I loved this place. They are very welcoming (s/o to Angela the owner) and they have something for everyone. The vibes are great here. It's also the first consignment shop on the south side of Chicago (that I know of). I highly recommend checking them out. I found some great stuff! read more

Root Consignment Company - Church pew - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Don't let the negative reviews from the two lunatic people who are pissed they didn't get their crappy consignment items accepted for sale dissuade you from checking out Root. Calling the owner "full of herself" because she gets to choose what she accepts to sell in her own store is pretty good proof you aren't getting a review from a reasonable person. Also, the parking here is totally fine. You can usually get a spot right in front of the store or directly across the street. It is metered but I stopped paying because I've never seen anyone ticketing there. As for the store, I have lived in the neighborhood since June 2021 and I have purchased multiple items. There is always new, interesting pieces coming in and I stop in every couple of weeks. The owner and her staff are welcoming and allow you to browse without bothering you. The prices are extremely fair. This is a great, neighborhood shop that we all should support. read more

This place is super cool and unique! A gem of the neighborhood. I always find at least one thing I have to buy when I go in there. Lovely store! read more

Fantastic shop with incredible selection previously loved furniture, decor, clothing, jewelry, etc.. All at fantastic prices!

You will always find a treasure there! read more

Root Consignment Company - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is hands down my favorite shop. I consign here and I also shop here. This place is incredible for unique housewares, lighting, and even clothing and accessories. I have been consigning here for a few years and yes, you may have to do your own due diligence with inventory nowadays with them, but that's a good thing. They used to do a generic inventory but stuff is coming in and going out so fast that they now just send you a check or you can keep it for credit towards future shopping. It's one of the higher paying percentages as far as consignment. Oh and they have great and varied taste so your stuff isn't amongst a ton of junk. Her prices are reasonable and that's why there is such a high turnover of goods which makes it constantly fresh. It's nice to see that they didn't start getting crazy with their prices as they get more and more business. I try to pop in every couple weeks and it's ALWAYS different. Tip: They sometimes get really rare pieces and you can be the first to see them if you follow their Instagram stories. Love this spot! read more

My sister e and I had to sadly deal with clearing out a lit of my sister's clothing after her passing we both came in from other states. Our little sister was a "Fashionesta" size 2-4. The owner ans staff were very receptive and appreciative. We received payments by mil in a timely fashion as clothing and shoes were sold. We have returned to chicago to repeat the clearing out of more items. Awesome staff..excuse typos but you get it they're Awesome and kind. read more

Root Consignment is my go to place for all things quality! I've basically furnished my home and office with the vintage items I found there. I've also purchased boots, shoes, sneakers and clothing items from there. I continuously receive compliments on items purchased from Root. The pricing is fair and the items line up with my taste and decorating style. Oh did I mention the fun fabulous jewely and sunglasses??? There is always something different. read more

I can not say enough GREAT things about Root Consignment!! Every time I walk in I am greeted like an old friend. The shop is always so lively & energizing I always leave in a great mood! There are always some new, different & unique treasure to discover! I also consign my things there because I feel they care as much about my things as I do!! I recommend checking this treasure chest out, you will definitely find something you treasure!! Beckie I read more

Root Consignment doesn't have any issues with their store often smelling of marijuana but they routinely refuse clothes that they claim smell like smoke. Freshly washed clothing that actually don't have my odor. read more

Root is the very Best Consignment Shop and a huge asset to the Beverly Hills Neighborhood of Chicago. Consigners finally have a consignment shop that will accept their high-end merchandise and Angela, the fantastic very personable owner, will market your consigned merchandise so that you do not have to try and market it yourself on Ebay. I consign and I buy and I have never been disappointed in what I have purchased. Yes, Angela has a brand that she holds to what will sell in her Shop and knows what won't sell. Some may describe it as picky, no, it is not picky, it is Smart! read more

If Yelp puts this store is in the thrift store category, then its the classiest thrift store I have ever stepped foot in. They have gently used high quality items. Root is constantly getting new items, it is never stale. They carry vintage furniture pieces and other eclectic decorative items. We bought a very nice dresser here last summer and a cute little desk in the fall. I am still kicking myself for not buying the comfiest little baker love seat they had. Also, I have consigned a few items here myself. They always reasonably price everything and are realistic about what will sell and what won't. I believe if things do not sell after a certain amount of time they will donate it. Can't forget to give a shout-out to the super friendly and helpful staff! read more

This place is worth checking out. The interior was chic and the selection was good. They had a lot of vintage furniture in great condition - wooden desks, sitting chairs, mirrors, etc. Prices were reasonable. Stop by on your way home from the train, just to take a look. They have a lot of neat stuff! read more

They have a nice rotation of items. I usually find something unique. Also nearby is Three Sisters in Blue Island, in the old Woolworth building, could spend the day there. read more

Absolutely love this store! Great finds and unique items. Prices are very reasonable. The staff was very nice. Will come back again for sure! read more

Lovely spot near the train station. Found a terrific NWT dress. Wish I lived local: interesting array of gorgeous floor lamps. High end items with approximately priced consignment items. read more

