Overall Ratings

Junk Deluxe are a double act, Benjamin, who has a particular penchant for anything industrial, metal, and modernist, and Hayley, who has an eye for off the wall, quirky items, that your Gran definitely never owned. Based in Margate, Kent, Junk Deluxe focuses on affordable modern design. Specialising in furniture and lighting, they stock items from the modernist 1930's, right up to the exuberant, quality conscious 1980s, and anywhere excellent in between.Junk Deluxe is deeply hidden within another shop, on a residential street, so it's best to come prepared with a map. Upon finding the shop, customers are usually surprised to discover a shop not filled with the usual mid century design cliches, but an array of unique and novel items that they have probably never seen before, and are unlikely to see again.

I remember this shop from many years ago when it was still a chemist and always loved the old medicine drawers that line the back wall. It’s lovely that the character of the original shop has been retained and they are still there. Arrowsmiths started as a small quirky gift shop and over the years has grown into a truly unique style of gift shop. You can sometimes pick up a cheaper little bargain but on the whole it’s not what most would call cheap. I am a firm believer that you do get what you pay for and it’s evident here. I live in Broadstairs and have been shopping at Arrowsmiths for years, often going in just to wander and “oo that’s lovely” at the gifts; but usually coming out with something! The staff that run the shop are lovely, so helpful and chatty which I find really nice. They’ve worked hard to become the amazing place it is and long may they do well in Broadstairs.
