31 Seymour Ave, Grayslake“I went here on a whim and made my first big purchases for my new condo. First time moving out isn’t easy but they made it easy! I had such a positive experience with the whole staff there - even the delivery guys! The first couch I purchased didnt fit through the entrance. The delivery guys tried their best but it was too big. Thankfully he called right away and told me they had 2 smaller ones to look at. I got my new couch the next day and it’s perfect. I can’t recommend My Family Furniture enough!”
“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.”
“I worked with Rafee and he was great. I had shopped around and felt very pushed into buying things elsewhere. Rafee wasn’t pushy at all. They had great prices and he worked with me on finding exactly what I wanted. They shipped it same day and put it together for us. It was a great experience and would highly recommend!”

901 Main St, Antioch“Beautiful shop located right in downtown Antioch, where you can find a variety of gifts snd unique vintage furniture to accent a space. Paint classess offered as well. Will stop in again.”
“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!”

500 3rd St, Libertyville“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!”
“Very friendly people and so many beautiful things they have. Bought 7 waxed amaryllis for Christmas gifts and they are beautiful. I was given one as a present in October and it is beautiful and amazing.”

6116 Grand Ave, Gurnee“Jennifer and Micaela in customer service are the best. I had an issue with a piece of furniture being delayed, and those girls made sure to make it right. I have basically furnished my last two house with furniture from Value City. You cant go wrong shopping here.”
“Terry R. is an outstanding Lazy Boy employee! Took plenty of time with us as we decided about our purchase. Explained everything from top to bottom and left us with an exceptional experience!”
“Very eclectic collection at this location. I came in for whiskey glasses and candles, and I was able to find it. Im sure whatever knickknacks or trinkets you need are here. The only reason I can't give a five-star is the lack of signage for the ailes. It is difficult to find what you need in here because of it.”
9:30AM - 9:30PM
3000 W Illinois-60, Mundelein“Update:They have changes the store layout a little. Seems they have moved clearance to the front. Not liking the selection.. may have missed what i wanted as there were not full sets of plates..Still on the lookout for those elusive golden franchise's. Love to visit ans see wht they are trying to hide each day.”
“Cute stuff and GREAT prices! Everything was so reasonable priced!!! Such beautiful pieces and stuff was in great condition. I'll definitely be coming here regularly.”
9:30AM - 9:30PM
3000 IL-60, Mundelein“Love when they combine HomeGoods with a tjmaxx or a Marshall’s! HomeGoods always has something g you need or want ?❤️ hard to go in and not leave with something!”
9:30AM - 9PM
6128 Grand Ave, Gurnee“This place has a good selection, but it is really overwhelming and unorganized. We went on a Saturday but there were no carts anywhere to be found.
Also was hard to find a person that worked there to help, and while there is a larger selection at the combined store it was really congested. It just seemed like there was a lot of unorganization and disarray. Now this could be because we went on a Saturday, but Ive been to a lot of stand alone Home Goods and it didnt feel the same.”
“We had a wonderful time working with Shannon! She is very knowledgeable, sweet and easy to talk to. Listened to our needs and put us in the perfect bed! Can’t wait to sleep in it! Thank YOU Shannon!!!”
6AM - 7PM
6100 W Grand Ave, Gurnee“Floor & Decor really has the largest selection, best prices and amazing customer service. Sarahi gave us the best price! I'm due in 2 weeks and decided now was the perfect time to redo floors. I thought shipping would be quick but it turned out to be 2-3 weeks. This location only had 27 out of the 59 boxes we needed so I was in panic mode. Sarahi went above and beyond calling other locations not only for stock but also to match the price! I am forever grateful for all of Sarahi assistance! Going to only use Floor & Decor for all my future flooring needs!”
10AM - 9PM
6148 Grand Ave, Gurnee“I was talking to a Hispanic salesperson and off the bat he wasn't transparent. Shoo away the sales people look for what you want then do some online research ask questions leave go back some time later and see if the answers match and take the best price”
6AM - 10PM
1400 S N US Hwy 12, Fox Lake“I have been to this Menards probably a few hundred times in 5 years! I did multiple renovations and indoor, outdoor projects. I have used the pick-up service and contractor team in the back and have been in the yard many times.
I can't remember ever having a bad experience. Fortunately, my knowledge is probably levels above most of the employees, so I do not need their help as much as others.
When I need a thing-a-ma-jig, I know where to go in the store. The only thing I do not shop for is tools! For that, I go to other stores. Maybe that section has gotten better, but I do not venture into those isles. I will buy smaller bits and blades if I need them.
Clean store, friendly staff, and a food and candy section better than any other hardware store!”
9:30AM - 11PM
6901 W Grand Ave, Gurnee“The staff is usually nice. The store is more organized than most but could use a little improvement. Parking is adequate. Also, they have a decent home section with cute decor options. Overall, 8/10 experience”
“Definitely not a thrift store and more of a resale shop but would be my new go to place for a last-minute party dress or a thoughtful gift. Would love to see more kids options in the near future. When I went I bought out almost all they had for girls clothes.”
