Great shop, inventory changes weekly so check back often. Check out @vintagequest on IG for great pics of new items. Keith is the proprietor, neighborhood gadfly and a great person to work with. Tell Keith Chi-Hammer ? sent ya.

Keith sells beautiful rugs, but many of them are defective and stained and his return policy is opaque. I bought a vintage rug and was disappointed to find that it puckered when laid out and that the border stitching was clearly wonky (it looked like it had been sewn together). After talking to a rug expert, it turns out that the rug had probably been shrunk when washed previously. Of course, as the buyer it is my responsibility to assess what I’m buying, however, as the seller Keith should, in my opinion, be more amenable to customer needs. When I asked for a refund, he refused. His excuse was that I only had two days to return the rug (nowhere is this stated nor does he explain this when selling) and, more absurdly, “I already paid my rug guy.” To the latter, I say, not my problem. He allowed me the chance to exchange rugs, but to my further disappointment the ones in the price range had giant stains and holes. I will never buy a rug or piece of furniture from him again nor would I recommend others do the same. There are plenty of other amazing vintage shops in Chicago with owners that sell much higher quality goods and are easy to work with.

Great store with well curated vintage home goods. I’ve purchased many beautiful pieces of furniture here, and continue to find more. The owner is also very personable, making the overall shopping experience quite fun. It’s like you are walking into your local dive bar at times!

Pretty much everything in my home came from Vintage Quest. Best place to find vintage furniture. Grab some coffee and head here on Saturday afternoons for all the best finds from the week.

Listen, I have seen my fair share of vintage/ antique stores and this place takes the cake. While yes, some things are priced over what I would personally like to pay but the inventory is worth it.I found Vintage Quest on Instagram by way of a friend's recommendation. I had been searching for a couch for months and I could not find one that fit my lifestyle. I set my notifications on and LET ME TELL YOU. Keith does not disappoint.Keith, the owner, has an eye for vintage furniture that is unlike any I have seen. He knows his stuff. Period. And what he doesn't know, he will tell you. I purchased my couch from here a couple weeks back and it was the best decision I have ever made. I have since bought a beautiful gold trim mirror and am looking to find a chair for my bedroom.Location:Vintage Quest is located in Humboldt Park on a strip that has been slowly developing in the last 5-10 yrs on California between Division and Augusta. There is usually plenty of street parking and a new bar has also opened up across the street.The Shop:Not going to lie to you; the space is a bit hectic. BUT ITS HUUUGE! It is essentially two store fronts filled to the brim with all things vintage. Light fixtures, bars, chairs, couches, lamps, records, mirrors, RUGS! You name he got it. What's amazing is that he knows what he has. Dusty but not dirty. Almost like your messy childhood friend or sibling whose room was chaos but knew where everything was. Kind of like that.Service:Keith usually responds to DMs pretty quickly and phone calls/text even faster. He is at the shop for the most part during normal store hours or when he announces but you can request an appointment. Super easy to talk to and even better at working out payment plans, deposits, etc. He offers drop off for larger furniture pieces, but I have yet to use that service.The point is, this place is awesome.

Without a doubt - THE BEST place to find unique rugs, vintage furniture, glassware, lighting, and other odds and ends. Be sure to follow the shop on Instagram for all the new drops! (@vintagequest). I've purchased a couch here, a dresser, bookcase, outdoor wicker furniture, a coat rack, and a radio! (Probably forgetting something but that's really all within eyeshot of where I'm sitting as I right this). Check it out, you won't regret the visit.

Excellent vintage furnishings and great service. Pre-covid, I enjoyed stopping by the store just to say hi. Now, I just check out thier Instagram page to see what new items they have. Most items are sold within a few minutes or hours, so you have to act fast. The owner is really kind too and he's created a nice community vibe around his store.

Keith at Vintage Quest has helped me find so many wonderful things to make my apartment feel like a home. The furniture is always beautiful, and he even remembers the kind of tchotchkes I like!
