“I got an AMAZING vintage modern granite table and Henry Miller chairs here that will be in my dining room forever. They were in perfect condition and so much better built and classier than all of the cheap new furniture out there. And the staff is incredibly helpful and worked with me for delivery!”
“Thank You so much for the excellent work you did on our 1920's Hall Clock. It's now working just as it did the day it was purchased at Marshall Fields back then. Thank You”
“Such a little gem! So reasonably priced, so many good finds in these three small buildings. Bobbie and her husband were so sweet, offered us cookies, coffee and great conversation. Will be back very soon ?”

“Greg reupholstered my headboard, and it turned out phenomenal! He did quality work, was very accommodating, and was reasonably priced. I will be back for future upholstery jobs!

I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”

“A hidden gem in Hinsdale! This unique store sells higher-end furniture and decor with 100% of the profits benefitting Wellness House, which provides support and services for those with, or affected by, cancer. Volunteers staff the store and there is new inventory weekly. Shopping here is a win-win!”
“To the 1 star review who wondered if they weren’t greeted because of their skin color, I can share I (a visibly brown person) spent hours here and no one was greeted no matter who they were or their skin color. That doesn’t bother me at all, I like being left alone to browse, but wanted to reassure people who may have been put off. Because if you ask any questions, you will get the warmest friendliest service ever. I’m so happy I discovered this place, the furniture is incredible and mostly from estate sales so very high quality stuff. I plan to visit at least a few times a month since they turn over so much stuff.”
“Brought our antique couch back to life! Impeccable stitching and attention to detail. Fair pricing and quick turnaround, definitely will call them again for any of my upholstery needs.”
“It seems there’s a new owner running the store. There was an amazing vinyl record collection which was priced really well. Also some retro turntables and receivers there that looked to be in great shape.”
“The best vintage selection and prices in the Chicago area thanks to the year-round sourcing and expert curation of the independent dealers who work diligently to make the Emporium the success story it is.
The human side of the Emporium's story is equally impressive. The dealers clearly love what they do and bring an eclectic mix of specialties to the Emporium's incomparable selection of vintage treasures. This keeps the inventory fresh, interesting, and diverse.
Speaking of diversity, the Emporium's dealers come from different ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds. The Emporium reflects a modern, inclusive mindset grounded in the rich history of the USA. Customers are welcome regardless of their race, color, creed, or vintage shopping experience.
The dealers themselves staff the front checkout counter on a shared schedule. They want the best outcomes for customers and the Emporium, and treat customers accordingly. The atmosphere is friendly and helpful even at the busiest times.
Using reviews to put forth vague victim narratives reflects a chip on one person's shoulder, not the proven Emporium experience which is one of courtesy, civility, and joy for customers and dealers alike.”
“LOTS of stuff. You can find some decent antique furniture among other things. The place is really big and it has some older retail equipment etc. Worth a look. Parking was fine too.”
“Attended midnight madness, it was getting pretty busy in the evening. I hope they did well. Seemed there were lots of happy shoppers. I found a few antique bells ? as gift toppers. Will circle through again.”
