“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!”
“After many years of putting off selling estate items I finally decided it was time. I was worried about the shear volume and time it would take but after visiting OCC I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and fast OCC made the entire process. I highly recommend OCC.”
“I felt like I had stepped into a studio ghibli scene! My friend and I were in there for around an hour and a half before closing and regretted not stopping by earlier in the day. You could literally spend hours in there. We will definitely be coming back. The staff were welcoming and kind! One of the best vintage/ antique store in Chicago!”
“I love 30 North Antiques! The owner, Bobby, is so kind and really cares about her customers. She has the best selection, and I always enjoy coming in. The store is big with three different areas, so there’s something for everyone. There are lots of cute trinkets, unique finds, and little treasures you won’t see anywhere else.”
“Greg reupholstered my headboard, and it turned out phenomenal! He did quality work, was very accommodating, and was reasonably priced. I will be back for future upholstery jobs! I highly recommend If you are looking to replace or switch up your style on an older piece of furniture, you want to keep!”
“Brought our antique couch back to life! Impeccable stitching and attention to detail. Fair pricing and quick turnaround, definitely will call them again for any of my upholstery needs.”
“Such a gem!! The people who work here seriously have the best taste and make the whole experience so much better. You can tell they really know vintage and the story of each piece. They're knowledgeable, genuinely passionate, and gave great recommendations without being pushy. Definitely one of the coolest vintage shops I've been to. Can't wait to come back!”
“A gorgeous store that has snacks from my childhood. The employees are always kind, and i loved bastille day celebrations. I also frequently purchase gifts for family members here.”

“Thank You so much for the excellent work you did on our 1920's Hall Clock. It's now working just as it did the day it was purchased at Marshall Fields back then. Thank You”
“I recently won a few lots from Lot 14 on an online auction and there communications and responsiveness to messages was excellent. Great selections of items in their auctions as well. Cheers Lot 14!”
“While visiting Chicago, I decided to look up local rare book dealers and came across Kurt Gippert. I gave him a call, and to my surprise, he answered personally. What followed was a 30-minute conversation that felt less like a sales call and more like a conversation with a fellow book lover. Kurt was genuinely interested in understanding the kinds of books I was passionate about — not just by genre, but the nuances of what excites me as a reader and collector.
By the time I arrived for my appointment, he had curated a thoughtful selection tailored to my interests — including some incredible finds I hadn’t even thought to look for. His knowledge of rare and antiquarian books is deep and impressive, but what stood out most was his ability to connect that expertise to what I was seeking. He doesn't just sell books — he guides an experience of discovery.
The space itself is a quiet, well-organized trove — the kind of place where you feel time slow down, and every book has a story. Kurt is professional, warm, and passionate about what he does. I never once felt rushed. Instead, I felt like a welcomed guest in the world he’s created around the love of books.
This was truly a personalized, memorable experience — the kind that’s increasingly rare. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your journey into rare books, I can't recommend Kurt highly enough. A must-visit for anyone who loves the magic of the printed word.”
“Stumbled upon this antique store, and found a lot of interesting well priced pieces. Wide selection available, and the lady running the store reminds me of my grandma.”

“I used to live nearby & spent many hours in this store. The owners are wonderful! I bought so many collector Barbie’s & a few Gene dolls. I met the designer of the gene doll, Mel Odom at an event at the store, got his autograph. It was such fun! I plan on passing all those Barbie’s down to my 2 granddaughters (ages 16 & 18) when they get a bit older. They have picked which ones they want. I live in cali now & miss shopping at gigis dolls. It’s a great place to shop & I highly recommend it! Wish I lived closer so I could go say hello & get some more dolls! If you love dolls you have to check out their store, you’ll be in heaven!”

