Not that this is 2 tables stacked on top of eachother. The 1 table with the mirrored top and crappy paint is still €180.
Is it just woodies in general, or everywhere?
What are you talking about?
It’s clearly Great Value, it says it right there!!
I walked past a “Discount” furniture shop the other day and was literally thinking that I wouldn’t like to see that crap at full price if that’s what the discounted price is!
Your example (and probably that black thing at €400 too) could be made for less than a tenner in China (source, I lived in China for work until very recently)…
*Only* €180
Get ta fuck
Unless that top has some kind of perfectly scratch-proof coating it would be hard to justify even taking it for free. Glass and mirrored tables are impossible to keep from getting scuffed and after that it’s all you’ll ever see, especially when they’re otherwise clean.
You could make a better one out of a tin of roses with the added bonus of it being a lot cheaper and sweets. The markup on stuff in Woodies is ridiculous though, avoid like the plague
Awful looking. Could have lashed a bit of paint on for €180. Take the recycled aluminium appearance off it.
Woodies always inflate the price so they can have a 50% off sale in 28 days. So frustrating. They would make a handy profit selling it for €70 but they have to be greedy.
The state of the table behind it for 400 as well!?
Get out of that shop immediately and never return
I reckon that’s a sign put in the wrong place surely
I recently bought a coffee table for 40, but only a few years ago go the same one for only 20
I’ve pulled better looking stuff out of a skip. Plus it was free.
Vote with your wallet.
Ah but Woodies has always been extortion. They’re super overpriced for what you’re getting. You get that same table in the likes of bargain town for €80-100
It’s not just furniture, it’s everything. Prices for all consumer goods, building materials, fuel and utility bills all gone up?
I’m pretty sure Aldi had gold coloured versions of them for 30 quid not so long ago
This is why I tend to buy furniture in IKEA, it’s a lot cheaper and I actually enjoy putting the stuff together, like a grown up Lego set
Forget the €180, let’s discuss the €400 tiny desk behind it, that looks like it would break if anything was put on it other than that potted plant. 400 like sorry what? Ooooh great value lads. NOTIONS!
I used to work in Woodies and something I noticed is that you should never buy seasonal stock at the very beginning, such as tree’s during Christmas and BBQs and garden furniture during summer. They intentionally mark them with such a high price so when they have a sale, it looks like you’re getting a bargain.
I deliver furniture for a furniture shop. The cost of furniture has increased because of the price of shipping from China to Ireland has gone up by around 300% in the last 2 years. Most stuff comes from China and the east.
Says there it’s a great value
I actually wouldn’t put that garbage in my house if it was free. It looks awful.
And zero effort into presenting it like something worth 180! Just chucked out on the shop floor like it costs 1.80!
Next homeware used to be on the pricey side but now it’s actually on the cheaper side.
Go to Dunnes or SKLUM or Jysk – they are mad cheap
Everything has gone mad, blame it on inflation caused by repeated closures of the economy for two years
It’s ugly as fuck too
The boom is back
Love how they both have “great value” on them like that makes the price alright haha
lol everything here is expensive
I was visiting yesterday from the North (co. Down) and was shocked by prices of everything! I really couldnt afford to live in The Republic of Ireland. Passed a greengrocers, 7 euro for 2kg potatoes, 33K for a used hyundai, 34 euro to park in the spires, 7 euro for a carlsberg, and your houses are a quarter million for a semi.
On the other hand, Dublin looks f*King class. Love what ye all have done with the place. The atmosphere of the place was absolutely buzzing.
I literally bought that black desk a week ago in woodies Galway for €80…. Where are you shopping lad 😂
That is fucking bananas, I wouldn’t even pay 50 quid for that
Has to be a Woodies. Where pricing is done by someone who controls the reality infinity stone
As a dutch guy moving to Ireland i found your furniture prices always ridiculously high.
Especially second hand stuff the prices people dare to ask for like a couch that is almost falling apart is insane.
You could get something better for free off adverts
