Design Within Reach is a modern furniture and home decor retailer known for its extensive collection of iconic pieces from renowned designers. The Chicago Studio, one of the brand's largest locations, occupies a newly renovated building in the vibrant Lincoln Park neighborhood, offering ample space to display furniture and accessories in creative settings. The studio features several eye-catching elements, including a "Light Cloud" of pendant light fixtures and a "Dining Test Lab" where customers can test-drive over 50 classic dining chairs. The "Design Library Swatch Wall" showcases an impressive collection of 300-plus upholstery tiles, allowing customers to envision how the pieces might fit in their own homes. The staff is described as very helpful and friendly, with one customer praising their designer, Brian Parsons, for his exceptional service and expertise in interior design. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the high prices and the quality of the furniture, suggesting that the construction may not always justify the cost.

The best collection under one roof for modern furniture, lighting, accessories including iconic pieces from Herman Miller, Knoll, etc. Not for the traditionally minded. Very helpful, friendly staff.

Selection was okay but construction quality and prices are really of the mark. I could almost understand the enormously high furniture prices these days of the quality was of high grade, but it's not and evidently manufacturers don't even have to try hard because people seem to buy anything these days.)
