    5 Stars Decathlon - I own half the shop! 06/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Something for every sport, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not always in your size, slight damage to some goods

    Having recently spent a lot of time and money in this shop I thought it was time that I shared my experience with you. The shop ------------- The shop I will be reviewing is the one nearest to me in Nottingham situated on the Giltbrook trading estate. There are other stores across the country, check out www.decathlon.co.uk for store locations and opening times. The shop in Nottingham is large with plenty of parking, although it is situated next to an Ikea and Next store so during sales parking can be a bit tricky. The aisles are clearly marked as to what you can find. Almost every type of ... more

    5 Stars A Gold Medal for Decathlon. 11/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Plenty parking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get busy at weekends

    Decathlon, are a relatively new company to the area in which I live, having been open for only a couple of years. They are situated next to Ikea, at Giltbrook, just off the A610, near Nottingham. Parking is plentiful, although it can get very busy at weekends, or when Ikea has a sale. My advice would be to visit during the week if you can, and avoid Bank Holidays and school holidays at all costs. The store is full of sporting equipment, from small things such as ping-pong balls, up to bikes, and gym equipment. It has items from major manufacturers, including Nike, Reebok, and Adidas, and it ... more

    5 Stars Something for everyone 24/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge range of stock

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Decathlon stores are idendified by there big blue sign with clear white writing as you can see from the picture above. Until recently I have never ventured into one of their stores - the reason being I thought it was expensive. I have no idea where I got this impression from but I thought it was. However my opinion has been changed over the last couple of months as a new store has opened up near my work at Junction 9 industrial park at Wednesbury and one of my collegues suggested I went and had a look as I was after some football things for my boyfriend. My fist impression when pulling up ... more

    1 Star What about the sportive spirit ? 15/10/2003
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages see the op

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see the op

    What about the sportive spirit ??? Tonight is a great night to write a little op. I’ve been quite rare these times on ciao as going back to school indeed implies a bit of homework. But here we go for an opinion on the Decathlon shops. I’m really angry because of them but first I’ll present you those shops then I’ll tell you why I’m mad with them. Those shops have opened in France and in Europe generally a couple years ago they are spread all over the country. Some of theses shop are specialized in a kind of sport like running or hitchhiking but most of the times decathlon’s shop sell every ... more

    1 Star Quick review of Decathlon (Shop) by DavidbrownStar 31/05/2007
    I bought a Mountain Bike from Decathlon in 2002 and it was fine, well made, used good components and I had no problems with it. I wore it out and returned to buy a replacement in 2006. This bike looked ok in the shop, but pretty soon it was obvious that it was a pile of Cr&p ! it was made in China, the teeth broke off the cogs, the brakes were useless, the thing started to go rusty, the suspension was a joke, there was no damping so it was extremely uncomfortable. I took it back and they were good ... more

    1 Star Steer well clear of Decathlon 29/10/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Terrible quality, completely unreliable, poor customer service

    To be quite honest the products from Decathlon are so shoddy it's almost beyond belief. I bought a bike from there because it seemed cheap, but within a very short space of time, the handlebars had worked loose, the pedals had fallen off, the lights fell off and smashed, both tyres burst, etc, etc. I took it back to the store on several occasions, and admittedly they did do the repairs, but added insult to injury by trying to blame me and charge me for them! Probably it is worth going to a more reputable store and paying a bit more, and having the peace of mind that the product isn't going to ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Allports under one roof

    Disadvantages Disadvantages products left all over floor

    I went one Sunday to find a maternaty bathing costume.My first impressions were that i couldn,t belive how much stuff was there and everything looks easy to find just walk along untill u reach your sport area and everything you need is there.The down side is everything seams to get left on floor and looks abit messy and the thing that dissapointed me most is that when i came to get my swimming costume i only had 2 designs to choose from and not all the sizes were there.I was expecting with it being a big shop that there would be a lot more than that for me to choose from and the assistanty was ... more

    5 Stars Decathlon store provide Domyos footwear at very cheap prices. 07/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only in white or black

    The Sheffield branch for Decathlon provides a full packed availability of Domyos footwear. This specific footwear aresuitable for casual wearing but also can be used in sporting activities. The price of these is less than £5 making them popular. They are comfortable to wear and are easily located as they are on the end of an isle in a promotional manner. From my point of view if one is looking for cheap footwear which can be wore for different occasions then these are good value for money. However with most products there are flaws. For this product it should be known that it only comes in two ... more
