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.

This place is a treasure, for sure. It holds a well-edited collection of tabletop and gift items that enhance any home. If you live close by, you are fortunate; if you don't, it's worth a trip. I am continuously surprised and delighted by the creative and unique items in this shop. A real find!

This was our first time here. They used to be in a different space and we walked in to just take a peek. Staff was nice. Place is small but you can move around without feeling too nervous to knock anything down. We did end up purchasing a gift and they wrapped it very nicely and again, no extra charge!

We love Adesso! We had one of our wedding registries at Adesso and the entire staff was delight to work with. If you are looking for new china, little specialty gift items and beautiful Judaica pieces - go to Adesso. And say hello to Andrea - she is absolutely wonderful. Thanks to everyone there. We will keep coming back to Highland Park!

Fired Works is a wonderful, creative environment to feel comfortable to do various types of projects that are very enjoyable, relaxing and satisfying. I have made many ceramic and mosaic projects that I both enjoyed creating and then using. Sharon, the proprietor is very helpful and makes you feel comfortable to undertake new projects. She helps when you want help, and lets you work independently if you want to.

I walked into this store about 10 minutes before they closed and told the saleswoman I would be quick because I knew they were about to close. From the moment I walked in the woman was extremely helpful and walked me over to the dinnerware I was interested in, and brought out multiple dishes that I could mix and match to complete my collection. She was extremely helpful, and even pointed out different options including colors that worked better together and how to mix between different brands I liked. She was very easy to work with and extremely knowledgable about the variety of brands and options. I intend to return to the store in order to look at the dinnerware further. I am also planning on looking at the other brands and silverware pieces that they have. The rest of the store (from the quick look that I got) seemed to have a lot of interesting, unique high end home pieces. There is also free two hour parking nearby in case you drive.

This store carries such beautiful and interesting home decor pieces and gorgeous dinner and flat wear. I experienced superb customer service from their staff, and assistance directly from the owner who is very talented when it comes to design and combining pieces for the optimal look. I can't recommend Adesso enough!

You can always find the most tasteful gifts at Adesso for any special day. Looking for a wedding gift? Housewarming? Hostess gift? Something an anniversary? Something to treat yourself? I hv never gone in there looking for a gift and wound up finding spectacular and gifting myself as well. Taste level is very high.

Whenever I need a gift for an occasion or for something I need around the house, I always go to Adesso. They carry a wide range of beautiful merchandise at all price points. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable and I recommend that the next time you need a gift or something special for your home that you shop at Adesso.

On July 12, 2010, I was at Adesso in Highland Park, IL. I asked an employee for the measurements of an item. Rather than removing the item from the table display to properly measure, she tried to hold the tape measure up to the display. She told me it was 60". I got it home and it did not fit. I called within 15 min of making the purchase. The woman then said it was actually 63". I said I had to return the item. She told me I can only return for a store credit! I paid cash, the error was hers, and I don't get my money back??? She said that's the store policy- credit ONLY. I was told I would have to talk to the manager the next day. I decided to properly measure the item myself. It was actually 78"!!! I called Adesso again. I asked the sales-women to repeat the measurements. She said 63". I then told her "I just measured and it is actually 78"!!! "So I assume I can now come in for my refund!" She had the audacity to still say I would have to talk to a manager the next day. I again told her it was her mistake and not mine. She would not budge. After 3 phone calls, about 5 minutes of going back and forth trying to get a refund, she says that her sales associate is telling her they can void out the purchase and I can return it. She made no apologies for their lack of professional conduct or for my aggravation due to her error. I will never shop at Adesso in Highland Park again :) When a business hires idiots - it only reflects on the store directly.
