Highly recommend that chair and this local business for your office furniture needs. Thanks, Mike!

We picked everything she needed in about an hour, and they delivered it to her office in the Loop a couple days later. Everything is higher quality than what you'll find at Staples, and usually for a similar price (when you factor in the discount--see next paragraph). If you go on the first Saturday of the month before 2 PM, everything is 30% off and delivery is free. The staff was very helpful. Can't imagine having a better experience!

It turns out Jim Henry Inc. is an 80 year old business which provides frames, certificates, and…read morewhat I'll call trinklets (small plaques and trophies, medallions, pins, pendants, etc) mostly for the medical profession.  I ordered a gift frame for my son's medical board certificate and being sorta in the Chicagoland neighborhood and to save $19 in shipping cost, I queried and was amicably agreed a physical pickup in lieu of shipping.  After just a few days' wait for the frame prep, I also got to meet Chris McClurg, the friendly president of the company who while presenting my purchase also gave me a little tour of their office and product displays.  They are located in a quaint industrial section of St. Charles and near the DuPage airport.  They have customers from all over the world.  I made an observation that businesses like Jim Henry have longevity by finding a solid niche and with theirs being mostly (but not exclusively) associated with the medical profession.  I noticed how all of the son's celebrated milestones (diplomas, degrees, certifications, etc) came with different sized certificates and each had their own preferred frame supplier - what a racquet I thought!  Anyway, this was most certainly a one time visit, but I mentioned to Chris that because he had a Yelp listing with no info nor reviews, I would oblige him with a written thank you and a little PR, and here it is!

I've been meaning to have my great grandmothers homemade hand-stitched Barbie clothes framed. It's…read moreone of those projects where I just have to take the 1st step: put all the Barbie clothes in a bag and bring them to Dupage Framing Center. So I did that. THAT alone was a big enough step! Thankfully Bob and Mary helped me with the rest of the way. This is a very sentimental framing project and they were both lovely to work with! Mary was more of the creative mastermind while Bob floated around to give his 2 cents here and there. We started grandiose. Maybe too grandiose for my budget. Custom framing is expensive - Mary explained to me that "fabric goes with fabric". These little Barbie clothes would be sewn onto a fabric background. She herself sewed each piece onto a gorgeous pinstripe silk background that I chose. Bob was great helping pick a frame that was deep enough to showcase the clothing. They both offered several options and allowed me to take my time choosing. I'm so over the moon with how my project turned out. I'm eager to create a few other projects that have been swirling around in my brain with them! Thank you so much for the care and effort you out into my piece

You might be looking for something specific or you might be browsing the aisles, unsure of what you actually want or need, but... They look to find you...THE CUSTOMER, to make your project venture...a success. I'd like to give them a mention as they recently opened just over 1 year ago in October of 2021 and deserve recognition. Store Hours are 7 days a week... Monday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Tuesday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Wednesday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Thursday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Friday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Saturday: 7:30 AM-6:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Phone: (630) 394-2378 They offer everything, including... - paints - household hardware for home improvements - electrical supplies - cleaning products - housewares - gardening - grilling - tools and utensils You may think...well, what makes them any different than a Home Depot, Lowe's or Ace Hardware Store? It's about customer service and forming real relationships. They're a community based small business and their mission is about personalized service to make your life easier. Businesses like this need to be supported. And St. Charles is part of giving back to fellow neighborhood organizations. They sponsor the Anderson Humane, The Chamber of Commerce, St Charles Business Alliance, St Charles East and North High Schools. They have a terrific "Best Rewards" Customer Loyalty Program. It's a way for them to say..."thank you to those who have become part of our local, independently owned hardware store family", according to their website. A hardware store can be filled with an overabundance of supplies and gadgets that can leave the average household/business owner feeling overwhelmed. Here at St. Charles, it's their kindness and hands on human-element experience that go a long way in making the improvements journey...a fulfilling one.
