Target Furniture Christchurch is the Sydenham branch of Target Furniture, a New Zealand furniture retailer, located at 250 Moorhouse Avenue. The store covers the whole home: living and lounge, dining, bedroom, kids, office and outdoor, with categories running from sofas, sofa beds, coffee tables and barstools through to slat and box-base beds, headboards, mattresses and bedroom storage pieces like the Melve bedside and tallboy.
The range leans practical and family-friendly — bunks like the Casey, a storage sofa like the Bella three-seater, sofa beds like the charcoal Oscar, lift-up storage bed frames like the Sabina, and boxed mattresses such as the soft-feel Restore and the dual-feel Duo, which offers a soft side and a firm side in one pocket spring mattress. Most pieces belong to named ranges, so it is easy to build a coordinated room piece by piece.
Shopping runs across the store and the website: in-stock items are flagged 'Order Today, Shipped Tomorrow*' (conditions apply), free nationwide click & collect is available on every order, and the Hottest Deals sale page is regularly refreshed with marked-down furniture. New customers can take 20% off any full-priced item with the site's coupon, and signing up brings free delivery on a first order. Questions can go through the national line, 0800 TARGET (0800 827438).
Target Furniture's Christchurch branch sits on Moorhouse Avenue in Sydenham, one of the city's long-standing retail strips and an easy drive from the central city. It is the local outpost of Target Furniture, a New Zealand furniture retailer whose range stretches across every room of the house — lounge, dining, bedroom, kids, office and outdoor — and whose full catalogue can be browsed online at targetfurniture.co.nz before you ever set foot in store. Christchurch shoppers get the same set-up as the rest of the country: a national phone line, nationwide delivery and click & collect, and a sale calendar that keeps rotating. The store carries the same ranges you see on the website, so anything you shortlist online can be found and tested in Sydenham.
The floor is organised the way the website is: by room. In Living & Lounge that means sofas in a spread of sizes and colours — the Bella three-seater with built-in storage in light grey, the Anderson three-seater in dark grey — alongside sofa beds like the charcoal Oscar, plus coffee tables, storage ottomans and barstools for the kitchen bench.
The bedroom department covers slat beds and box bases, headboards such as the Kirby in light grey, and space-savers like the Sabina, a queen bed frame whose base lifts to reveal storage underneath. The Melve range adds a two-drawer bedside and a four-drawer tallboy, while for children there is the Casey single-over-single bunk in white and the Emerson single bed frame.
Mattresses get their own billing: the Restore queen, a soft-feel mattress that arrives boxed, and the Duo, a zip-and-flip pocket spring design offering a soft side and a firm side in the one mattress, in king and super king sizes. Dining chairs, home office furniture and outdoor settings round out the mix, with outdoor currently the featured category on the site.
Naming matters here, because most pieces belong to a family — the Bella sofa and Bella ottoman, the Melve bedside and Melve tallboy — so it is straightforward to build a coordinated room piece by piece, or add a matching ottoman to a sofa you already own.
One thing the retailer leans into is availability. In-stock items across the site are flagged 'Order Today, Shipped Tomorrow*' — the asterisk points to terms and conditions, so read the fine print — but the message is clear: much of the range is held in stock rather than made to order, so a new bunk bed or sofa does not have to mean a long wait.
That pairs neatly with free nationwide click & collect: order online, then pick up, or have larger pieces delivered. New customers who sign up to the mailing list also get free delivery on their first order, conditions applying there as well.
Target Furniture runs rolling promotions under the Hottest Deals banner, and the sale page currently reads like a cross-section of the store: the Casey bunk bed, the Restore queen mattress, the Bella storage sofa and its matching ottoman, the Sabina bed frame and the Oscar sofa bed are all among the marked-down picks. On top of the sale, a site coupon takes 20% off any full-priced item, and a Bundle & Save section groups pieces designed to work together. Deals change, so it pays to check what is live before you commit to full price.
Store opening hours are not published online, so it is worth calling 0800 TARGET (0800 827438) to confirm times before heading to Moorhouse Avenue. A practical approach for bigger purchases: measure your space at home, shortlist the pieces on the website, then visit the Sydenham store to sit on the sofas and try the mattresses before ordering. Between the branch, the national phone line and click & collect, the store works whether you are furnishing one corner slowly or setting up a whole house at once.
