Their best categories being, chandeliers (glass & crystal), wall sconces and flush mounts. In these categories you can find something different that is not found in the big box stores. In the front area of the store they also offer a couple curio style cabinets. Occasionally, they may offer a floor display at a discounted rate. I had an old lamp that was in disrepair. The wiring had gone loose and socket out of alignment. I was holding onto it for sentimental value, until one day a family member finally pushed me to fix or junk it. They mentioned seeing a lighting store in Skokie. For some years I have been trying (not often enough) to find a lighting store that is open and will repair my lamp. There are a couple of these stores on the north and nw sides of Chicago. However, all of them have select hours that they are open. In the past, another store in Edgewater suggested junking it for something newer. At the time they said it was too expensive to repair. Glad I held onto it. It was an inexpensive repair. So, Vogue. Found reviews online and placed a call. They said they do repairs of all sorts of indoor lighting and offer reasonable pricing for repairs. At dropoff I was quoted, $20 bucks. Far more reasonable than the other shop. The work was completed within a few days and when I returned for pickup, the associate mentioned that other customers had inquired about purchasing it. Now to move furniture around so that more can enjoy its aesthetic qualities.

That said, they had some beautiful fixtures and we would definitely look there if we needed new lighting. Thanks, Matt!

She did not pressure us to make a decision the first day but encouraged us to go home and think about the design. Steve had added this light to this fan which was on display and we were enamored upon walking into the store. We came back the next week and put in our order! It is beautiful and lights up (and dims down!) the island and the kitchen perfectly. The fan is amazing to have in the kitchen while I am cooking, I can't wait until I can try it during summer! Dawn also recommended Fasolo Electrical to install the fan and I can't praise Ryan and Faizon enough for the quality work they did. We will continue to recommend and use Littman Brothers Lighting as our go to resource for all our lighting needs!

They were so fast and efficient that my project came in under budget. Greg is a true expert when it comes to electrical work.

My wife and I selected Chi Renovation to do a complete remodel of our primary bathroom and to add a…read morehalf bathroom to our basement. We have nothing but the highest praise to give to them for delivering such a fantastic end result. The team we worked with was fantastic. We really enjoyed the hands on process of working with Elizabeth, our designer, who helped guide us through the entire process of creating our dream primary bathroom. We had a fair bit of back and forth throughout the design process but it resulted in some highly detailed and thorough design plans, which included realistic renderings, all the selected hardware and finishes, and overall layouts. We felt like we got great advice from Elizabeth, and she really listened to what kind of look and feel we were going for. We then got with Daniel, our project manager, who helped turn the plans we received into reality. He was also a pleasure to work with and always provided very clear project updates via text and phone. The teams he assembled for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry were all very professional and did great work. Daniel was also a great problem solver who was able to come up with clever solutions to any issues that came up. In summary, we are very happy owners of two completely new bathrooms spaces designed and built by the lovely team at Chi Renovation. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a remodel in the Chicago area.

We recently had our bathrooms remodeled, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The scope of our project included a full renovation of primary, kids and guest bathrooms, and the quality of craftsmanship really shows in every space. From the tile work to the fixtures and overall layout, everything feels high-quality and thoughtfully done. We especially appreciated the unique elements incorporated into the design, like the wall-mounted faucets, recessed vanities, heated floors, and heated bidets--features that truly elevated both the look and comfort of our bathrooms. The team was excellent to work with from start to finish. Elizabeth, our designer, and Eric, our project manager, were both fantastic and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Elizabeth helped bring our vision to life with thoughtful design choices and a great eye for the overall look and feel, while Eric kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Our contractor, also named Eric, did very high-quality work, and it really shows in the finished product. Everyone we interacted with was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Communication was consistent, and we always felt informed about what was happening next. The team's level of care and precision really stood out--they made sure everything was done right. The entire process, from design to construction to the final finishing touches, was smooth and well-managed. They helped guide us through design decisions without pressure, kept the project moving on schedule, and made sure the final result matched (and even exceeded) our expectations. The end result is a set of bathrooms that not only look amazing but feel built to last. We're extremely happy with the quality of work and the overall experience, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a remodel.

I truly wish I had nicer things to say. Crest has been a Chicago staple and when I finally was…read moreready to upgrade my lighting again I went back to the place that had been tried and true for me years ago. But it seems that era has ended. I came in a hot mess, I have no design skills. I relied on the sales person to help me and I thought she was amazing. She was kind, patient and seemed to really get me and my condo style - benig "vintage" and wanting to modernize was beyond me. She was super helpful and made me feel like she knew exactly what I needed. That was until I left the showroom. I ordered two ceiling fans from her that day, it wasn't cheap. I also ordered one I'd found on my own online. I hired someone reputable to install them for me and I was all set. But then they left and within days the two I purchased from Crest (different manufacturers) were both on the fritz. Hard to believe for sure, but both manufacturers agreed this was a fluke and they both had inherent issues requiring replacement. And then I had to replace them, which meant I had to pay for the labor again. One of the fixtures is in a room I hadn't needed the fan for in the first year. But then I did, and it didn't work. At that same time I noticed the on/off switch wasn't working properly either. I called the manufacturer and they agreed it was a warranty claim and to call Crest to replace the wall switch. Not something I feel comfortable doing on my own. When I talked to Crest, they said they'd order me a part and well... they did but never called to tell me it had come in. I called on my own three weeks later and they said it was there waiting for me. I verified I could wait for the weekend to get it. Of course they are closed on Sundays so It had to be during the short Saturday hours. I raced to get there in the window only to find a lot of confusion. It wasn't waiting for me at all. The woman who said she'd call me was there and surprised I was asking questions. She said she hadn't heard back from the manufacturer to answer my question about paying for labor, and they all just threw their hands up and said they couldn't help me because the manager wasn't there. Let's just say it's the end of an era and I won't be back for business in the future. Good luck with your purchases after you leave the store.

I need to set aside some time to revisit and actually browse their light fixtures because their inventory has some gorgeous and unique items.
