This place is cramped like your usual thrift shop. I contacted the owner, although he didn't…read moreidentify himself as such over Facebook Marketplace, for a item he posted there. I didn't know that this was a store until I drove up in front of it. This kind of "bait and switch" tactic is something common for shady businesses to drive foot traffic. (The lesson here is *always* street-view an address even if you're running late.) When I contacted him over FB, he never said it was a business or that this item was actively for sale on the floor. Even when I was running late to pick and messaged him *from my car as I was driving there* with a new estimated time of arrival, he confirmed that it was OK and never said it was a business or that he was still lining up other customers. I got there just in time to watch another person arrive to pick the item (that I had driven nearly an hour out of my way to come pick up) because he also arranged a pick-up with her at the same time. This business claims to be a charity for a supported living facility for recovering addicts, which is laudable and the type of business I would love to support. As far as an internet search tells me, Trinity Sober Living is an LLC, not a non-profit. While I'm sure there are many for-profit recovery centers that help people, they are not charities. It's disappointing to see such deceptive and misleading business practices from this owner.

I would like to update my review. I did have the sofa redone at your shop. We discussed ad nauseam…read morethat it would be a comfortable soft sofa and that the velvet would not attract as much dust and lint as it does. You said it was specifically a better product. I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.

This was the second major purchase I have done with China Furniture & Arts. Both experiences were…read morevery pleasant and easy. Both times I purchased large furniture and all the pieces arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Both times the sales person on the phone was knowledgeable and helpful and courteous. The quality of my furniture was very good. I bought a long cabinet the first time and a buffet and china cabinet (2 pieces) the second time. They are beautiful and well made. The delivery process was easy with the guys handling my furniture and taking great care like it was their own. I will buy from China Furniture & Arts again.

We used Design Inside for our recent condo renovation, and we were pleased with our designer,…read moreAbigail. We had looked into three or four design firms and went with Design Inside because we got along well with Abigail from the initial consultation. She's friendly and had suggestions from our first meetings. Our remodeling scope was pretty basic (resurface hardwood floors, install new tiling, new lighting, new kitchen countertops/backsplash/hardware, painting, etc.) We weren't planning on taking down any walls or putting up new walls - hence "pretty basic" in our eyes! The initial few weeks involved back and forth with designs and occasional meetings with Abigail so she could get a handle on what we wanted done. Abigail was accommodating with meeting/phone times, and would often meet with us late afternoons or early evening. She created designs we had never thought of doing (enclosing in structural poles, wainscoting, etc). Abigail also was able to easily "read" my husband and I in terms of color schemes and we ended up choosing one of the first few samples of tiling and backsplash that she dropped off with us. Kudos for that! Abigail also provided us bimonthly hours summary / detail so we knew how much we were being charged for her services. She would break down the time she spent working for us by the minute and it was helpful to see where our dollars were being spent. From a "grand overall design", Abigail did a good job, but when we started getting into the details in the later phases, we did run into a few minor issues. I recommend ordering all materials / furniture / art yourself and not going thru Design Inside. With a little work on the intranet, you can find it cheaper, not to mention a lower delivery charge. We had a few material mix-ups with Design Inside - i.e. we received the wrong hardware; not enough tile or grout was ordered. Abigail's measurements for the den were incorrect so she didn't order enough tile / grout - her measurements for the wallpaper were also off, but this time we almost ordered too much. The invoice system used by Design Inside is a little confusing and you should pay very close attention and track your own expenses. It's hard to describe but trying to track all the bills and refunds with the invoices provided was difficult. Overall - I would recommend Design Inside and Abigail for your remodeling needs. I would just offer a bit of advice to double check measurements and order your own materials, but would still recommend the company. Abigail provided different designs and options that demonstrated her design skills as well as her ability to connect with us in terms of what our goal of the remodel was. In our eyes, that was key.

Katy is the perfect mix of practical and design savvy. In our first meeting, Katy helped me to…read moreprioritize my projects for the biggest impact. In addition, she directed me on where to invest dollars and where we could save. We worked on several areas of my home in tandem...living room, hallway, master bedroom and guest room. Not to mention storage ideas and thoughts on future bathroom projects. The process was seamless and easy. We put a plan together in a few hours and we were off to the races. One of the most enjoyable experiences in working with Katy was the ability for me to add my own personal touches along the way. She really adapts to her clients in terms of how involved they would like to be. For me, I had lots of ideas that Katy helped me bring to life, streamline and balance. And she also encouraged me to take chances with paint colors, fabric upholstery choices and more. My gallery wall is one of my favorites! I could never have measured and hung with such precision. And my reupholstered hallway bench is one of my favorite stand-out pieces. Thanks Katy! I love Katy's design eye, easy-to-work with attitude and desire to put her client's style into every choice. My condo is finally a home! Love it! I highly recommend working with Design Inside and I plan on doing so for my next projects!
