I received design help from James. He totally understood my home and created a plan that will work beautifully for me. The furniture is high quality. I highly recommend Cassona. read more

I came for Andersonville Galleria and hadn't realized that Cassona Home was right next door, which was serendipitous since I've wanted to visit here for a while. And I saw that they were having some sort of Labor Day deals so I couldn't pass up a stop! Angel was incredibly welcoming from the moment I walked into the shop. I wandered around for at least 20 minutes; they have some really lovely options for your home here. I am still in the unpacking and arranging part of a recent move, so I can't really be buying much since I don't know what I'd need... but I did see a cool bamboo desk that I'm still considering. I joined their mailing list to keep up on their sales and merch. read more

We loved our experience with Cassona! The couch we ordered turned out absolutely beautiful and is so sturdy and high quality. Angel from Cassona was amazing in helping us choose a couch, and kept calling to keep us updated on the delivery. We couldn't be happier with our purchase! read more

I'm not sure how to modify my previous review so I will start a new one. I previously reviewed my experience with a sectional sofa I purchased at Cassona Home. I was trying to solve a broken connecting bracket issue which I described in the review. The owner kindly reached out to me and found a way to promptly repair the bracket with almost no cost to me at all. An appointment was set up quickly and the tecnicians were very courteous. I am very grateful they called and were so kind about fixing my sectional. My experience shows me I should continue shopping here and to continue to shop locally. Don't be afraid to ask them for help if you stop in and don't see what you want; they have more pieces than are displayed on their showroom floor, and will help you find solutions to problem spaces like my tiny condo. read more

Lost one star for an issue. I bought a sectional sofa which came with a warranty. A bracket broke that holds the two pieces together. It happened within the first year, though it's now been sitting disconnected for a year and a half. They are going to charge to repair it. I thought a good piece of furniture at a nice store like this would be free from these basic defects and problems or that the company would be more willing to make it right. I am not sure I would fully recommend the store based on this experience. I didn't expect this to fall apart that quickly. The furniture choices at this store are nice however, and overall good quality and they come to the house to measure if needed. They also allow customer to bring samples of upholstery to the house which wasvery helpful. read more

I'm just going to crosspost the feedback I left directly to them, because I feel like it's everything I'd be saying here anyway... I LOVED the shopping experience here. Things you nailed: 1. You were in our proximity, but didn't hover. 2. You answered all of our questions quickly and accurately, demonstrating keen product knowledge. I was confident in the answers I was getting. 3. There were no hidden upcharges. The display model wasn't using the cheapest fabric. The throw pillows are included in the price. There was no lengthy closing ceremony where you make us choose a dozen options that will "add $100 to the price." 4. Were very forward when setting expectations. "It's gonna be 20 weeks." I knew that from reading the reviews, but it was good to hear put so plainly, and delivered before we had begun the commitment. 5. Didn't try to talk at us while we were making our choice. Weren't bombarding us with information or trying to "convince" us of anything. You just stood to the side to make sure we knew you were available and let us ask our questions. What a refreshing experience. I've come to expect such a different atmosphere when shopping for furniture. I'm really glad we went with you, and could support a local outfit in the process. read more

Cassona Home - Dorset Sofa - Furniture Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've passed this place many a time for many a year. Never walked in, partly because I wasn't in need of furniture at the times I walked by (mind you, I've been in need of furniture in the past, I have pets after all, and well... yeah). Where was I? Oh yeah, suddenly I had a need - a need for a new sofa to replace the old, semi-restored one dying a slightly undignified death of afternoon naps, tv nights, and excessive use as a desk when working at home. This place came up as being within a short driving distance and the selection online seemed pretty decent (especially for some updated mid-century modern styles). So upon arrival, first thing to note: excellent music on the stereo. Second, immediate greetings by a friendly and non-pushy store rep. And third, great selections to be found. Honestly, it didn't take long to find a good sofa style, get my questions answered, and ultimately decide this was the business to take my money. In some weeks (hey it's a custom build) I'll be getting my new sofa and feeling totally happy with my visit here. I'm glad I stopped by. read more

