Design Essentials Southern Africa

Lots of variety, friendly service good pricing, negotiable!

Really amazingly good prices on a mind bogglingly wide range of thing from crockery to hardware to cell accessories to toys to stationary and more. Just amazing, and I must repeat, the prices are really, really good.

I always go to this shop as it had a lot of varieties but i had a sour experience with them today.I got things worth R580 from them . I went back back 15 mins later to get a refund for the alphabets i got for my child. I was told there was no refund they only do exchanges. I did not want an exchange because i did not need the alphabet anymore. I asked them to show me where it is written no refunds. They showed me on the receipt.i also saw no guarantee on the receipt and i was told there was no guarantee with their goods. That is day light robbery because why would i buy sometime wit that had no guarantee? I will never go there again. I advice you rather go to a shop that has guarantee on their goods.

Love Home Essentials, prices are great and the variety is awesome. With some of the items, expect what you pay for

They have a good range of items for sale at a reasonable price compared to retail shops.

I went to this shop to buy a lock , I went back 20 mins later to get a refund/ exchange for the lock that doesn’t work. I was told there was no refund nor exchanges as the product was opened. How else would someone see if the item is working if it is not opened??

Very cost effective with acceptable quality and a very diverse range of products sourced from the China and the Far East.

Huge variety of items. Great experience overall

Very dissatisfied. Bought a R 280 shoe rack. It broke after 2 months. They refused to exchange it, not even the broken parts. They wanted us to buy a new one - ridiculous. They said thier display shoe rack has not broken in 2 years - their shoe rack is empty. I will never buy from them again. Not recommend at all.

It's the place to go for All your Chinatown stuff, everything and anything you need, gadgets galore, good prices, worth a visit
