“A very cozy nice store. Grabbed some supplies with my boyfriend and a book. Saw this place online when I was planning my trip and decided to stop in. Lots of great perfumes and oils as well as supplies for whatever Craft you practice. Also loved the sign on the door (the ICE keep out sign) as well as the Santa Muerte in the window.”
“Such a wonderful place with so much to explore! I could spend hours looking around in here. Their employees Anne and Bruno were so friendly and helpful. Really fun environment to be in and I found some wonderful treasures :)”
“As soon as you walk into Beautiful Rugs, you can tell you're getting a first-class experience with incredible quality pieces. Moe is so unbelievably helpful and knowledgeable and takes his time to find exactly what you're looking for. The only problem is he will give you so many stunning options to choose from that it's so hard to make a decision which one you'll go with! Our decision got so difficult we ended up getting two absolutely stunning Persian rugs!
But it doesn't stop at the quality-- not only did Moe hand deliver our rugs once purchased, but when we had a question about one of the rugs after delivery, he came by in person the next day and talked us through our question.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Moe and his beautiful store. I'll never hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who needs a rug or rug cleaning!”

“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!”
“I happened upon this treasure of a place while walking today . It's everything an antique should be: interesting and unusual merchandise, reasonable prices. an affable owner and Sophie , his charming dog .”
“The nicest and most helpful sports card people!!! Best sports card selection in the city.
They helped me last minute with soccer cards for my 8 year old son. So friendly and I cannot recommend these awesome people enough!!! I would give them 100 stats if I could.”
“It had been many years since my last visit. Spanning three floors, it seems Dalvage One has found a balance between being an architectural salvage location and an event space. Much of the first and second floors is dedicated to weddings and parties. Still a very fun placevto explore in.”

“Such a charming little shop! Mercantile M has such a unique mix of gifts, home goods, and beautifully curated items — it’s one of those places where you walk in “just to look” and always end up finding something special. Everything feels thoughtfully selected, from candles and cards to handmade goods and stylish home accents.
The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They’re always happy to help you find the perfect gift or offer suggestions without ever being pushy. It has that cozy, local feel that makes you want to keep coming back.”
“Vintage Grind House is one of the best antique shops in Chicago. They have a wide array of beautiful furniture and art and they even offer upholstery services
I highly recommend Vintage Grindhouse and I can’t wait to see their new location!”
“NOT your usual antiques shop! The selection and finds one can buy are always truly astonishing: Just browsing is an exciting adventure, imagining the objects’ past lives, and being amazed at the inventions and whatnot of yesteryear. The owners are super helpful and always a delight to chat with. The place is so well-kept and clean, and has lots of welcome sunlight to make the mood so cheery here.”
“a must visit!
they have an amazing selection of records, an interesting selection of literature (i had to buy a book, cool stuff) and a cute puppy at the entrance :)
they played records while I was there, creating a fun atmosphere as I browsed through their selections. I’ll definitely be back.”
“I am over the moon happy with my new Grundig counsel. I had been admiring Harlequin Vintage through socials for a while and I reached out explaining what I was looking for. Dave responded he just so happened to have the exact piece I was looking for! The sound is amazing. I had used his white-glove delivery service and was extremely impressed! Reliving the sound of music I listened to growing up and remembering my parents dancing....priceless. Thank you, Dave!!!”
“Absolutely recommend 100%. I was tasked by my grandma to have a doll restrung. I was about to ship it to another company for much much more $$$. I didn’t know so I assumed that’s what it costs. I confirmed the address to ship it to and that company never responded. I reached out to GIGI’s. Emailed me back quickly. Very reasonable price. Told me how to ship it. Was returned fixed to me within about a week. Was very happy with it. The doll owner is very happy as well?.”

“We used Zap props for our wedding reception. Our theme was “Time Travel” and we wanted the kitchen to look like a 1950s diner. Zap props helped us out. They were easy to work with and affordable. We had to pick up our own props but when we arrived they helped us load the larger items and unload them when we got back. Overall it was seem less. I would highly recommend the for any event prop rentals.”
“They have stunning pieces and they prioritize accessible pricing. The owner Jon is also super knowledgeable. I love supporting people who stand by their principles and these guys are the real deal!”

“Super cute shop in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square. I’ve purchased a few items including a vintage refurbished desk and their super warm washable wool blankets.I’m giving it 4 stars because they’ve started selling more “new” furniture and less vintage or refurbished furniture - which isn’t my thing.The staff have always been super helpful and knowledgeable about all of their products, so if you have questions they will definitely have answers.Make sure to check out this local shop, I’m sure you’ll find something you enjoy.”
“Antique Resources is a true gem of a destination for European antiques of the highest quality. Visiting their vast showroom, one is immediately impressed by not only the friendly, courteous and knowledgeable Staff, but also the vast selection of carefully selected, superb items of exceptional beauty and historical value. The pricing is both fair and reasonable, particularly because of the quality and rarity of the items. If one has a love for the best and the beautiful, a visit is an absolute necessity.”

They have vintage everything: clothes, furniture, home goods. Also an enormous supply of Halloween and cos-play costumes, A definite must visit for any thrift lover!”

“Rudy, the owner, super helpful guy. I called with questions about movie theater chairs and he graciously offered his time and expertise. If you want someone knowledge and honest, I highly recommend Lazy Dog Antique.”
“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.”
“This is one of the most wonderful places I've ever been Ben waited on us and treated us completely Fair I will always go back there when I want to have an item checked out”
“I was looking for a place to sell my old wedding ring, so I began googling for places in Chicago. After reading SO many positive reviews, I had to see for myself if they were true - and they 100% were!! Rose Estate Jewelers, and especially Joe, are SO easy to work with: friendly, approachable, welcoming, non-intimidating, open, and knowledgeable! Not only did Joe give me a great price for my ring, he understood how much my jewelry meant to me and treated it with such care and respect. If I could go back in time, I would have purchased my original wedding ring from them!! Thank you Joe and team!”