Great place to source furniture and interesting decor for yourself or clients if you're a designer. The staff there are super friendly. Found some very interesting bowls last time visiting and these drink coasters that were very unique as well. And interesting oversized art! Reminded me of being in Palm Springs. Definitely visit the space if you're up north and out and about looking for something special on the local level from a great place. You'll find a few other vintage and/or new galleries on the street as well worth checking out. Neighborhood is great for local eateries and furnishing and decor browsing! I really dig it over there and the next time I'm back around, I'll definitely be getting that bowl and drink coaster set I liked as well. Probably could use a piece of art too! Who knows? Haha Looking forward to it. Thanks for the hospitality guys. And Thank you for being open and allowing us to shop around during Covid and everything going on. Makes life a bit lighter right now when it's been so heavy and I know it probably hasn't been easy on you all either but we will definitely plan on returning and spreading the word by referring clients and friends! Have a great weekend. read more

As an interior designer I have made many purchases from Cassona since they first open. They make it so easy to work with the trade and with clients I sent. They have an amazing interior designer at the store that really helps me make purchases and even when I am looking for something in particular he is a huge help. Thank you very much Cassona for helping the trade soooo much. read more

Cassona Home - This beautiful sectional is from Cassona. A very clean line and beautiful fabric. The client loves it! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Lots of the standard, practical furniture pieces most people need at least a few of (yeah, I'd love to fill my place with Eames and Nelson, but I've got two college educations to fund) but lots of unique stuff. If you want something funky and modern but of decent quality, this is a destination store. I fell in love with the chair/bench made from a gathered bundle of vertical wood. Now that you know I'm not a furniture or architecture critic, check out the photo I uploaded - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/O4XqIcXGKWORGY5md0be0w?select=pfCpjyuxWGJ_fSieQUnYLg. This chair was incredibly comfortable and designed like nothing I've ever seen. Prices are fantastic! read more

I was looking for a nice bed sofa that could fit in my small condo. I wanted something appropriate to a reduced place, elegant and that didn't look like a traditional sofa. I found it at Cassona! The sofa is nice, perfect to accommodate a guest comfortably, and matches the style of the rest of my furniture . The customer service was really good, from the decoration recommendations to the installation, all was delivered diligently and on time. Overall, I recommend this place to buy trendy, elegant, high quality, and functional furniture. read more

I love, love, love this place. They have a personal touch that is hard to find elsewhere. I found my dream couch at Cassona and they customized it for me. The quality and beauty of their items is unmatched. I plan to make all future furniture purchases at this lovely place. The owner, Alma is the best! I came in a year after buying the couch and she remembered me and my couch!!! I love the personal touch. read more

Cassona Home - My kitty loves the matching chair! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My wife and I have worked with James at Cassona Home on numerous occasions. He's the best in the home design biz. Our friends and family often remark how great our home looks. We agree and it's all due to his keen eye for home design. In terms of the store itself, they have a wonderful selection of furniture, rugs, art work, and furnishings to improve your home's design. If you can't find what you like in store, they are always happy to accommodate custom order requests. If you're in need of some home interior improvements, simply go see James at Cassona on Clark St. read more

Update. Such contemporary, stylish, not over-the-top furniture at affordable prices. Interesting accessories as well and the whole team is so friendly and helpful. They provide great design suggestions and they are not pushy. They were so patient with us as we shopped and even played with my daughter and helped her walk! Tip: They have a parking lot in the back. Wish I had known! Didn't end up buying any furniture but the owner(?) was so friendly. She even offered for us to bring the chair home to see if it looks good there. For most of their furniture, they have many fabric choices to choose from. Would love to go back for other furniture. read more

Great selection. Friendly one on one personal service with no pressure to buy. Have furnished my entire home from Cassona and just purchased another piece yesterday. Angel and James are awesome !! read more

