Nothing but great things to say about Furniture Avenue!…read more I bought my very first couch here recently. I did some online browsing before coming into the store to see what they have; they have a plethora of options at such affordable prices. They didn't have as much in store as they did online but you're able to place your order online at the store. There's also a large downstairs with additional furniture like beds, couches, coffee tables, etc. We found easy parking right in front of the store, as well. We were helped by Daisy who was very personable and helpful. After finding a couch, we sat down together and she went through the pricing with taxes and delivery. Everything was very upfront and she made the process quick and seamless. Our bed was delivered to our second floor apartment (they called me prior to arrange a time) literally two days later! The 2 gentlemen were nice and made carrying a couch look very easy! We've been obsessed with our new couch ever since. If you want quality furniture for a good price, I definitely recommend Furniture Avenue!

I will NEVER SPEND MY MONEY HERE again. sidenote: they have NO CONCERN about getting my furniture to me, they just keep pretending like they do. horrible service.

The owner was very helpful in making my hunt for random jewelry to pull off a look I was going for. The prices were right in range of what I wanted to spend, which was GREAT. There are tons of things that I want to buy there, but have to figure out how to get them home and into my place, first! If i'm looking for something small and vintage-y, I'll definitely start here first next time! Four stars ONLY because their hours are quite compressed over the summer (and not open at all on Sunday). Otherwise, five stars all the way!

Today was my first time venturing inside this antique store, and I absolutely didn't regret it…read more This is definitely going to the first place that I go in the future for jewelry and gifts - they had an absolutely fantastic selection of jewelry and other accessories. Most of it is on the pricey side, but unique and definitely worth the time to look through. I did find the furniture and housewares to be beyond my budget at this point, but it looked like it was all in great condition and very unique. There was a very small selection of vintage clothing - if you're looking for a belt, definitely check out the basket in the bottom of the closet! Super affordable and pretty cute.

The store is FILLED to the brim with gorgeous vintage pieces. Costume jewelry and fine pieces as well. A price point for everyone. I came her with the intention of finding a flashy brooch and I got more than that! The absolute perfect brooch that is silver with a touch of gold and it's a rose- my signature piece. I also found a unique bolo tie for my brother in law. A perfect complement to his Blantons (other Christmas gift). I also got myself one and it's a horse- perfect for my for personal nickname reasons. Service was also attentive and very helpful. Can't wait to shop here again for my friend's annual casino 1920s night. Just an FYI you sometimes have to park across the street.

Gurl was I impressed by the stock! There is plenty to go through where it can get overwhelming. I would take your time being here due to the seemingly limitless supply of fun and unique items. Their clothing and accessories are expertly curated, fun and fashionable. Most items price around the 20-30s with some items going for more or less than that. I was able to find a cute brooch, a pearl necklace, a scarf and colorful beaded bib necklace for under $100. Parking is shared within a small strip mall and you'll need to ring the doorbell for entry. The owner Jules is a doll and greeted me at the entrance. She recognized that this was my first visit and she helped me navigate through the store. She also found expert sales associates to assist in finding particular items. You are given a small plastic dish to place items in and when you're ready to get rung up, take the dish to the counter and they will bag/box your items for you. Hours of operation are a little odd however I've attached pictures of their current hours. Call ahead before going to make sure they are open.

I was primarily looking for fabric, and I unfortunately didn't find a ton of options to repurpose in the bedding and linens area. However, they have several racks of women's clothing to look through with shoes of several sizes organized above the racks. I even saw someone score a pair of new Vejas sneakers the day I went. I didn't have a ton of time to look through everything, but the store is much bigger on the inside than it looks from the street. I went on an extremely busy morning (I believe it may have been a senior citizen sale? I just got the tail end of an announcement over the intercom), but I had no trouble at all finding a solid parking spot just outside the main entrance in a generous private lot. The street is pretty busy, so I would be careful to turn at the light if you're taking a left into the store. There are tons of different clothing brands, from boutique to well-known names and more fast fashion tags. There was even a whole section of home goods I didn't get a chance to explore. My one difficulty was navigating the long racks of clothing. It was difficult to get from one end to another given the sheer amount of foot traffic, but I'm sure it may be different on a less busy day.