REALLY GREAT shop.....Lot's of very cool retro stuff to choose from. I bought a lamp, but I am hoping to go back soon with more money to spend....you are bound to find something you like or even LOVE at Root. I'm glad we have a local business such as this one. read more

I bought a china cabinet, and my movers backed out at the last minute. The owner would not hold it for more than a week or refund my money. She just said "there are other movers" and walked away from me. Unfortunately, I work 12 hour nights in ICU and a lot of overtime because of the pandemic, so I won't be able to arrange transport with the stores limited hours. She keeps my $100 and I have no china cabinet. This store is not a good choice if you have a job and a tight schedule. read more

Great new addition to Beverly...even more specifically, it's a great addition to 103rd street!! Beautifully done both inside and out. Prices are good and owners are friendly and helpful. Man...woman...young...old....impossible to go in and not find something cool. read more

First and foremost, I love consignment shops and I would go out of the Beverly community and shop on the North Side for consignment shops, but I decided to stay South and give the dollars locally. Today was my last time of ever stepping foot inside of Root. The owner have two business faces she show, one for her Caucasian customers and one for her African American customers. I have frequented the store many times and when African American customers are in the store, the owner is very nice and polite, when it's a mixture of both where there is predominantly white customers she acts very cooly towards her African American consumers and it shows, the friendliness immediately goes away. I was in the store and I overheard three other women quietly discussing the same thing, and I knew it wasn't me! So I will take my green dollars and give them to another community, because she will be happier with her white patrons who come in her store. read more

As a frequent thrift shopper, I have to say Root Consignment is an absolute favorite. The fact that they're local and have high-end style in their store from furniture to shoes to jewelry and more, it's such a great find! The staff is friendly and every time I walk in there are newer great finds! Beverly hasn't had many thrift stores in the area so this one better be here to stay! :) read more

Worth checking out. Very classy, well selected pieces. You never know what treasure you will find. I've scored a Coach purse, just the right fireplace tools, and many more goodies. My routine is to walk through post yoga every week. Highly recommend. read more

Love this place! I always find the coolest little nicknacks. Plus a great selection of clothes and art

Root is the hidden gem of Beverly. I have been coming here consistently for the past four years. They have fantastic quality, one-of-a-kind pieces at an unbeatable price. The items are expertly curated, the owner only takes the best. The atmosphere is clean and relaxing, and the employees are kind, always striking up polite conversation with their customers. read more

Do not consign here. They will take your stuff and not pay you. They won't tell you if it has sold. They won't send you a check. It just disappears. L read more

Ridiculously expensive "thrift store" a pair of old used sunglasses should never cost $14 especially if they aren't even name brand. Also you can't pay with card unless you spend $10 which is just dumb and bad. read more

I will first start out by saying that the items in this store are actually quite nice and in many instances unique. However shopping and whether or not a customer comes back is about the "experience" not just the item. My very first time at Root (about 6 months ago) was a very pleasant experience and the owner was Professional, helpful, and seemed as if she appreciated that we decided to check her store out. In fact at the time my sister and I were the only ones in the store (we are both African American) Very excited about my finds I just knew that I wanted to come back. Unfortunately the next time I came back there were others in the store (Caucasians at the time) but this time I noticed something seemed a little different about the owner. There was not that friendliness there that I initially saw although it was there for the other customers who were Caucasian. I initially blew it off as I was imagining things, or perhaps being a bit over sensitive. However on subsequent visits at least 5 more times I experienced the same type of vibe (that she could take or leave her African American customers). Today I was in the store and once again I noticed it. Actually I had two people who were also African American with me and without even mentioning what I had been thinking they too expressed a similar feeling. I shop at Root Consignment strictly out of choice not because of need. But after today I have decided that I will no longer support this establishment. Perhaps there are African American customers that will say that was not their experience but I can pretty much guarantee that there are probably a nice number of African Americans who have experienced this but for a various reasons just never wrote a review. It is really sad because the store itself is nice. But I would rather spend my money at an establishment where the owner appreciates me as a customer regardless of who is or isn't in their store at the time. read more

I don't ever give 5 stars but this lovely store deserves it. the merchandise is well selected. the variety is diverse and the items are distinct. Its fun to shop here and the staff is uber friendly and helpful. I have many lovely finds in my home from Roots. Its the best and I am so glad its in my neighborhood. read more

This place is magical. It's the best thing to happen to Beverly & honestly one of the best consignment stores on the planet. I'm almost hesitant to offer up this review & let everyone in on this secret. However, I'm madly in love with Angela (the owner) & Molly who helps run the place & I want this place to thrive. Let me brag about my spoils! Two Prada skirts: $20 each. Angora/Wool blend Cream colored Via Spiaga winter coat: $7.25 (Normally $200+). Black Michael Kors belted Dress: $20 (Still in stores at $125) . Flax Wool Coat: $60 (Normally $365). I can keep going. Angela is brilliantly selective & only takes things that are adorable. In addition, she has an amazing eye for fabulous furniture & decor. As with all consignment shops, if you don't find something one day, come back the next & you will feast. Moral of the story... if you like consignment/re-sale shopping, take the time to travel to the deep depths of the South Side. You'd be a moron not to. read more