“A hidden gem in Hinsdale! This unique store sells higher-end furniture and decor with 100% of the profits benefitting Wellness House, which provides support and services for those with, or affected by, cancer. Volunteers staff the store and there is new inventory weekly. Shopping here is a win-win!”
“This shop is a real find, and I'm glad I saw it while passing by and took the time to stop in. Linda is a wonderful and interesting woman who took the time to speak with my fiancee and me. Her shop is full of little treasures of all sorts, and I'm sure I'll keep discovering more during future visits.As a small local business, I hope Linda's Closet hasn't been too hurt by Covid, and I encourage everyone to stop by and look around. I'm confident that you'll find something that catches your eye! This is exactly the type of shop that gives Chicago its charm.”
“Need the perfect antique frame for that beautiful painting/photograph? This is the place to go! This little store has been around for decades, and yet, I feel as if many people don't even realize it's there or what treasures are inside. Family-owned and operated, the store holds hundreds upon thousands of antique picture frames of varying sizes (3" x 5" up to a few feet!) and shapes (mainly squares, rectangles, and ovals). Only a small percent of the frames are shown in the front showrooms, but ask, and more from the large backroom can be brought out for your viewing. Mirrors are also available, as well as a collection of framed artwork, prints, watercolors, engravings, and more to add some extra class to your home or business. Occasionally, you can find a 'famous' painting or picture frame on the walls. They also have a website where you can choose from a quality online selection.Appointments are preferred, but the shop owner is more than happy to show you frames, restore your frames, and help you with other antique framing needs. Prices are also very reasonable. He also makes sure you are satisfied with your frames/purchases. I highly recommend this place. You won't get the personal touch and dedication on a frame from anyone else.”
“My one stop shop for all occasions! They literally have the perfect gift for all ❤️. I love shopping here. The exclusive items you’ll find only here make it worth the drive. (I live in Chicago). Everything is perfectly curated and the store is constantly changing. Make an afternoon of it….have lunch and shop till you drop. Thank you for having a gorgeous shop.”

“This is the only place to purchase Lanzi Carnel nut chew candy. I called a bunch of different stores and nobody knew what I was talking about. I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”
“This is the second house sale that I have been to run by this group. I have to say everything is very organized and professional. They are all SUPER nice. Highly recommend and can't wait for the next sale!”
“So many precious finds! I purchased a few cookbooks (the booklet pictured is from 1921) from here and have already baked with them a couple times! I love bringing history to life in these small ways!”

“This store is such a gem! We found an amazing Ethan Allen 90s dining room table here, in excellent condition WITH leaves and chairs, at a perfect price point. The staff was so friendly and helpful - they even helped us with removing the legs and load-in to our car. We will definintely be back here as our first stop when we're looking for new furniture for our home!”
“Gary and his staff went the extra mile for me. I was able to complete my room with authentic,hard to find pieces. Gary''s expertise allowed me to relax knowing I was in good hands. My items were delivered in perfect condition. Professional and courteous. Highly recommended. I hope to return for more purchases!”
“It seems there’s a new owner running the store. There was an amazing vinyl record collection which was priced really well. Also some retro turntables and receivers there that looked to be in great shape.”

“This shop deserves even more than 5 stars ? ++++++
Shout out to FRED for his patience, honesty, and expert advice that he shared with me during my visit today.
Not only is their selection of items amazing (I had such a a hard deciding what to get!) but also their prices and customer service was better than all the other coin shops that I’ve been to.
100% would recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and honest dealers. very happy with my transactions and glad I made the trip out.”
“If you ever need someone to sell gold or coins to I definitely recommend going to talk to Brian. No bullshit kind of guy knows the market and it's trends. Honest, trustworthy, and informative. Sold my gold and gave me 4% over cost. Tell them Gregg Arns sent you.”
“I had a wonderful time perusing this enormous store filled with unique jewelry and other trinkets. Even though it is big, it still has a quaint feel. They have so many other collectibles, but I was mainly focused on jewelry. It felt like a museum, but in the best way. The staff is understandably busy, so just have some patience while they navigate the store. Each jewelry case has a key, so they must obtain the key in order to open it. Each time I asked for help, I only had to wait an average of 2 minutes. I will be returning!”
“This place is great! When I tell people about it, I personally call it Debbie’s DAMN good deals, I’m just so excited! We got a great table and chairs here. It was exactly what I was looking for and I get a lot of compliments on it. It was a little dusty but most of the furniture wasn’t too hard to get the dust off.”
