    Spotlight is huge! They sell loads of things, from art and craft needs to curtains and houseware. Whenever I'm supposed to wait for somebody to come to PS and I know that somebody will take quite a long time to arrive, I always go to Spotlight just to browse around.

    Remember. Just browsing around.

    Yes the place is always in a mess. I once needed to find some jewelry findings (for once I was not just browsing around) and I found that those jewelry findings are stored in different shelves. How annoying. I gotta walk back and forth just to find the ones I want. Worse still, some of the stuff are cracked or damaged. Staff is not helpful either. Well in fact I couldn't find any. Most of them are just sitting on the floor arranging stuff in the shelves.

    And I think some items are simply overpriced. I wanted to buy some cross stitch patterns but my eyes popped out when I saw the price. No need to ask whether I finally bought it or not.

    Repeating the stuff Bobo said in her review... Come to Spotlight IF you have the patience and time to find what you need.

      have to agree with the above that the place is always in a big mess. i was there with my friends trying to look for stuff for decoration and most of the things turn up at the most unexpected places. the staffs there aren't really helping, since they themselves don't even know where exactly are the items we asked for. in the end we had to look for the items ourselves, in the midst of the mess. the items are either mixed up with another or slightly damaged, especially in the crafts section. the only good thing i feel about the place is that they really stock up a large variety of things, and it is a good place to be if you love knitting as they have many brands and colours for yarn, and also the necessary tools.

      but they should really try tidying up the place.

      Spotlight used to have 3-4 stores around Singapore but now they are left with one outlet at Plaza Sing. They sell a large variety of craft items and fabric so you can practically find anything there.... IF you have the patience.

      I hate how the things are always in a mess. The shelves are hardly ever tidy even when you go when they open shop. The items are not packaged properly so it makes it easy for people to tear them out. They don't put out samples for people to see, forcing people to buy blindly or to rip their packaging...

      They have very few staff around this huge store so don't expect help in locating things. not to mention, everytime you go back they would have shifted the things around. Few things remain in the same corner for long.

      Also the prices of some of the items are more expensive... so choose wisely.

      I wouldn't go there if I had a choice... Sometimes only Spotlight stocks up stuff from American brands...
