We were so disillusioned by the poor quality and high prices of places like Pottery Barn, and…read morewondered "isn't anybody making furniture from solid wood anymore?" We're so glad we found Plain & Simple. It took a while for our dining table and chairs to arrive due to the pandemic (ordered in Sept, got them in Feb), but the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. It wasn't cheap, yet it was much cheaper than Pottery Barn's "farmhouse table" and chairs/benches made from veneer, which every online forum said would chip within a month. The two delivery guys who assembled everything were great. We're very happy with the experience.

You don't just get one sales person--you get a team trying to help you find what you need. They work hand in hand to give you personal service. They can also order items that aren't in the store. I had a futon mattress from them that lasted 16 years and a bed frame that could also be used as a couch--impeccably made. I bought gorgeous futon covers from them as well. They're exceptionally patient and not pushy. But above all, their inventory is cool and their ability to find interesting furniture, lamps, etc. is so very creative.

I was so excited (and dismayed) that they already have quite a wonderful selection of Christmas ornaments (it's October) and staff were busily setting up seasonal displays with foodstuffs, decor.

It was love at first sight! I'm using it as a bookcase. I coordinated delivery through Schlep. The glass shelves were broken during delivery. I called the shop to find out if they had the measurements handy. I couldn't remember exactly how they fit inside. They didn't, but they offered to stop by to do the measurements for me! Wow. I was surprised. That kind of support is almost unheard of. We agreed on a time and the ladies showed up exactly on time and were so lovely and helpful. I will definitely shop with them again!

And the price is very good! I think based off the sign "Discount Furniture " this is more 5. Furniture at those discounts. Also, 5 showroom as well. I've been to some other locations, they were not as nice. Very impressed. Fun Art at great prices as well. I think it's a great one stop shop to decorate your Airbnb. Apartment. Condo. House or even office! I love the options and the prices. They match up. Polite service, not too pushy. I appreciate that'. Located in same mall As BMO bank & medical Pure Spa.

A quick review. I came in to look for a new dresser and unfortunately didn't find anything that…read moreworked for me. The staff did greet me and said if I needed anything to ask, but not much follow through on the service front. That's fine really, I don't like pushy sales people. I get that commission is important but I can't consider a purchase comfortably with someone hovering around, so the lax attitude was appreciated. They have some interesting and unique stuff, but some of it looks like it's been on display too long. The floor plan is a bit messy here and scratches on display models don't scream professionalism. My buddy got some things here a while back and found them to be of good quality and value, and I'd say they have a range that gets there on the higher end price wise. They also have some cheaper stuff that looks like Amazon level furniture, so you can get a range of options. I'd recommend them if your in the market for an unique accent piece.

As for this Skokie location, it's great with its big parking lot and proximity to Old Orchard mall. The service is very friendly and top notch. We are very interested in their chairs and this store will be our first choice, should we need to replace anything. Their furniture is made in the USA and it's modern, functional, comfy, and built to last. I just love everything that they offer.

Several leather chairs and a corner swivel chair caught our eye. Sales staff was friendly and helpful.

If you like vintage earrings, they have piles and piles of them to look through (clip ons too). My only small gripe is that because it is a small store packed with a lot of stuff, it can be hard to maneuver around when it's crowded. I had to do a lot of "excuse me" and wait for people to move from blocking an area I wanted to see.
