    Its my aunt's couch!!!!! prefectly entombed in polyvinyl chloride
    Karen G.

    Within my lifetime, people understood what it was like to be poor. They understood saving for things and making sure these things lasted. I'm not talking about the Money magazine people who whine they can't make it on $150,000 a year. I'm talking about hard working, hard drinking Poles and Italians of my childhood. The kind that saved string, coffee cans,and bacon fat. I have noticed the yelpers in Chicago tend to be younger.... you DO realize people save bacon grease? These people saved for a long time for things..... particularly FURNITURE. For those of you on a certain ago, think back... thank back to a hot summer day, the day your parents drag you to your Auntie Anna and Uncle Forian's house. You sit on the couch ... and your ass is on fire...... Yes, the plastic covering preserving the furniture has stuck to your legs.....As you peel your skin off the 130 F plastic, you curse the depression era mentality of your crazy relatives. SO, despite the odd name, I stop in this store... and it was LOVELY. Bibles for &*^#^%%& as far as I am concerned, what a delightful store!!!!! Its clean, non smelly, HUGE and super well originized.. And best of all - prefect vintage plastic covered couchs! THese things never survive the leaking plastizers, sun damage, spilled "pussycat"drink mix, old poeple stank.. NICE! The glass seletcion is heavy on classic cordial glasses and 1960/1950s punch sets and etehed wine glasses. This isn't the place for beer glasses, and goofy vintage 1950s glasses. Classic church lady all the way here. Vareid selection of furniture - but it was great that there was much furinture- dining tables, side tables, counchs, lamps. Art along every wall of the place. lots of empty picture frames -4 x 6, and 3 x 5., selction of greeting cards, lots of clothes ( didnt look at these), and a nice christmas selction of decor items [ most of the back of the store was Christmas. I assume the holiday changes with the seasons? exercise equipment selection,huge kitchen area and lots of toys. And best of all, full of colorful neighborhood characters- old ladies in head scarves clogs and white socks and friendly kind smily ladies. I recommend a visit!

    I was so very impressed with this place. The items are reasonably priced. It's very well organized. The people are incredible. It's very clean. And best of all the money goes towards the mission next door. I can't wait to get back here.

    I bought this dress for $3 at the Bridge Thrift. It was in amazing condition and super adorable!

    The BEST thrift store in all the Midwest! I grew up in Orland Park, but moved to California for my work. I make a trip to the Bridge Thrift every time I return home to visit. Such a clean and organized store. The prices are extremely reasonable and there is such a unique selection of items to explore. I love the vintage section a lot. If you aren't shopping at the Bridge Thrift, you're doing everything wrong. The proceeds help support the Bridge Teen Center that give back to the community's students!

    Thrift store heaven. Smell? None, just clean air. Lol. Everything is soooo neat, organized, and nicely displayed. Pricing is great, imo bc there are many glass items under $1 (shot glass, etc). Def worth your time to browse their stock.

    This was a really good thrift store. I don't ordinarily find such an interesting array of items. This is a place definitely worth looking into...but here's the thing, you do have to dig a little. On the surface, I can't say that I find this thrift store particularly interesting, but isn't that the point and the fun of it all? I haven't decided however, if the price point is comparative with other thrift stores. I love some of the items I found, however, other items seemed to be priced inordinately high. Happy thrifting!

The girls that work in there are so friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to go there I always come home with great stuff. I have also had client's that consigned with them & they sold their furniture pieces. Great place.

    Meeting and evaluation of my fathers house and property were pretty straight forward. They said…read moreall the right things and checked all the boxes my siblings and I were looking for. Myself and my son did a LOT of organizing, cleaning, moving furniture. Communication once we hired the company was so so at best. A lot of things were "let me check and get back to you", which ended up with me having to reach out again to follow up. I walked thru my dads house and garage the day before the sale and saw how they priced everything. My dad lives very rural, in the middle of the country so we did not expect a huge turnout but there were people in line waiting with a constant flow of people both days. Day 1 is suppose to be full price as listed yet several of my friends went to the sale and were ready to pay the full price listed and only ended up paying 1/3. Seems like they were wheeling and dealing on day 1. Which we did NOT agree to. WHAT?? On day 1 you asked $20 for something listed as $60? My dads riding lawn mower was priced at $1400. It didnt sell the first day so I knew it would go for $700 on the 2nd day. When we got our itemized list of what sold we saw that the lawn mower sold for only $300!! a 12 piece oak amish dining room set sold for $100, that was a 1/8 of what it was listed at. We paid $1500 for their "fee" and a 65/35 split. Then told that we didnt have to pay thr $1500, that the fee was asked for if the home was determined that it would bring in a profit. When we received the check and itemized list the $1500 was taken out of the profits and the remainder was done at the split. We ended up after all the work and back and forth with $400. a full 3 bedroom home! The itemized list left out A LOT of pieces that were no longer in my fathers home but were not on the list as sold. I asked if anything was going to be taken for consignment at their store and was told no, so not sure where these items went. My father lived very simply so we were not expecting a huge result but really felt we were taken advantage of and it was a HUGE waste of time. I put in a lot of man hours and had I know I would have either A. let them do all the work or B. Did the work and held the sale myself! NOTE-I have been told by multiple people who frequent their sales and many others, as well as people who have hired them in the past, that they will have their regulars (*who resell) come and give them the deals on items. I cannot confirm this but hearing it from many different people gives me pause.

