“When our civilization is gone and future generations excavate our archeological remains they will find...Bob Ross toaster and panini maker? They will ponder, who was this individual and why did they embellish their bread with his likeness? This and other similar items are available at Hobby Lobby. I ventured in HL today in search of a multi-generational craft. I settled on painting metal containers that we can fill with candy. I decided against painting on glass because, well, breakable. I think the painting/candy eating activity will be just fine. I found all that I needed here, along with other things I don't (see toaster, above) and most of it on sale (sometimes up to 70 percent off). Surprisingly, most of the Easter items were already cleared away for patriotic red white and blue items (Memorial Day? Flag Day? Fourth of July ?).”
“I came, I saw, I conquered! I had a an idea of what I wanted and I looked everywhere for it, Costco, Ross, Kohls, TJ Max, and HomeGoods. I didn’t find the thick faux fur throw anywhere but Home and Beyond and at a wonderful price. Thanks for the deal Ray!”
“The team at Northwest Metalcraft provides expert advice and quality products at very competitive prices. Shane was patient and kind as he walked us through the selection process of our gas fireplace and patio furniture. Shane made my fireplace dreams come true with beautiful brick veneer (expert installation to meet fire safety requirements), bronze doors and conversion from wood burning to gas. The showroom is huge and filled with many made in the USA products to assemble your backyard retreat. I could not be happier with our purchases over the years. We are very thankful for the team of support and expertise in this niche market. Keep up the great experience and look forward to working with you again next year!!!! Wishing you and your family run business continued success.”
“Great customer service from Dan! We were able to schedule delivery for the same week. The delivery service was right on time and very efficient with the set up of both recliners.”
“One of the most enjoyable shopping experiences and some of the best customer service I have ever received for a major purchase. The showroom is super nice and generally quiet so you have the time and space to decide from the multiple styles and price points. The quality of all furniture is excellent, much better than expected, especially when you consider how reasonably priced it is. We purchased a complete bedroom set in August 2023 and there was an odd size issue with the mattress. After a phone call and some pictures, the staff was extremely apologetic and resolved it as quickly as possible by replacing the mattress. And the delivery and installation crew were a pleasure to deal with. Overall, this was a five star experience with Dania. We're definitely looking forward to shopping there again and buying more from Dania.”
“Professionals at work. They delivered my dining room set and set up was extremely efficient. The one knock would be they did not take off their shoes or wear booties, and it was raining so that sucked. But they were great otherwise”
“Our experience at Ethan Allen was superb. Gail help us pick out a chair and recommended a rug pad for our Moroccan rug. All went smoothly. Gail was very accommodating. I highly recommend them.”
“I visited this store a couple time for my new flooring, and I had an exceptional experience thanks to both Brian. They was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Both took their time for my tile floor with young Brian and solid wood floors with older Brian. Young Brian patiently explained and helped me find the perfect choice for my home. His expertise make me so happy with my purchase, and I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for excellent service!
Thanks again both Brian, especially Young Brian.”

“I had the best customer service assistance from Zyia and Jake in pick up. I was running late because of an accident and was not going to make it in time before the store closed. I called to ask if it was still possible to come to pick up because I rented a uhaul and Zyia said it was fine. Jake had our pallet ready and loaded it within minutes. These two gentlemen deserve a raise! I will always use Floor & Decor for all my flooring needs after today. Thank you Zyia and Jake you guys are angels!”
“Jenny & Kevin were a delight to work with and they helped us with the design and made sure we got the award on time. They had very nice pieces to choose from and we would definitely recommend and use them again in the future.”
“I've watched my fair share HGTV shows where the designer goes to some kooky place filled with trinkets and treasures of times gone by. This place is a bit like that but mixed with the early days of Etsy. "Designers" can rent an 8x8 or bigger "storefront" to showcase their unique designs. Mostly stuff reclaimed from decades gone by and redesigned with some kind of flair. There's generally a theme to the different storefronts: women's vintage clothing, funny and lovey-dovey sayings regarding dogs and cats, plastic and silk flowers, dairy and farm, sarcastic sayings, whiskey barrel designs for the men dragged into this place, etc.
My wife and I found a whimsical chip and dip bowl. It was nice and will replace one of the blander versions we have at home.
Truthfully, there were quite a bit of items that were perfect housewarming gifts and gifts for people who have specific decor tastes.
It's also a decent place to just kill some time browsing through all the stuff people have created to get your own creative juices flowing.”

“Love this local boutique store, its so unique! It has everything and anything! You will not find anything like this anywhere. It is colorful, and energetic! The quality of the items are amazing, and the staff are so nice and welcoming! They will help you with anything and will always give you their honest opinion. I love the fact that their staff doesn't pressure you to buy, they give you time to browse and your space ( which i love). It is a wonderful place to find gifts for that special someone or a cute little outfit for a night out! Recommend it to anyone no matter your age.”
“My husband and I bought a brand new couch and recliner for a much needed refresh! We walked in and Rami was so accommodating, helpful, and made really amazing recommendation's. We’ll definitely be coming back because of the amazing experience Bob’s and Rami provided! Thank you!”

