Brought his shop to me!
June K.

Jason was incredible to work with! Kind, prompt, and skilled. I received my parents' almost 40 year old solid wood table for my own home, and unfortunately the legs became unstable and broke after a lot of wear and tear. I needed to fix it ASAP, as it has a lot of sentimental value. I posted an SOS on Facebook, and Jason answered! Because the table is large and solid wood (and I live on the fourth floor of a walk up), I was worried about transporting it to be repaired. But after a quick consult and measure, Jason brought all this tools to me, and fixed it right in my dining room in under 2 hours. It is now sturdier than ever! If you need any woodworking or beautifully built furniture, Waldron Bro's is your stop.

Before - weird/semi-useless space

Jason does truly amazing work. My wife and I had an odd-shaped pop up in our office that made 25% of the room somewhat unusable. Jason helped us turn this unusable space into a cozy reading nook/day bed with a giant drawer for more storage. The quality of the craftsmanship is INCREDIBLE. He totally transformed the room into a space we actually want to spend time in now. We would HIGHLY recommend Waldron Bros Woodworking to anyone. On top of being a super talented woodworker, Jason is also really nice and very professional. Even more importantly, he was easy to communicate with during the entire process. We'd definitely work with him again.

Waldron Brothers Carpentry chopping board top for our new kitchen island.

MAGNIFICENT WORK! In renovating the kitchen at our summer house, our favorite place in the world, we included a substantial and handsome island to anchor the room. The cabinet company created the base, and we were left to find an affordable chopping board top. Referred to Waldron Brothers Woodworking by another wonderful tradesman (Wade Brothers Carpentry), we hired Jason Waldron to create this for us. Jason created a masterpiece for us. At 5' x 8' and 3 inches thick, this enormous Island top, all of it usable cutting board, is truly magnificent. Jason clearly loves what he does and takes pride in his work. He took special care and made numerous visits to ensure that the other trades related to the island (cooktop and prep sink set into the chopping block) we're done correctly and without impact to the chopping top - his contribution. Jason even came out to give us a lesson in proper care. This will be the center of the hearth in our beloved home for generations to come. Beyond all of this, Jason is a pleasure to work with. Highly Recommended!

Jason crafted the sign for behind my bar, Barrel Society, in Princeton, IL. He also crafted the lettering for the exterior signage. Jason did an incredible job and I will definitely be working with him again!

Done!

We started a living room shelving/cabinetry project in April, hoping it to be done by the end of July. We got it done in September, but I'm still giving Jason 5 stars. WHY? BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY AWESOME. Jason was wonderful with communication, so even though we were delayed (for VARIOUS random reasons), he always kept me informed. And very sweetly, he made my daughter a Pikler triangle because we moved out the deadline a bit for personal reasons. Jason goes above and beyond. He really takes pride in his work and it shows. He are some photos of my living room!

After

Jason did a great job with a total pain in the butt project. Essentially, he made very precisely cut fillers that filled gaps on either side of our fridge, making it look integrated (as it was supposed to when our contractor installed it). He was a pleasure to work with and his work made a world of difference

See all

A great place to get unique, solid wood furniture! After buying a home in the midst of the pandemic…read moreand lumber shortages, it was really hard to find affordable wooden furniture. Upon discovering Nadeau, we found many pieces here that we love and make our home shine! How it works is that they'll have tons of pieces that are constantly rotating, I think often made from salvaged wood in India. Here are some tips we encountered: - Check the pieces carefully - make sure drawers or doors open and close well, and you may want to think about how things close. Some use a hook mechanism which can be tedious for a cabinet you use a lot. We made sure to get one with a magnetic closure. - Nadeau can put you in touch with freelancers who can deliver the furniture for you. Or you can rent a Uhaul and do it yourself! - They do have a very specific set of styles - when we went, it was a lot of mid-century modern, intricately carved stuff, and distressed paint. So it may not fit all styles. - Check their Instagram and join their mailing list! That way you can see their latest shipments and claim anything that catches your eye. Happy shopping!

