Best place to get houseware (UniKitOut, IKEA, etc.)?

Hi all,

I'm moving to Coventry from Canada this September into a fully furnished apartment but I still need to purchase bedding, some kitchen appliances, etc. The accommodation provider recommended UniKitOut but looking at a map of the area, there's IKEA, Primark, Wilko, and a Home Bargains nearby. I'm familiar with IKEA but are the other stores any good? How do they compare with UniKitOut?

Thanks!

Going to move this one to uni life for you

I've not heard of UniKitOut.

Wilko, seems to be pretty good from what I remember. (my parents gave me stuff)
Charity shops

Cheap and often so ugly no one will be tempted to "borrow " and if things get broken you won't mind.
