3 years ago I spent a fortune furnishing my new home through Room & Board. I bought a Stevens Sectional there for $6k. Soon after I got it feathers started coming out of the cushions. I spoke to their customer service and was told it was normal and would stop and I should vacuum the cores. As time has gone on every day I pick up 10-15 feathers on the floor. I've called customer services multiple times and have been told that the feathers are supposed to come out and the cough has a 'relaxed' feel. After 3 years it looks like a bunch of bean bags. Customer service has been gaslighting me and other people, the same complaints have been put on the website concerning this product. If the product is bad or defective I hoped they'd do something, but I get nothing but gaslighting when I call. Basically I'm told to watch a video about fluffing my cushions. Meanwhile, I'm getting stuck with feathers poking through and feeling like I have egg on my face from getting rooked into thinking an expensive couch is a quality couch. Buyer beware.

I'll have that rug, that pillow, no wait that chair, oh and that piece of art too, and...and...and... Overwhelming in a really great way, I hadn't been back since I searched for a sofa, and I was quickly reminded as to why and how much I love Room & Board. Start in the kids area and this place will make you want to have kids...and lots of them...just so you can make their rooms look like the show area. Calm colors, cool artwork, and those beds! Move into the office, and you'll be all set, but not before getting a good night sleep in the mattress room. From mid-century reflections, tribal-inspired rugs, urban loft vibe, bachelor pad lounge, to the family room, you'll also find a nice small selection of outdoor furniture here. Leather sofas, lounge chairs, furry pillows, oh my. Okay, that's it! I'm moving in. Did you know they even have their own line of paint colors available? Price is a bit beyond my budget at the moment, but I will say I just got rid of my 25 year old lounge chairs, so the quality speaks for itself.

Morrison sofa in the store.  Very comfortable, deep seats, high back.  The fabric is more fuzzy / soft in person than the pic makes it look.

Ridiculous. Walked in with a drink that they want me to put in a cabinet? That's not covid protocols. That's being incredibly stupid.

First off excellent customer service! My original grill order was back ordered for a few months…read more(which I was ok with), with the distributor always promising it's coming "next week". I waited almost a month after the promised delivery date and when the new shipment finally arrived, Dan the store manager, said my grill wasn't on that shipment. He offered me another grill, which was much better by the way, for the same cost as my original. That's what I call excellent customer service. Shout-out to the whole crew at backyard Barbecue!! You guys are awesome!

We came into The Backyard Barbecue Store to get some rubs that you you cannot find just anywhere,…read morespecifically Meat Church and Porkmafia. The store has a huge selection. What we didn't realize was the absolutely giant variety of charcoal & gas grills and outdoor kitchens the store has. Seems that they have everything related to outdoor cooking. Many of the brands are ultra-premium. We have been cooking on the Big Green Egg exclusively, don't have a need for new gear, but it was really nice to hear about this stuff. Arriving hungry form the northwest suburbs we pleasantly surprised to find out they also SELL barbecue. It was lunchtime so we took a seat at the bar, each having a beer and a sandwich. The pulled pork and the brisket were really good. This is definitely a destination store, trip-worthy from anywhere. We will be back!

We called Chalet, who has done all of our landscaping to trim back and remove some bushes. Cory…read morecame out with her crew Daniel and Alberto who did an excellent job. Then, Cory had a vision, a "zen garden" for the side of our yard, which my husband thought was brilliant. Together they came up with a plan that totally changed an unused muddy spot to a magnificent walkway with new bushes and personality. Daniel and Alberto made sure that everything was perfect when they put down the stones and did the new plantings. Cory then suggested we add lights, which we then did. KUDOS to Cory for her creativity and enthusiasm. She is wonderful to work with and you can see how much she enjoys what she does. We are enjoying our yard even more, and now keep the side window open so that we can look at our new walkway. THANK YOU CORY.

04/04/26 - This afternoon I was on my way up to the northern suburbs to pick up my older sister…read morethat is visiting from the east coast & currently staying w/my younger sister. I stopped in @ Chalet Nursery for a brief look as spring is here. What I found is a very nice nursery w/an assortment of items needed to do spring planting, landscaping materials & an assortment of seeds, plants, planters, gardening tools & fertilizers.... Basically almost anything you need to start or enhance a garden. They also have an area on the north end where they have a glass enclosed area. Unfortunately I really didn't have a lot of time to shop as I was on my way to pick up my older sister but would like to come back sometime when I have a little more time to peruse the items in the store

I've shopped at all three North Shore Exchange locations and they're all fantastic. The selection…read moreis beautifully curated--clothing, shoes, accessories, furniture, and home goods--and feels more like a stylish boutique than resale. The staff is what really sets this place apart. Huge shout-out to Elsa, Rosetta, Beth, and Barb--knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely helpful. They'll help you find great pieces and talk you out of things that aren't quite right. Consigning is easy and fair, and knowing all profits support local Chicago charities makes shopping here even better. A must-visit for contemporary and luxury consignment.

I confirm the other negative comments regarding some employees…read more I went to the Wilmette sidewalk event on Friday. Although I live in Wilmette, I've never been here. I will not return due to the arrogance and microaggressions of the employees. I know my high end designer brands. I own high end designer brands. I do not always go shopping dressed to the nines. Esp to a consignment store sidewalk sale. An employee rolled her eyes when I asked her about the pricing on one of the items. No need for the attitude. While my daughter was waiting to check out, another employee approached a woman standing behind her to take her to a register. That customer asked my daughter if she wanted to go with the employee. That was classy and kind. The employee actually stammered and point my daughter to a register and proceeded to walk the customer to personally ring her up. Needless to say, we will never come back. There are better resale stores on the North Shore: across the street is the YWCA resale, KMK Luxury in Winnetka, Junior League in Evanston, New to You in Glenview, Winnetka Thrift Shop are just a few. Everyone at all those stores are respectful and kind.
