Default TKMaxx-like store near Sydney?

Hi all,

We've decided to leave most of our stuff behind in London as the cost/quality of them is probably not worth the shipping costs. Is there anywhere like TKMaxx in the Sydney area where you can get goodish quality, inexpensive homeware?

Thanks!

Not sure what TKMax is but as the other poster has suggested Target is a good option, or Kmart or Big W.

Good luck

In terms of range, quality and price, I don't think there is any store in Sydney that compares with TK Maxx. Sorry. I miss it!

Don't know the store you're refering to but I believe Fantastic Furniture and John Cootes are pretty good for this type of thing.

The closest I've found to TK Maxx over here is Harris Scarfe. Not sure if there's one in or near Sydney.

Cheers