We spent over $3300 on a Rowe sofa at cassona on November 8th, 2020. Today is December 2nd, 2021 and I still do not have my sofa. I have been extremely understanding this whole time about supply and production issues but enough is enough. They did deliver a sofa to us in summer 2021, but the quality was complete garbage. Irregular cushions, not enough foam, crooked seams, fraying seams, the buttons on the seat cushion are so loose, they hang out of the cushion. IKEA offers better quality. After bringing it to their attention, they contacted the manufacturer and got them to remake the sofa. Apparently, the fabric used has been an issue so we had to go in and select new fabric. That's where the customer service stopped. While selecting new fabric, we were mostly just left to ourselves without information or help. When we first entered the store, we were ignored. Then, we were told we would have to partially pay for the remade sofa. When I wasn't okay with that, they said they would let us know how much we would have to pay. In the end, we were not charged for them to fix the problem but even suggesting that we would have to pay was just asinine. To try to make us feel better, they kept trying to say, "oh well at least we were able to let you keep the old one so you have a sofa until your new one arrives!". Excuse me, but what else would you expect us to do? Buy another sofa for the meantime when we already spent $3300 on a new one? Come on. After choosing a new fabric, we weren't notified by cassona until weeks later that the selected fabric was not available. So again, I went into the store to choose new fabric. And again, I was ignored when entering the store and left to figure out the fabrics on my own until I asked for help. At least this time, they contacted the company to be sure the fabric was in stock before I left the store. So, six weeks ago, they called to let us know the sofa had shipped from the manufacturer and would arrive in two weeks. Yeah. Still no sofa. They don't answer the phone, there's no answering machine, they don't respond to email and they don't check the Google chat feature. I don't think we are ever getting the sofa we paid for. read more

I bought a sleeper sofa from Cassona, and Alma was so patient with me while I figured out the type of sofa I wanted - I think I came in at least 5 times looking at different sofas and measurements. Very friendly and helpful and I love my new sofa. The service is very personal and not pushy or sales-y at all. This is the type of business I love to support. I would definitely purchase furniture from Cassona again in the future. read more

Just ordered a chair from John Zotti- can't wait to receive it! Will add pix once it's home :) read more

Cassona Home - The cats approve! Thanks to John for helping pick a fabric that was best suited for these two! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Who knew Andersonville had such cute shops? Not I! I need to head up this way more often, if only to come to places like Cassona. After brunch Sarah B and I walked around for a bit, and we popped in here to look around. They have lots of great modern but classic furniture (which is what I like) at really inexpensive prices. I immediately found many, many things that I loved... but then my wallet remembered I'm unemployed. (That's *really* starting to crimp my style, yo.) I actually found some really cool coasters that match some prints I have hanging in my living room so I ended up buying them since they were so inexpensive. The man working here was SO nice, and fun to talk to. While we browsed and I admired a couch he pointed out some fun features of it (yeah, I'm SO coming back for it when I get a job!), and while he checked me out we talked about traveling. When I said I was German and Irish, he laughed and said I must know how to party. Hehe. He was super fun, and I'll definitely be coming back here when I have paychecks again. read more

I recently bought a sofa here. Angel was super helpful when picking it out. There are a lot more things to choose when ordering than I had planned for, but they made it easy to do. The sofa is made in 'Merica, which is nice, and was custom made shipped in 6 weeks. The quality seems very good, and the guarantee was also pretty solid. They will replace the foam basically forever if it ever sags. The price was pretty decent too, certainly not IKEA, but quite a bit cheaper than Crate and Barrel and the like, and it looks great. read more

This is a place that I really really like their style of furniture. But there were some issues with out couch that caused the drop in price. My fiance and I buy a couch. We select the style and fabric really really fast. We already did research online and knew what we wanted. Then we go and put a down payment. We are given a 6-8 week window for our couch. 3 weeks pass (we're on vacation in Oklahoma visiting her family), and we get a call saying that the fabric we chose is from a fabric mill that is closed. So we head back to Cassona right after we get back home. We are informed that the manufacturer did not even start building the wood skeleton to put the fabric over so once we select the new fabric it will be another 6-8 weeks. Then comes 4th of July week and the furniture maker is closed that entire week, and apparently that does not count as part of the 6-8 week deliverable window. All in all we get the couch about 12-14 weeks after we ordered it. I do not think I will purchase from them again, unless there is a dirt cheap price. read more

