Not as good as it used to be and poor quality

Note that this review is more than 6 months old and the company's procedures may have changed considerably since this review was written.
Over the last few years Zara has produced some nicely designed menswear but I believe it has lost its edge in the last year or two - its clothes look a lot more similar to other high street stores. My greatest complaint though is the knitwear - almost every jumper and cardigan I have bought and it's taken me 6 or 7 to finally give up, has come apart at the seams. I don't know if it's due to cheap thread or poor quality workmanship but I know I would never buy another one from this shop. It also seems to be a common trait for this shop to have long queues and slow service from its staff - more so than its competitors. The new website looks pretty good but the homeware designs are not strong enough - there is not much flair here.
