“Scott and Shane were extraordinarily helpful when choosing our patio table set and lounge area set. They were patient and very knowledgeable. The store had a great selection of sets with more that could be ordered. Highly recommend visiting Northwest Metal Craft if you are in the market for patio furniture, grills or fireplaces.”

“I needed to get eight bouquets as thank you for service to a school committee and the owner was so lovely and happy to accommodate me. Everything turned out beautifully and the shop has beautiful items besides flowers.”
“My daughter and I had the best time here today! We went looking for things for her new apartment and ended up finding so many treasures for both of us. My favorite find was a large painting of a bicycle with baskets overflowing with flowers. It reminded me so much of Amsterdam, where we just visited, that I knew it was coming home with me. ❤ What a gem of a place! I can’t believe we didn’t discover it sooner. Such a fun place to browse, and you never know what you’re going to find. We’ll definitely be back!”
“I had some memorial pendants made from the ashes of a loved one. I got them today and they are absolutely stunning! I met with Sue to drop off the ashes a few weeks ago. She was very thorough when taking my information, labeling my loved ones ashes, and listening to what I wanted. When she called me today to let me know they were ready, I gave her a time frame of when I would be able to pick them up. I was late. I was still greeted immediately, even though they were teaching a class. I got to observe that class and pet some doggies for a little bit until they were able to assist me. I was even asked if I wanted to stay and observe the rest of the class they were teaching.”
“Highest recommendation! We have been getting art framed here for years, and Sandy (the owner), has always had fantastic, artistic and creative ways to make our art look great! Unique mattings, custom designs and distinctive presentations make every piece we bring in truly shine. Everyone who works there is professional, talented and ready to do whatever it takes to make our experience top-notch. We have had more than art framed, Sandy came up with a great way to frame my late mother's favorite necklace so that I could enjoy it every day. Take in something you love and want to make part of your decor, and The Great Frame Up in Niles will make it happen. A++++!”
“Couldn’t be happier with my new table! From design to completion, Kyle worked with us to make sure we were satisfied with our custom live edge table. Highly recommend him.”
“My happy place! I get plants, garden tools, gifts, and my bird food and supplies here. My dogs even love it. Today I purchased a lovely fountain we’re enjoying right now. On top of the amazing ambiance is the wonderful service!”
“A truly magical place to shop for custom gifts and trophies. Impeccable craftsmanship. They also do a great job with crystal repairs. I've had antique crystal decanters and coupe glasses repaired here and they did a wonderful job.”
“I love that they have trained design staff available for free. Sometimes it helps to get another opinion or ideas that I didn’t think of. I didn’t like this hex in the store but the designer assured me it would look great with the rest of the bathroom and he was right!”
“Lots of stuff including good furniture. The books are well organized. Clothing is better than some places. Prices are sort of high but not the worst. You can spend your day here.”
“We have ordered several pieces of furniture from Britt and his group. They are wonderful people to work with. Very accommodating. And the gentlemen who do the delivery are great! Always a pleasure doing business with them.”
“Exceptional products!!!!! Enjoying all the pleasures of previously living in Italy throught all the wonderful Italian things to purchase!!! Super fast shipping and much care given to protect shipped items!!!”
“Bill provided an incredible experience at Apple Frame Studio. He framed a picture in such a short turnaround. Will absolutely only go to The Apple Frame Studio for framing needs.”
“This whimsical store is an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, my preteen daughter was captivated, exclaiming she wanted to own 'the whole shop!' It's a place where you can happily lose yourself for hours, as every shelf and display is brimming with character and holds a charming new discovery. The local jazz band Quintessence was playing this particular night which was an extra treat :)”
“Super cool stuff! Great for gifts and unique home finds. The young lady working there is super knowledgable, helpful, and patient. The buyer/owner needs to be commended for some great, unique finds. A bit pricey, but considering the high rent district, I get it.”
“This is my first-stop gift shop. Without exception, every gift from Greenleaf Gallery has been a hit with the recipients; from clothes, to eclectic household wares, to art. The customer service is also first rate. I highly recommend it!”
“Looking forward to another visit soon! The team at Turn the Tables in Northbrook were very accommodating and helpful. We bought a bulky piece of furniture; they quickly labeled unique parts for easy reassembly and suggested another place nearby where we might the find other items we need.”
“If you have (or want) fabulous taste, this is the place to shop. I have gotten to know the owner and team, too - they are truly lovely people. There is so much you can do with the product to bring your dream outdoor oasis to life. I love the new Avalon Collection. The Montecito is incredible. I ultimately went with the Rustic Collection - it fits so well with the aesthetic on my screened in porch. Also bought a round outdoor dining table, 4 swivel rocking chairs, and customized the fabric to pull it all together. Go sit in all of it - seriously! They have mastered the art of offering supreme outdoor comfort without having to sacrifice aesthetics. Everything in there is so stunning! There’s really nothing else like it in the Midwest. Summer Classics is a gem. Their indoor Gabby collection is really fun, too! Check out the alpaca pillows - they are crazy soft… you won’t be able to stop petting it! It’s like a less expensive, zero maintenance alternative to a therapy dog (lol).”
“Decent little place, ladies that work there are friendly. Owner REALLY needs to introduce electronic receipts to their shop though, also the store hours posted here online were wrong when I visited (and are still incidentally) as they actually close at 6p apparently, not 5p. Just an fyi if you plan on visiting, still recommend, definitely a place worth checking out if you're downtown here.”
“Mary Dooley at the Schaumburg , Illinois store was wonderful. We walked in not knowing much about sleep number beds after trying other mattress brands in our search for a new mattress. She taught us about the technology behind sleep number beds. She showed us the difference in our spinal alignments before and after adjusting the bed. We felt it in our bodies almost immediately. She answered all our questions and gave us time to discuss what we felt and wanted. It was a positive experience from the moment we walked in the door till the final purchase. We are looking forward to our bed arrival and better nights sleep with less aches and pains in the future.”
“Had a great experience with Sajjad at Full House Furniture. He was super friendly, easy to work with, and really took the time to help us find exactly what we were looking for. He even wrapped everything himself and had it ready for us within a day. The whole process was smooth and easy. Really appreciate all the help and would definitely recommend Sajjad and Full House Furniture!”
“I recently stopped in to look at lighting and found a wonderful display of ceiling fans and track lighting along with other lighting. . I had looked at a few other lighting stores and found Northwest had the best selection. Because of the selection and service I received, I purchased two ceiling fans and track lighting with beautiful pendants which Jessica suggested. I will go back when ready to order floor lamps. Jessica was a wonderful salesperson and was very helpful. She had great suggestions and was very good at getting back to me with questions I had. When the manufacturer of the track lighting sent an incorrect part, Northwest expedited the reorder of the part and had it delivered to my home.Also, late one evening when I called the store about the incorrect part, Jessica was with another customer and Thelma went out of her way to help me and called back well after the store's normal hours. She, too, offered exceptional customer service skills. I highly recommend this store.”
“Exceptional service and great customer experience. Michael was so helpful and treated me so kindly. After a day to think things over I went back and met Taylor the showroom manager and the fun continues! Her knowledge and hospitality along with Michael I ordered a new mattress, sofa and recliner. So happy and cannot wait for delivery!”
“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!”
“This has to be the best TJ Maxx/HomeGoods in the nation. It's always incredibly clean and organized, and they have a great variety of items. Kudos to the team!”
“I absolutely love this place.Very clean and neat. Great displays.Excellent selection.Very friendly and helpful staff. A little pricey, But, a lot was on sale. I definitely will be back. Less than a block away was a Goodwill store too.”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