Stopped in the other day just to take a look around. They have a pretty good selection and some comfortable looking items. Also, the prices seemed reasonable. What I liked best was the staff. The guy was SO amazingly friendly I felt like I was on a hidden video show or something. Maybe it was the Zombie Pub Crawl that put everyone in a great mood. The guy definitely earned Cassona a spot on my "friendliest places" list read more

We had been searching for months for a media cabinet. It was the last piece of furniture we needed for our renovated condo. Cassona had exactly what we wanted, and could not find elsewhere. Moreover, Angel went above and beyond to get the piece to us in two weeks so that we had it for our house warming. Overall, we could not be more pleased with Cassona, it's products and its staff. We highly recommend. read more

I purchased a couch here 4 years ago and its the coziest coolest couch ever. Recently I decided to update my loft with a sectional and I knew exactly where to get it. The guys who work here are super helpful and fun. I had a minor problem with the button on my first couch coming loose and Angel said he would email the manufacturer about it to see what they could do. I noticed a huge stack of papers and notes behind the desk and I was thinking, he clearly has tons to do, i wonder if he will even remember this. This is what earns you 5 stars.. following through with what you say you will do and going above and beyond for your costumers. Within 2 days he had emailed the manufacturer and cced me on the email. The other thing that is impressive about Cassona is you are getting a custom made couch for a very good price. You choose your couch fabric, pillow fabric and what style of wood you want for the legs. They also have some really neat lamps and picture frames. Thank you Cassona for making couch shopping enjoyable! read more

Alma and her staff at Cassona will bend over backwards to make sure you get just the right furniture! The store was well lit and comfortable and the selection was great! My wife and I were in there last Saturday and we were greeted warmly by Alma and her friend who is a professional designer as well as a doctor! She was there to offer free decorating advice for the day. My wife kept her busy for well over an hour. The only thing we need to do now is make a decision. read more

Hands down the best place in the city to buy furniture. Alma, the owner, and her staff at Cassona practically act as therapists for buyers like my boyfriend and I where purchasing big household items can be...somewhat of an anxious process. They are patient, insightful and have such a good eye for design. Everything in the store is absolutely exquisite in Danish, worldly and modern style. We have two couches from Cassona, a big loungy sectional we've had for about five years and a very cute sleeper sofa just delivered this past week. Go here! Shop independent and local! read more

It's only in the last few years that I've graduated from Target and IKEA into the world of good furniture. In that brief time I've come to really appreciate the guys at Cassona in Andersonville. (Sergio and Tony I *think*). Totally helpful ... they deliver honest (not sales based) opinions when you ask, are very patient when you have color swatches spread out all over their floor, and are just fun to talk to. read more

While walking to Starbucks one day I went in here to browse and saw a beautiful painting that I was thinking I had to have. I talked to the staff and they were SO nice it was unbelievable how comfortable he made me feel. I came back with my GF so she could see how beautiful the painting was and he let me put money down and pick it up later. I finally got it home and it looks beautiful in our space. Highly recommend!!!! read more

John - you the MAN. This review is dedicated to John at Cassona. And so begins my letter (only slightly dramatized for effect). Dear John, Before I walked into Cassona I had the fear of the sofa gods wedged deep in my soul. Wash codes? Mid-century styling? Rolled arms? What is happening? Please no. You saw me for the deer-in-the-headlights I was and adapted accordingly. You did an outstanding job of giving me your best suggestions based on what I liked. As time went on, and you thought I could handle it, you slowly gave me information about why the couches you had suggested were high quality. All the while being patient with my naivety and indecisiveness. It was perfect. And in the end? I purchased an outstanding sofa. (Mid-century light grey with WS wash codes for those of you playing at home.) Thank you John! All my best, Matt My suggestion to you, reader? I think you know that I'll be back. read more

