THE BIGGEST Oxfam store in the whole of West Yorkshire has just opened in Mirfield.
And apart from a few choice children's garments, clothes are nowhere to be seen.
This is a very different kind of charity shop, a move away from the traditional, high-street sort dominated by racks of things to wear.
Oxfam's not the first good cause to start selling furniture - but this is the first superstore split into separate departments that I've seen.
Deputy manager Tanya Lucas says: "This is Oxfam's fourth.
"The first was in Nottingham, then came Coventry and York. A similar store is planned for Luton."
In Huddersfield Road, next to the Speights lighting shop, the front half of the spacious shop is devoted to furniture.
Much of this comes directly from Ikea at Birstall, once a week. The home giant has agreed to let Oxfam have its unwanted, end-of-line items.
Staff consult the catalogue before they decide how to price things.
For new or very good condition Ikea goods, expect to pay about half the store price.
Oxfam's also had a single lot of Habitat goodies - though most of those have now been sold, and no regular arrangement is in place.
Most of the furniture comes from kind individuals who take advantage of the charity's man-and-van pickup service, and donate good quality furniture from their own homes.
Tanya says: "Now house prices are so high, first-time buyers often have no money or furniture, so our store is great for them.
"We've seen a real mix of people coming in. And they seem to like what they see.
There's a fun, kids' zone the left-hand side of the store with a range of children's clothes plus toys to play with.
There's a range of dining tables and tableware - we noted Ikea glasses and a lot of nice, rustic cookware, plates and bowls.
There's a coffee shop selling Fair Trade coffee, books and - perhaps most interestingly of all - a section selling second-hand washing machines and fridges, reconditioned by Remploy and bought by Oxfam.
Washing machines are priced from £99.
It's definitely worth a trip to check it out - and you could easily spend an hour, even two, browsing for bargains.
There is, of course, a big range of the usual Oxfam Fair Trade gifts, crafts, food and cards.
You've got the satisfaction of giving a big, lump sum of money to charity - and getting something useful and comparatively cheap in return.
It has the potential to raise much more substantial funds than high-street shops ringing up a few pounds here and there, mainly on clothes.
Yet if this new concept is to thrive, it needs volunteers.
Tanya admits the store is struggling with numbers of helpers to make it a success.
"It's so important," she says.
