21/8/2012.After 14 years of trading Steptoes has sadly closed. The owner has gone to live in Australia. They will be missed by many regular customers.

You never know what you’re going to find in here. From tables, chairs and wardrobes to pieces of art and wall hangings. The man that runs it is really nice and his dog is usually hanging around the shop too, has a nice homely feel to it. It’s much bigger than it looks from the outside, so if you happen to be in the area go have a nosey.

Steptoes is a ‘cave of wonders’! From vintage furniture to picture frames, fireplaces and loads of unusual items. We recently got a 1950’s radio and 10 picture frames for £20! The guy that works there is lovely and prices are really reasonable so it’s a haggle-free zone. You could spend hours in steptoes, we’re addicted! Great if you’re students or a young couple in a new flat! He gets ikea furniture as well as vintage stuff. Worth a visit!

Steptoes is really a cheap furniture shop and you can pick up a good number of decent items at very little cost to your pocket from here.
Whatever you want, be it a chair, table or desk you get a wide variety of choice from bog standard to slightly more special and all the way up to something a bit unique. For example, they have a desk with a green fabric top like those old bank managers used to have as their desks for £100, which would be quite an item if cleaned up a bit (and by this mean a bit of polish and elbow grease).
Some of the items could use a bit of a polish and a clean, but the prices reflect this so a quick clean by your own hand will give you a bargain.

If I hadn’t made an effort to visit a friend on this street I would have never known this place existed. It’s a small underground furniture store with great surprises and amazing bargains. Most of its furniture are antiques and there is always a good deal to pick up.
My friend got this GORGEOUS old trunk suitcase she uses to keep her clothes in. Beats the plastic container boxes by far. They are constantly changing their stock and it’s almost like a hidden treasure trove.
Well worth a look in if you are in the area!

Steptoes is a pretty good place to pick up furniture in Edinburgh. It’s right by my office so I go in occasionally after work. Once I bought a really nice big oak mirror for £70 and another time I got an office desk for my son to study at, but I don’t remember how much that was. The stock tends to vary week to week: sometimes it’s quite high-end antique stuff and sometimes it’s more house/office clearance stuff (like the desk was).

Steptoes is in essence a second hand furniture shop– the guy who runs it does house clearances then sells what he gets at really reasonable prices. I’ve picked up a dining table, a coffee table and a bookcase for £35 before, and have also found other gems such as a bart simpson skateboard, assorted picture frames and– my personal favourite– a super 8 camera! Sweeeet. We had a dinner party for 15 at my flat before Christmas and didn’t have enough table space at ALL and the owner let us borrow a table for the night for £5, and he helped get it up to our top floor flat. A great shop run by a great guy.