We've been in Cassona several times since this past summer. Even though the first few times we were just browsing, we were greeted in an extremely friendly manner and made to feel welcome. There were some great art prints that I wanted but just couldn't afford this past summer. Yesterday, I walked in to find the paintings I wanted at a 30-40 percent discount. I bought three. The two gentlemen who work in the store are very personable, will chat with you about a multitude of topics, and be genuinely interested in anything you have to say. I really love shopping and supporting local businesses; I will go back to Cassona and purchase other items as I can afford them ;-) (fyi-their fashionably classic items even non-sale priced are reasonably priced, but I'm on a budget) read more

Gorgeous furniture, v. unusual. Well made, sturdy - really unusual, creative pieces here.

This was my second visit to Cassona, Angel and Alma are fantastic!! I have had two amazing experiences with them and would recommend them highly. So patient and helpful. You guys ROCK! Katherine B. read more

Really like the contemporary yet warm-homey furniture, art and accessories here! I returned twice in two days!

I will have to update this review when we get the sofa that we're about to purchase, but our interactions with the store--and with Angel, especially--have already exceeded our expectations so much, that I wanted to write this review. Cassona carries a few furniture lines, including Rowe. So, even though the store is small, there are hundreds of possibilities in turns of custom frames and upholstery. They are also very reasonably priced. We'll end up with a section that will cost us half of the price of the bigger chain stores like C&B and PB. Most importantly, the service here is OUTSTANDING. Angel sent fabric swatches, sat with us on several occasions, and patiently fielded our many questions and concerns. Would definitely recommend! read more

We are delighted with our experience with Cassona, and also with James who helped us to pick perfect pieces at a very reasonable price. We had renovated our house years ago, but had never really finished it off with attractive/ comfortable furniture. Our living room and dining room furniture was uncoordinated and impractical. We couldn't sit and watch a movie together as the seating didn't work. Luckily, I wandered into Cassona one day and chatted with James. He offered design advice for $100, and the $100 is then taken off any items purchased from the store. We took him up on it, and he came around and immediately reconfigured our two rooms to perfection. Even if we hadn't purchased furniture from Cassona, his advice would have been a fantastic bargain. We did buy furniture from Cassona though, and it was equally great. It looks wonderful and is comfortable and practical. I can't recommend this local store enough. Do check it out, even if you buy something ornamental there, it lifts the spirits! read more

If you're in the market for quality furniture, stop into Cassona. They have a great selection of well-made furniture in styles to match any taste. We bought a sofa about six months ago and couldn't be happier with it. The sofa gets a lot of use (Thanks, Netflix!!) and it looks and feels as good as the day it was delivered. Picking out the sofa was a great experience, too. The salesperson was extremely helpful, not at all pushy, and helped us pick the best fabric for our needs. I will definitely purchase furniture again from Cassona. read more

Jessica and I love working with the Cassona team - Alma, Angel, and John. They are very friendly and really know their stuff! We like that they work with domestic manufacturers as opposed to big box stores that source primarily from overseas. Not to mention, you can customize to your liking. We purchased a couch earlier this year and have been very pleased with the quality of the piece as well as the service delivered by the Cassona team. John guided us throughout the entire process from design to caring for the fabric. Currently, we are taking a look at purchasing a leather accent chair. We stopped by the shop last weekend to take a look. Alma and Angel took the time to educate us on the leather varieties and provided us with a couple of great options. We are so excited to purchase within the next few months!! Always a pleasure to stop by, say hello, and see what's new in the store! read more

AMAZING STORE AND AMAZING STAFF. I recently bought a rug here. It was honestly one of the smoothest most pleasant shopping experiences I've ever had. John was more than helpful throughout the entire process. He went out of his way to help us get what we needed and at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back! read more

This is now my place to go for furniture! The staff is very knowledgeable, nice and patience, they are able to advise and give you different options in styles and prices. The quality of the furniture they sell is really good and they work with American furniture factories directly. This place is a gem! read more

I love Cassona, I have purchased several of their pieces, furniture, accessories and artwork. Their selection, customer service and affordability set them apart. Highly recommend them. read more
