I'm an older woman by myself and those doing so feel free to make me feel afraid and uncomfortable because I'm by myself. I've lived in the area for 40 years, not only have they built the downtown up too much, increased the parking prices (if you can find parking at peak time)- you'd think the socially pious Oak Park would pour some money into stopping pedestrians from being verbally harassed and physically threatened. I have to be there a few times a month for a doctor's appointment, but soon I'll move those appointments elsewhere. I'm an older woman who walks much of the time by myself- downtown Oak Park is quickly becoming a place I want to spend fewer of my retail and entertainment dollars. Here's a hint- having people feel safe isn't racist.

And its mission is wonderful- to create jobs for individuals with intellectual impairments and fund programs to support people with special needs. This is going to be my new garden center from now on! Today, I spent $70 on gorgeous houseplants, potting soil, and ceramic potting dishes. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Seguin was stocked so well, much better than Menards. Today, I was shopping only for houseplants, but I can't wait to return in a few weeks to stock up on annuals and perennials for my outdoor gardens.

The guy with the glasses -- the one *everybody* complains about -- had apparently locked the door while he was on his lunch break, which would be no big deal except ALL the signs said "open" and it was well within normal operating hours. So we knocked a couple of times, because we'd made a special trip to the shop, and the guy finally came to the door and tried yelling at us through it but we couldn't understand him. So he opened the door and yelled: "I'm on my lunch break. I have two minutes left. I'll be back to open the door when my break is over." And he slammed the door. So ... yeah, never again.

None of the photos on Yelp look like this store currently. Store is dark, over stocked and most items, at least the half dozen i picked up, weren't marked.

Not the best way to run a business.

Very nice store!. The shop owner/manager was very welcoming and introduced the products available. This is an Ashley Furniture independent location, meaning they have Ashley Products available. Others as well. Very nice items for your home furnishings at reasonable and competitive prices. I did like there were many items at great Sale prices. There were extensive mattress options . The living room sets , he had a lot of variety and good prices. They did advertise the payment options available. 1) please remember, you can negotiate. *Which I love that idea. 2) they can help you get on a payment plan that meets your budget , if you can't pay it all upfront. I loved it when the "layaway" plans use to be available. I liked that then, but those days are gone. You can still have things you know you will pay for, it just takes a bit longer. That's very helpful for Big Purchases. I appreciate that as a customer. He also has a lower level for additionally items, mostly bedroom sets. I thought it was nice to be able to communicate with a professional that was interested in what I needed. Not to appear and sell me what I don't need . I also thought it was nice he wasn't overly "sale guy" pushing products I had no use for. I didn't feel obliged to buy anything and just looking to see what was available, I felt comfortable doing. I can say, I found several items were nice, elegant and suitable pieces that met my needs at a good cost point. I passed here several times while shopping in the neighborhood, I'm glad I stopped in this time. Also, they were pretty "high tech" and offered me assistance on the Web, of their other items not in showroom; but were available for delivery to my home as well. I realize as retail space becomes more expensive to hold, keeping product offsite is reasonable solution. Having it available to the customers , which they did, is essential. Good job! So if you don't see what you want, ask and they will look it up for you . Sales are possible as well. I recommend them based off my personal experience today, and will return. Great neighborhood place to shop and there web info... www.leylahomefurniture.com

If anyone who reads this is familiar with the rummage sales at First Presbyterian Church in Lake…read moreForest IL, The Economy Shop reminds me SO much of that kind of thing. The Economy Shop is literally a Victorian style house with every room crammed with secondhand goods and antiques. They're only open 3-4 days a month from 9am-3pm, so you need to plan your visit. When you enter, you're handed a paper sheet that is divided into different categories of merchandise. When you go to each room, they total up whatever you want to buy from that given room. When you're completely done shopping, you pay at the far back of the house and exit. Prices are fair and you can find some great stuff here. The basement was one area that was overwhelming. Almost too much to look at and fully absorb. Tips for first time visitors: 1. Bring reusable bags or a tote bag. They will give you bags but a good sturdy bag will work to your advantage. 2. Parking is tricky. You're fine on residential streets but if you park along the train tracks, you have to feed a meter. $2.00 per hour. Card payment only. 3. Leave small kids at home. The rooms and hallways are too packed and tight to reasonably manage kids in tow. I like this place! I will be back!

The place is a mess. And the people that work there are very, very rude. Won't be going back there.read more
