“I have been coming here for a few years now and words can’t express how amazing Robert is with his skills and introducing them to his students! I wouldn’t look elsewhere, you’re in great hands here!”
“Moving can be incredibly stressful, I was feeling completely frazzled trying to furnish every room in my home. I had purchased furniture from CORT over 10 years ago and still have those pieces today, so I knew I could trust their quality and value. Once again, they did not disappoint. A special thank you to Donna! She was ultra-professional, kind, and truly a wizard when it came to helping me find the perfect pieces for my new home. We selected furnishings for my entire home in just 35 minutes! I highly recommend asking for Donna such a pleasant and seamless experience. Thank you! Diana”
“Friendly staff, very friendly delivery and patient layout positioning. There was some confusion about retroactively getting the labor day price but it got worked out.”
“My husband and I purchased a sofa in March, 2026. Our sales person, Kaila was excellent! She helped us pick out the firmness of the cushions, the firmness of the back of the couch the material for the couch the material for the pillows with such ease. It could not have been a more enjoyable experience so we just wanted to say thank you. Don & Liz Giesel”
“The Oak Brook crew was so friendly and helpful with me selecting and paying for my mattress! I worked with Gina and she was amazing and accommodated all my requests for trying different things. Really great experience! And delivery to my home in SF went really smoothly and I got good intel on maintaining my bed. And as for the bed itself - I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in MONTHS. So love it!”
“There are places you visit, and then there are places that feel like they were created just for your soul. The Gnome Colony is the latter. ✨ Walking through the doors feels like stepping into a tiny enchanted universe filled with whimsy, beauty, sparkle, and love. Every bauble, every beautiful scent, every little treasure seems to have its own bit of magic. And then there is Michael. What a beautiful human being. He has this extraordinary gift for making women feel special, beautiful, celebrated, and completely safe to simply be themselves. He doesn’t just sell beautiful things — he creates an experience. You leave feeling a little more feminine, a little more joyful, and somehow reminded that you deserve to be adorned and cherished. The Gnome Colony isn’t just a shop. It’s a little sanctuary of magic. And Michael is the fairy godfather of it all. 💕✨ If you’ve never been, go. Let yourself wander. Let yourself be enchanted. You may walk out with a beautiful bauble, but you’ll leave with something even better — a little more sparkle in your heart.”
“Every WFF order I have placed with Fairy Tales has been received in excellent condition. Their packaging of such fragile items is exceptional. Their staff is very helpful and I never have to worry about ordering from Fairy Tales. Great store.”
“A nice shop with some out-of-the-ordinary merchandise from around the world, most have a benefit to other countries or certain charities from the sale. My wife bought a wool dryer ball and a trivet.”

“Got a VHS-C camcorder and 2 VHS tapes for $10. They’re always fair or even incredibly generous with their prices and are kind when I go. Rock on, get the cheapskates, Martin!”
“Everything is good except they don’t accept Apple Pay or any tap to pay not even own app like Walmart. So have to have a physical card on hand. Other than that good place”
“Who doesn't love a good Home Goods store? I have shopped at so many of them, and even though it's farther away for me, my favorite is the one at Geneva Commons. I don't think I've ever walked out of there with exactly what I was looking for.”
“I’ve been to this shop twice now. First time was almost by accident and so glad I happened upon it. Second time, I had a friend visiting from Milwaukee. We drove from downtown Chicago to the shop (about 35 mins) and the shop was closed. We inquired in a neighboring shop and long story short, a wonderful neighboring retailer opened the shop until someone could get there to ring up our purchases. It is an amazing shop with great gifts (for others or yourself!) and the retailers in that little strip are second to none!! I will shop here continuously for all my special gifts!! Thanks to the owner and her amazing staff and the friendship of the neighboring shops.”
“Allison did a wonderful job working with us, helping us pick out three different coordinating tiles for our master bath and matching grout. She was great to work with and very nice! Would come back to her 10/10 times.”
“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!”