If you're shopping for items in low-traffic areas that will get little use, this place is great…read more If you're looking for core furniture that you're going to use daily- do NOT recommend. We bought a beautiful dresser three years ago for ~$1000. It had everything we wanted in our price range, enough drawers for both of us, gorgeous details on the outside, that millennial grey color that we love, no complaints. Amazing service at the store. Within a few months, one of the handles snapped off one of my drawers. Then another. Nbd, someone is giving away really good drawer pulls in my local Buy Nothing group. Problem solved. Fast forward about a year, my bottom drawer breaks on the frame. No problem, I pick up a few wood screws from a friend and repair it myself. Now, about a year later, the front panel on one of the smaller drawers has come completely off on the left side, and I can't repair it. Over the three years we've had this dresser, it has slowly been breaking down in new and frustrating ways. And though the folks who work at Nadeau are really friendly people, that "all sales final rule" can and will bite you in the butt. But hey if I ever want to become an Airbnb landlord who pays as little money as possible for instagram-pleasing furnishings, this is the place. Edit- I lived in NYC when I created my yelp account over ten years ago. I never bothered to change my location until now (probably because I didn't know that was a thing!) Nadeau messaged me saying no one from the store recalls ever speaking with me- my husband called Nadeau about the drawers. Seeing as it was several months ago that he called, and his name isn't Holly, I wouldn't expect anyone to remember the call! As I said, the person was very nice, but told us that all sales are final, and that's fine! I have nothing against the quality service of the store, my problem is with the quality of the furniture.

We had a stellar experience with Joybird in Chicago, and with Kevin and the entire team! My wife…read moreand I (with the help of other family members - too many cooks complicated this LOL!) had a difficult time trying to pick from all the awesome sofas and colors that Joybird provides. Plus, we had an odd shaped room that we recently rehabbed that we needed the sofa in, and the Joybird team patiently looked at our many diagrams of possibilities, made their own suggestions and fielded our questions. I am certain I would have not been as patient with us as they were. They didn't make us feel stupid for all our questions, or rush us when we were clearly "chieftains of indecision". This was true even when we lingered a bit long at or near closing time. The jaybird team made so many accommodations and changes for us and we felt genuinely cared for us even with our idiosyncrasies. We finally finally made up our minds on the exact sofa, number of pieces and color, and now have this great new sofa in our basement movie room. Even the delivery guys were exceptional. I would encourage anyone looking for furniture to check out Joybird in chicago. For sure!!! Chris S

We shopped around before ultimately picking a Joybird couch. The combination of comfort, color and…read moreoptions that fit into our space were what won us in the end, as well as helpful in store customer service from John both times we were in the shop. We got our couch during a sale, and even with adding back in the five-year warranty (which also included two large cushions as part of the package) the cost was cheaper than the list price. Our delivery was several weeks after ordering, which was sooner than estimated; the delivery guys unwrapped the couch parts and put on the feet, but oddly did not clip the sections together; seems like that should be done while everything is in its disassembled state? So now we have to figure that out. But happy with the couch so far: very comfortable (I don't want to get off of it).

Ukrainian Village, West Town

After purchasing my first condo this past Fall, I had a long wish list of furniture and decor -…read morenearly everything with difficult, hard-to-find dimensions. I also had a very specific vision for each piece I was looking for, so I wasn't an easy-to-please shopper, to say the least. In fact, I was having a hell of a time, and was at my wit's end, especially with a few particular items on my list. When I stopped in to Inside Home, I didn't expect to find anything that met my uber-specific shopping goals. However, with the help of the store owner Jason, I ended up checking TWO of the most nagging items off my furniture wish-list! Jason was a real hero. Jason asked me, as he probably asks most customers, if I was shopping for anything in particular. I said "Oh gosh, lots of things..." Most shopkeeps would stop there and say, "Okay, let me know if you have any questions", or some other bullshit, and I would probably leave their shop empty handed. But Jason delved further. He asked the right questions, got me talking, and got me to reveal that I was looking for brass swing-arm sconces for my bedroom. He then proceeded to go to his back room, and returned with two PERFECT vintage brass swing-arm sconces. WHAT?! How in the world?! With just a single offhand comment, Jason solved my bedroom lighting dilemma in an instant. Jason hadn't yet done a restoration of the sconces, which was why he hadn't put them on the sales floor, so before he sold them to me, he spent over an hour re-wiring the electrical, installed brand new bulbs, and cleaned them all up! To top it off, he sold them to me at a great bargain. In summary, Inside Home offers a stunningly curated mix of vintage-modern and new-modern furniture, lighting, textiles, and decor. I have gotten lucky with their one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, and I couldn't be happier with their customer service. My only qualm with the shopping experience here is that the owner appears to keep his young son with him at the store every day. Not only does being on permanent babysitting duty create an awkward environment for the store customers, but I can't imagine that being cooped up in a high-end furniture store every day is the proper stimulation for a growing boy. The Inside Home shopping experience could go from Great to Perfect if customers could hold a conversation with the owner without being constantly interrupted by a talkative, inquisitive toddler. Great job, guys! Keep up the good hunting. Hope to see you in the neighborhood for many years to come.

Awesome selection and style, great customer service, super friendly and helpful. Loved itread more
