The Range has released a new collection in stores — and shoppers can’t agree whether to celebrate or condemn the items
Customers visiting The Range remain divided over several ‘ridiculous’ products currently stocked in branches. The retailer is renowned as a comprehensive destination for home furnishings, from linen, drapes and cushions to furniture and wallcoverings.
Numerous outlets also stock electronics and household appliances, establishing them as an essential shop during property refurbishment projects. Another trademark of these shops is their elaborate seasonal presentations, particularly during the festive period, when substantial sections resemble Father Christmas’s workshop.
However, the retailer has faced criticism following the publication of several photographs showcasing their latest merchandise on Facebook, with certain customers struggling to comprehend what they encountered in the post.
