There is TONS of fabric here, as well as findings, tools, trim, etc. As a person with mobility issues, I won't lie, it's not the most accessible shopping experience ever as some things are down low or up high. But staff were available and willing to help. Prices were reasonable and it's nice to be able to see material in person rather than online.

I optimistically brought a bag for fabrics, but I unfortunately couldn't find anything quite to my taste. However, they did a great job colorcoding all of the different fabrics. The store is fairly organized considering how many donations come through. I really appreciate how they even use different drawer systems and cabinets for different subcategories of items. I do think most of the supplies would be great for educators or children: lots of odds and ends that would be put to excellent use given the right creative minds. I walked away emptyhanded, but I imagine someone would love the vintage postcards, various stamps, or Nat Geo magazines I flipped through. There's some street parking nearby, and they have a small private lot. Be sure to check their hours and any updates due to weather on their Instagram!

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.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Lord's upholstery is the worst I have ever experienced, and…read morethe materials they use are of very low quality. Don't bother telling them you are not happy, the owner didn't want to listen and refused to come and take a look. She sent some workers out with a steamer, as if that would correct the incorrectly measured and poorly constructed couch issues. I did send back the decorative silk pillows because the internal cases they had sewn to cover the pillow itself were made several inches too large, and you could see them bunching under the silk. Instead of cutting them down and sewing them correctly, they just reached in and rolled the excess up. That worked until the first person leaned against them, then they just unrolled. By the way, when they were returned I was told they had been "redone": I guess they didn't think we would notice that all they did was roll the excess up. The owner is very rude, and completely unwilling to take any responsibility. We had the couch back for about six months, only sat on it a couple of times, and it already needs to be reupholstered again. I would not recommend them under any circumstances.