“For our first experience with costuming framing, we can’t be happier with how our pieces turned out. Angela was a pleasure to work with and helped us find a wood that pairs perfectly with our decor. We’re looking forward to coming back for future projects!”
“Well, it was a bit more expensive than I remember from my previous visit but, many options, helpful friendly staff. Parking at Oak Brook always awful. Fortunately the store is right accross the service road.”
“Wow, impressively massive, vast even selection, and in the middle of ALL these other stores too! Dan was very nice. Coming back ASAP for buncha stuff Great environment they are cultivating ??❤️??”
“Rachel and the entire staff are wonderful. I couldn’t be more pleased with our purchase. I highly recommend this establishment, you won’t be disappointed. Kudos to the entire team.”
“We were having some electrical work done recently and on a tight timeline and decided to update fixtures at the same time. I have zero design skills, so I came in looking for options to replace out dated fixtures but still match our older home. I was especially struggling to find a main overhead fixture for our living room. I met with Maureen and Carla several times, and they helped come up with a great solution to some challenging lighting issues in that room. They spent a ton of time with me to really get to know what we needed, look at pictures, etc. I absolutely love the new fixture, it was a great idea and I never would have thought of something like that on my own. Will definitely be back with any future lighting needs, as they carry a great variety that the big box stores don't and their design staff are wonderful.”
“I didn't have much time to browse, around but I found the item I was seeking. Customer service was very helpful, and I hope to return soon because they have a lot of nice items that I would like to purchase.”
“The Westmont store relocated about a mile west still on Ogden. They have reoriented the layout and, btw, the restrooms are now in the front of the store. Nice displays.”
“I had some free time today between sessions so I walked around downtown Western Springs and walked into this adorable little shot. It was curated with some of the most adorable things very carefully selected items along with some vintage pieces. Everyone that worked there was especially nice and Linda even offered to wrap what I purchased up for me since it was a gift for a friend. I will definitely go back here. We need more places like this!! Def worth the trip!!”
“Beautiful things enjoyed looking at everything - beautiful prints! I am still working on print pillows I am planning on with scarves. The store is next to Dollar Tree. Owner very courteous - worth checking out store if you enjoy decorating a lot.”
“I was very impressed by Kathryn and her staff's outstanding customer service, flexibility, and personalized attention, when I had to special order some products. I love the decor and unique items in the store, which make beautiful gifts. I highly recommend Bench492!”
“Very professional, Damian has been cut and clear how everything was going to look and fit in our bathroom , our bathroom looks great after installing the glass doors , the only regret I have is that I didn’t know him before and not waste my time with other glass installers getting estimates.Thank you again”
“Shoutout to Lily C! Made what was turning into a poor experience of a high ticket purchase into an absolute Master Class in customer service. I’m a firm believer of it’s not what you give people, what you do to them, or even what you say; it’s how you make them feel. Lily took accountability and ownership of a situation by going above and beyond to show she was invested our satisfaction. Highly recommend asking for her when visiting this location for you next jewelry purchase! Thanks Lily!”
“I would highly recommend Home Environments. From start to finish, their team was a pleasure to work with. They were incredibly patient as we finalized our decisions and paid close attention to the details throughout the process. Their responsiveness made communication easy, and Anne stood out for her expert advice and outstanding customer service. The installers were prompt, professional, and extremely kind. They made sure we understood the process every step of the way and took great care during the installation. The results exceeded our expectations. We truly can’t say enough positive things about our experience. Thank you, Home Environments, for helping make our office remodel a success!”
“This chic little shop is nestled in the town center. It is well curated that once you step in your mind is instantly filled with ideas for gifts or ideas for your home. The gentlemen who assisted me was very kind, and helped me pick out the right boxes so I could have them gift wrapped. For sure made the holiday shopping experience easy. Prices are a little higher on some items to be expected but it was worth the price for the one of the kind pieces I found.”
“Debra was amazing to work with. She took my ideas and really helped make the finished product exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend her services and respect her friendly, helpful communication. Great value for something real, hand painted, and local!”
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.
