I have shopped at this store for most my life, Usually employees are very helpful and sweet. Today…read moreI went to return a few products that my elderly parents had and had not opened/used that they asked me. The manager Bill came over and in front of three young cashiers that he was training said, "what are you trying to do, empty out someone's garage." Without the cashier having even finished scanning the items to see if they could be returned he had made his decision/judgement. I find his comment disinhibited, judgemental, and quite unprofessional. In a day where people can more easily shop from amazon or home depot down the street; the ones that continue to come to your store out of loyalty you lose with nasty managers such as Bill.

Then I ask them if they could open the older plastic paint sample top and they both roll their eyes at me and they can't do that with either ( their own product). Terrible attitudes for employees. One of the guys (white guy) was in a bad mood. Gotta love it when you leave your business in the hands of employees like this. I won't ever be doing business here again, and I'll go out of my way to let all my business contacts know and do the same. Too many other shops to support that actually support and respect a paying repeating customer.

We have been slowly giving our 100+ year-old home a facelift for the past 3 years, and I could not…read morehave done it without Linda at JC Licht in Northbrook. She was the biggest help to me when it came to picking out wallpaper and paint colors. She has been so patient throughout the entire process, and her knowledge when it comes to paint colors and wallpaper is off the charts! She would have me send pictures of the room, and even just from a photo would be able to tell me what would work. Sure enough her instincts were spot on every time...I'd bring home what she suggested to see in the room and she was always right! She takes all factors into account, and makes sure that she has a very good grasp on what is going on in a room (furniture, decor, light, adjacent rooms, etc) before suggesting colors. The process of picking out wallpaper proved to be harder than anticipated, as many of my selections were either discontinued or the minimums were way beyond what I needed for bathrooms and a mudroom. Linda always had back-up suggestions for me of similar papers that would work with price points that were always within my budget. She also helped us pick out our window treatments for a few rooms, and once again really knew how to tie it all together. If you need guidance when it comes to paint colors, wallpaper and window treatments you MUST go see Linda. Her help was invaluable to me and to the many others who I have referred to her. I have to also mention that everyone else who works at this JC LIcht is equally as kind, helpful and accommodating.
