There is the Oak Express for wood furniture, sofa mart for all your living/dining room needs, and bedroom expressions for your mattress needs. There is ample parking for these three stores. The only downside is the prices are high and the staff are not quite attentive. I was able to walk through all three stores without anyone greeting or even asking if I needed any help.

I visited this location for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more The store was packed with people. When we first arrived, the check-out line wrapped around the checkout area and all the way down one of the main aisles of the store. Even with 4 cashiers busting their tails. Should I have visited on a Saturday? No. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I thought this HG had a great selection. I didn't visit all of the departments, though, because I came in for very specific items. Plus, it's hard to maneuver around carts and large groups of people throughout a store that has a lot of inventory. Our cashier was super friendly and I'll definitely come back.

Every isle is in near perfect shape and there isn't anything laying on the floor or stuffed into random holes. It's clean, organized, plenty of options and some great deals to be had... the staff seems invested in their jobs. Everyone seems bright faced and happy to serve. I was in this store multiple times over the holidays and this store hands down had the best staff along with best presentation of product and cleanliness. I try to compliment every worker I see there to tell them what a great job they are doing. Goodman's & Michaels are sloppy messes with very tired merchandise. Been the same old thing for years. Even Hobby Lobby seems to be a disappointment with their dates product along with broken, dented or scratched merchandise. Their customer service is great so I keep going there. Their picture, flower arrangements seem dated too. My first go to store is now Home Goods. Check it out you won't be disappointed. The Home Goods in Chicago and Normal were the pits and I swore I'd never go back but I am glad I did.

I volunteer and teach watercolor classes at libraries and assisted living facilities, and I provide all of the materials gratis so I was thrilled to see that I could get watercolor paper for 40% off. I picked up 30 small pads of watercolor paper. When I got upfront, I was told "oh these don't get the 40% discount because they're the ' your price' items and the manager told me that the yellow tags meant that they were the ' your price ' items. I'd like to know how a consumer is supposed to know that when the signs are all printed in 30 point type that all masters touch is on sale and posted right in front of where I selected the paper. In fact, the signs were taped to the displayer and all I saw was that masters touch brand - nothing identifying them as excluded from the 40% off sale. I think they intentionally mislead and I walked out and left their watercolor paper and I will never darken their door again. They can take all of their fake chest-beating Jesus and shove it where the sun doesn't shine because they are not honest and that in my opinion is hardly Christian. I'll buy bulk paper and cut it myself and I will make a point of telling all of my students to avoid Hobby lobby when they are searching for products. Hope this helps.

If I had a shopping addiction this store would be my demise. I was on the hunt for something very specific and Hobby Lobby was my last stop before resorting to purchasing something online. Feeling defeated as I began to leave the store, there it was! Exactly what I had been searching for was in one of the last six aisles of the store (or first 6 aisles depending on how you shop the store :). Yay! Giddy with excitement, the item was also on sale for 50% off, so I didn't need that 40% off coupon after all. Store is clean and staffed well. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was busy, but manageable. Nice parking lot. Will surely be back.

It is a cute little store with very unique items. With the infrequency of my visits, the stock changes quite a bit. Over the years I have collected good looking table items and found exotic gifts for people. Yesterday I bought two stupendous greeting cards just because I liked them. All of this would be enough but the business model is fair trade items to benefit areas and peoples of the world which traditionally are not paid a fair wage for their labor. As a result the prices are fairly high. I like the idea of paying people a wage they deserve and getting quality, hand crafted merchandise that are more one of a kind. Cool stuff and helping the world be a cooler place, two thumbs up!

The shop is owned by an old guy and he appears to be the only employee. He sort of is on his own schedule but he fixed my futon on the same day I brought it in. The price ended up being $90 flat. He was straightforward with me on my options. I only wanted something functional so I was ok with him using a different colored wood to do the job. That being said, I am more than confident that if I wanted an exact match of wood that he would have been able to help me out and he would have priced it fairly. I went home, put the futon back together and it worked great. I only give him four stars because he is kind of hard to work around because he is so old school that he has a landline and was concerned with the fact that my cell had a different area code and he'd get long distance charges for calling me to let me know when it was done. All of that being said, if you're looking for quality wood work at reasonable prices and you'd like to support an honest-to-goodness local business then this is your place to go.
