    just back from a visit to big mickeys :eek:
    wow is all I can saw, we walked around looking a loads of furniture and as we walked around we found a bed we liked asked him about it, he brought us down and proceeded to tell us all about it. he then told us no matter what he tells us the price it will sell itself.

    superkingsize bed with one huge matteress that you'd need a stepladder to get onto the bed with for less than the price of a lump of wood from bargain******town.

    What a man, very nice, offered us tea or coffee and will do anything to cope with any budget.
    Cannot recommend enough. my suggestion is to never go near a clearys or hardly normal or anything like that just take a trip down and see him.

    Ordered a 4 foot bed from Big Mickey last month, and all I can say is that the price and service was exemplary!

    Excellent bed, price and delivery.

    Cheers Mickey-Man!

    corner units, wardrobes sofas, tables. beds. socks. andrex. you name it he has it. and anything he has is solid built unlike the crap you can get for more money in other stores. take a trip down. he said he might open next weekend. I would advise giving him a buzz.

    Emailed Michael yesterday and he's delivering free of charge this evening to Sligo! It's not a big sale either (but cheaper than local shops) so fair play to him.

    Thanks to the OP for the recommendation.

    our monster super king size bed arrived today. the 2 lads delivering it were done and all within 10 minutes. gave them a little something to take home and something for mickey as well ;)

    all I can say is the bed is massive, really well worth the money we paid for it and to think someone used to pay 4.5k for this bed :eek:

    Just want to add my appreciation to this thread. Bought king size Slient Night Miratex & double Rest Assured Hartwell pkt 1400 mattresses off him for a great price. Based on the rave reviews here I had confidence to place the order over the phone without even seeing the mattresses and he personally delivered them to me today, 1 day after I ordered them and he was supposed to be finished up for Xmas and had no other deliveries to Dublin. In his own words "my word is my bond"! Great guy to deal with and superb customer service. Called me when he was leaving Longford and texted me after passing each town along the way to give me enough time to leave work and meet him.

    Highly recommend and can't wait to try out my new mattresses!

    Cheers Mick and Merry Xmas all! :D

    Hi - I first heard about this from my brother who works in Athlone when I mentioned to him that we would more than likely need a new sofa soon. He mentioned that loads of people from his workplace had purchased from mickeys and he said that even though it may be a little drive for me (Dublin), he said it may be worth it. Think from these posts that I'll definitely look here first. We know what we want and need (have young child and 2 dogs so you can well imagine).

    Has anyone bought sofas from him of this type or can let me know if there's good choice in 3&2's?

    Thanks

    Read back through the thread and see just how many long time users of boards are here with their feedback too. Is this a "Big Mickey" Conspiracy theory? Over 21000 hits on this thread might contradict your theory methinks.:rolleyes:

    21000 hits may have something to do with newbie posters bumping the thread

    "how do i get this great product/ service"
