“I love this shop for simply existing and being an option. I yoyo a lot in weight from being postpartum with my baby but I’ve had such good finds at this shop from shape-wear, formal wear, wallets, and jewelry.
The owner is a girl’s girl and the staff is friendly. I live in Chicago and make the 45min drive to her shop just to support than going to other stores or resorting to online shops.”
“So cute! A wonderful shop. Lots of cool and fun stuff, friendly staff, and a nice clean. I'll be going back the next chance I get! I've already recommend it to a few friends. Love it”
“I almost always find something at this store filled with designer brands, household items, purses, shoes, men's clothing, women's clothing, and kid's clothing. It's a very packed store, but the items are all in great condition, and there's always a good sale going on. Workers and owner are all super friendly and helpful. Must check out if you are in the downtown Palatine area.”
“We love this store! I have bought everything from outdoor furniture to paintings and it’s always so clean, organized and inviting.
The staff is always kind and helpful.”
“I can't say enough great things about Robyn's Nest! My mom and I frequent her store almost weekly. She is kind, accommodating, and offers a warm and welcoming environment. Not to mention the store is beautifully curated and laid out for a comfortable and enjoyable shopping experience. All items are in beautiful condition and organized neatly on racks and shelves. I have found so many fun treasures here and look forward to the next time I shop here!”
“I wish I had known about this store before I purchased most of the furniture in my home! You can get much better quality furniture at a fraction of the price. The store is clean, easy to navigate, and the staff is super helpful. I was greeted right when I came in, and the staff was super helpful with all my questions. I will definitely be back and will recommend this store to everyone!”
“I donate often and this is my go to place to drop off donation now. The staff who receive donations are always polite and courteous. The way they present items for resale, it is obvious how much care and heart they put into it. It looks like a well kept store.”
“I love Frocks and Frills! The owner is so kind and you can tell all the hard work she puts into the shop. All of the vintage clothing is measured and organized by measurements which is a game changer for shopping vintage, I was even measured in store to make it an easier shopping experience! Overall, this store is a treasure trove of vintage and definitely a must stop every time I visit Wheaton!”
“Lucille really helped me out by taking a bedroom set donation. The scheduler and the pick up guys were great! The pick up crew was very nice and careful. Much appreciated!”
“I had an excellent time shopping here today and got an entire wardrobe of professional and interview clothes from Calvin Klein, Express, and other name brands! I was expecting to find one or two pieces for an interview and ended up with multiple blazers, dresses, shirts, slacks, and shoes. Tami gave me a great deal on everything, and she was very helpful and kind!!”
“I recently visited Goodwill on Army Trail Rd in Bloomingdale, and had a great experience. The store offers excellent customer service, fair prices, and an impressive variety of clothing and home accessories. Everything was well organized, making it easy to browse and find hidden treasures. Definitely a great place to shop while supporting a good cause!”
“I see a couple reviews of 1 star that prices are outrageous and staff is rude. (1) This is so incorrect!!! I'm there every weekend shopping for the last 10 years and not once have I come across a rude employee, upper staff member or volunteer. (2) The prices are extremely fair and lower than all competitors. I've bought many things from here that I've seen at antique stores for 4x the price. Every month Wings has a specific color price tag that is 75% off for whatever items that color price tag is on. Every weekend furniture is 50% off and the last weekend of every month the entire store is 50% off. In my opinion Wings is the best resale store around and has 3 locations, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg and Niles. I've been an antique collector and resale shopper for 36 years and Wings is a great place and always filled with customers.”
“I had a great experience!! It's is a small, cozy organized space with winter clothing right now. Go stop by...you never know if that perfect sweater or nice coat is waiting for you...”
“I always loved this store. I live in a different area, so we used to go to other locations. When I discovered this one, I was very happy. I always find great deals in here! The store is very clean! It doesn’t smell like a thrift store. The employees are very friendly and helpful. You can try anything on- there are 3-4 fitting rooms. Everything is brand name, so the cost is a little bit higher, but it’s ok. You can get a nice pair of brand jeans for $15. Many items are on clearance. All the clothes are sorted by colour, which is just great! A lot of shoes! Purses, sunglasses, jewellery.
The best review is deserved!”
“This thrift store is the only place I can ever go and find something for $1! Sometimes without it even being on sale!
Prices are generally reasonable and it’s somewhat organized by size. Not so much the kids section.
I can almost always find what I’m looking for when i come here! I’ve had success with specific dinner plates i was hunting for, kids clothes, women’s clothes, household linens like sheets/cloth napkins/washclothes, and more.
Not the best for kids toys, books, or shoes. Small selection. Worth a trip though!”
“I popped in on a Thursday to try on some fancy dresses. The place is clean, very well organized and the prices !! Excellent! Everything that I saw was priced incredibly fair. Gorgeous intricate dresses for like $9. The staff was about four girls. They were super nice, friendly, and helpful .I felt welcomed. Seeing some of these reviews before I came in, I was expecting some pit of ghouls. Nope. Everyone was super kind and accommodating and cute as can be. Thanks for a great experience!”
“I had such a great experience at Plato’s Closet with Maja. She was super friendly from the moment I came in and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. She took her time, explained everything clearly, and just had a really welcoming attitude throughout. I left feeling good about the experience and would definitely come back!”
“Great location the staff works hard and is always helpful whenever I shop. Despite the changes they have been improving and can only go up from there. Great job management on improving the standards and your hardwork is starting to pay off.”
“This is my daily drivin store of all time along with the goodwill rolling meadows location
I got great deals on literally Electronics and Video games
Update: even if the store closed for public I can still buy PC and mobile games digitally
Update 2: 10 years later I'm so cherished that this location is still going strong and well due to strong donations support and great atmosphere”