“Mohamed provided exceptional service. After visiting three furniture stores with unsatisfactory customer service, we chose Bob's as our final destination. Thanks to Mohamed's excellent assistance, we successfully located and purchased the items we desired.”
“I had a fantastic and personalized experience with Edwards. I visited the shop and spoke with Angel who helped review and curate an order for me. I ordered an arrangement to celebrate a birthday with local delivery. Edwards even accommodated a special request in customization of the arrangement and delivered in good time. The care and condition of the arrangement speaks for itself and received many compliments to the recipient. The delivery piqued interest among others of ordering from Edwards in the future. Thank you for a memorable experience!”
“I really wish that all of the transactions I did for my home were this enjoyable, especially during the pandemic where companies are having a very hard time with inventory and delivery dates.The outdoor products are fabrics are lovely and unique.The entire staff was super friendly and so accommodating. Kristen and Mark were top professionals and delightful to deal with. We will be back to see them in the future!”
“I have been online shopping with Marco at Artistica Italian Gallery - Deruta of Italy for a few years now and always come back happy as ever. His professionalism and his exceptional customer service in conjunction with the masterfully crafted ceramic pieces in store always draws me back to buy more. Thank you always for the suburb experience. "Grazie" as he would say it!!”
“Super cool stuff! Great for gifts and unique home finds. The young lady working there is super knowledgable, helpful, and patient. The buyer/owner needs to be commended for some great, unique finds. A bit pricey, but considering the high rent district, I get it.”
“We used to frame our pictures, paintings, posters in different places until we found The great frame up. From now on this is our favorite framing place because of so many reasons: Sandy and her team are very professional and friendly, have great suggestions. You can find lots of selections , and the place is so beautiful arranged with mixed art. I highly recommend this place, no regrets. Thank you Sandy and your team, Silvia”
“I recently moved to the area and have stopped in a few times. What made me want to write a review is how great our last visit was. We stopped in for some cards and the manager or owner gave our toddler a big candy cane and talked to him about Santa. It was just really sweet and is part of what makes shopping at a non big box store special. I'll definitely be back!”
“I love visiting this Garden Center! I don't live in the area, but when I visit, Pasquesi's is on my list. The plants and shrubs are excellently taken care of. It's a wonderful place to find a gift for my pet sitters. The products they sell are top notch. Definitely add Pasquesi's to your shopping list!”
“The store had very good employees who are well informed and helpful.
I wish that the company provided literature to take home so customers can review the mattresses.”
“A darling shop with everything you could want in very tasteful decor for every holiday. Stopped in again today as I often do and it is now lush with Christmas items that are so unique! High end but not high priced, if you haven't visited, you'll soon wonder why you waited so long!”
“If I could, I would give Upscale Rummage 10 stars! This place is truly amazing. Do you love thrifting? Do you think you've got your thrifting routine all worked out? Do you think you've got your line up of unmissable Chicago thrifts sorted? You are wrong... unless you've already been to Upscale Rummage already and this is your number #1 thrifting experience. No thrift store in Chicago gets even near the fabulousness of this place. It's huge but it is not filled with garbage. New and incredible stuff comes in every week! Great antique and modern furniture, light fixtures, books, records, clothes, jewelry, kitchenware, gardening, sport gears, textiles, rugs, mirrors and art... they also have a year-round Xmas shop and regular department discounts. This shop is also incredibly well curated. Items are very fairly priced too. Rene', the owner, and her army of charming helpers are a true delight. Always smiling and welcoming. We bought so much from this store. It has brought so much joy. We end up there almost every week and rarely leave empty handed. And the money goes to charity. I mean, what more do you want? This is the one and only thrift store in you need. Chicagoans, take a trip to Libertyville and learn how it's done. If you have not been to Upscale Rummage yet, you don't know what thrifting is about. Go. NOW!”
“Its my personal happy place. Excellent staff that are incredibly wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. Chic, stylish, and ready to take home make this my favorite go to place when decorating. Pretend you are in Paris at the flea market and head over!”
“Britt Carter is a wonderful place to shop! We have worked with Shaun to redo our family room and living room- he is knowledgeable, personable and wonderful to work with”
“We had a wonderful time at Steinhafels, kids and all. There are so many options with a comfortable layout to stroll around. Top it off every employee was kind and supportive. We especially enjoyed Calvin, top notch! We bought a couch!”
“Beautiful store with great affordable finds, even better when discounted or on clearance. Smells amazing as you walk in and throughout the store as you shop. Friendly, welcoming staff happy to assist you find what you're looking for.”
“Best Hobby Lobby in the area. The Schaumburg and Palatine locations are good too, BUT HOT DAAAAANG, this Niles location is where the party at. Pretty sure I even saw Phil Wickham twerking in the decor aisle. ?”
“Rueben was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He knows the product very well and was very helpful with mattress choice. Thank you Saatva for hiring Rueben
He is a great representative for your brand!!!”