One thing I really appreciated is that the shoes are sorted by size! So no grubbing around looking for the ones that fit. Yay. The women's clothes looked a bit tired.

Rather than removing the item from the table display to properly measure, she tried to hold the tape measure up to the display. She told me it was 60". I got it home and it did not fit. I called within 15 min of making the purchase. The woman then said it was actually 63". I said I had to return the item. She told me I can only return for a store credit! I paid cash, the error was hers, and I don't get my money back??? She said that's the store policy- credit ONLY. I was told I would have to talk to the manager the next day. I decided to properly measure the item myself. It was actually 78"!!! I called Adesso again. I asked the sales-women to repeat the measurements. She said 63". I then told her "I just measured and it is actually 78"!!! "So I assume I can now come in for my refund!" She had the audacity to still say I would have to talk to a manager the next day. I again told her it was her mistake and not mine. She would not budge. After 3 phone calls, about 5 minutes of going back and forth trying to get a refund, she says that her sales associate is telling her they can void out the purchase and I can return it. She made no apologies for their lack of professional conduct or for my aggravation due to her error. I will never shop at Adesso in Highland Park again :) When a business hires idiots - it only reflects on the store directly.

I have been coming to this Dollar Tree for several years, especially within the last two moves, so…read moreI've watched a lot of employees come and go. Some were great; others were not so great. But I'm updating my review SOLELY on the cashier I met for the first time yesterday. It's been a couple of decades since I was a cashier, and I remember how much you had to bite your tongue when it came to some of the comments people would make. In my case, it was usually management and not the customers. But this location always has a colorful bunch of customers that just do the most RANDOMLY outrageous stuff for no absolute reason, from digging in their noses to screaming across the aisles to completely ignoring the pandemic six-footer rule. Lately, it's been fairly normal in there. That or I'm lucking out and going at all the right times. But yesterday, I was baffled by a conversation between a white, male customer and a black, female cashier. In what should've been a non-controversial conversation about the holiday season, she mentioned off-handedly that her daughters have polar opposite personalities but she had a good Christmas nonetheless. And this guy had the audacity to ask her if she had "Bebe's Kids." That was so unnecessarily offensive, and I know he would not ask a white lady cashier this same question. When she tried to professionally and calmly correct him that these weren't small children, he switched to asking her were they like the kid in "Home Alone." How many different ways are you going to insult this woman's parental habits? I was furious, but she played it so cool. Had she responded with what I was thinking, she'd have been terminated. For that, I commend her for keeping her cool under what was a very ignorant conversation. I finally said something about not needing a bag and pushing my stuff to the front to get him to hurry up, bag his stuff and get away from me (and her). She was just as nice to me, but I do wonder if those comments rubbed her wrong. Either way, her level of patience is management material, and I hope someone acknowledges that. Happy Holidays to her for being a patient, professional and take-the-high-road mother!

(Zero stars) If…read morethere's such a thing as an "Absolutely the Worst Store Ever" award, it belongs to this s***hole. Egad, this place is so scary, families ought to bring their kids here for Halloween instead of paying admission to a haunted house! Enter at your own risk (and avoid wearing open shoes). I've visited stores in impoverished countries that are far nicer. The hopeless mess is in stark contrast to better-maintained Dollar Tree stores in the 'burbs. Merchandise is strewn on shelves helter-skelter. The floor, which likely hasn't seen a mop since the Obama era, is littered with a mix of trash, blobs of crud, and trampled merchandise. Spills are ignored. Some of the aisles are impassable, blocked by an avalanche of cartons and junk. Heck, I was afraid to breathe the air without a mask!
