oak-y goodness. I can't recommend this place enough."

"Small selection but very friendly and fast delivery. They delivered a wardrobe the same day and moved it up two flights of narrow winding stairs with no damage."

"Quirky little second hand furniture shop in the heart of Clapton/ Hackney. Many first time visitors mistake the shop for a charity shop however it is most certainly not. The items on sale are always of good quality and most times even better than the flatpack furniture that you can get through big brand stores such as argos or ikea. The materials used in antique and second hand stuff often times are far more durable and hold together better than furniture built for mass production chain stores. You can even at times see specialist items like pianos, bikes, and exercise equipment here! Overall a very interesting shop."

"I have given this shop a low rating because of their lack of facilities for depositing donated items in a dry, safe place. Being told to leave items in the outdoor, bric-a brac area of the site is not acceptable in my opinion and shows insufficient concern for the future saleability of items such as books and puzzles which are obviously going to get ruined in the event of a sudden downpour. I shall in future donate only to charity shops where items will be gratefully received, looked after and sold to raise money for a good cause."