    As you know may or may not know, Clothes Mentor comes from the same parent company concept of Once…read moreUpon a Child, Plato's Closet, and New Uses. Customers can bring in new or gently used, brand name items (within for 2 to 3 years old) for a Clothes Mentor "Buyer" to evaluate whether they will accept the item and for the Clothes Mentor "Buyer" to provide a value they will offer you. The offer is "supposedly 30%" of what Clothes Mentor will turn around and sell the merchandise for. You have the option to accept or decline the full offer, or you may remove some items from your "buy" if you wish. In the end, the transaction is totally up to you. As an avid consigner and donator, as well as adventuresome thrift shopper, estate sale shopper, and garage sell frequenter for the past 25 years, I fully appreciate what is offered at Clothes Mentor. In most instances, Clothes Mentor has made life easier for the owner of the items so you do not have to stand outside in the hot summer heat to have a garage sale and possibly sell your items for pennies on the dollar. Clothes Mentor has also eliminated the expenses associated with trying to sell your quality items on Ebay. And, Clothes Mentor has eliminated the concern of having to deal with strangers when selling items on Craigslist. On the other hand, Clothes Mentor has made things easier for the purchaser as well. Clothes Mentor has eliminated the average thrift, estate sale, and garage sale experience of feeling like you have spent all day sifting through "junk" in order to find one or two gems. The major "Con" to the whole experience is as seller, you feel like Clothes Mentor is not truly giving you very much money for your very pricey, name-brand item(s). As the shopper, the major "Con" is you may feel like items are a little overpriced for "Resale." Overall, I have loved stopping in Clothes Mentor whenever I drive past. It is a nice Women's Resale experience, in a clean and organized store. Items are separated by category and size. They even have a behind the counter display of designer catches, such as Ugg, Juicy Couture, Coach, Kate Spade, etc. You actually never know what you may find, and as with all other Resale or Thrift Stores, you really have to look over your items well to ensure there are no defects you will be unhappy with. There are women's jeans, tanks, short sleeve, and long sleeve shirts, as well as dress slacks, casual slacks, skirts, and jeans. Additionally, you can find accessories such as scarves, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings. Finally, there are designer and handbags and shoes. There is even a small maternity section. There are typically reduced items, which have been marked with a colored sticker. You have to read the store signs or ask the sales associate for the color discounts at that time. And, every so often, there are special sale nights, as well as e-mail or text message promotions. So, it is a great idea to sign up for the notifications. Finally, there is a return policy for regular price clothing items (10 days), however you cannot return discounted items, any shoes or accessories. Sales associates are typically very friendly and helpful. Many of the associates have learned names of the regular customers and they seem to present a "family atmosphere." There is great parking available, especially now that Plato's Closet moved to another location. Word of caution: There is no public restroom!

    I have only been here I'll say about 5 times. All I can say is the customer service is the worst's…read more They don't greet you at the door. Just a look. And the brashness of the cashiers. How she told me where the line begins as if she had to scold me. I won't be back. Never again the worst

    This is the best clock and watch repair business I have found. Other so-called 5-star services…read moredon't return calls like Chicago Clock does. I smile when I read "unfriendly" in a review of CCC. They may not have the smiling style of the other places, they just have pure competent substance. They also may not be the "low price leader" in quoting a repair. But they guarantee any repair. I just brought in to them a 6 month old watch that had a hard-to-turn crown. I had taken it first to another place that told me they fixed it but that it was corroded and needed some winding to loosen it up. I discovered it was a quartz watch that needed no winding. The place unscrupulously had charged me $68 for the so-called repair. Chicago opened it up for me while I was there and found a gnarly rubber gasket that I had probably messed up myself trying to wind a battery powered watch. The technician should rightly have called me an idiot but instead just fixed it in 2 minutes, He did not want to charge me anything. I insisted on giving him at least a $20 tip which he reluctantly but appreciatively accepted. This is the kind of business I respect and will patronize again and again going forward.

    I stopped here to get a watch battery replaced. I'd never been to this store before and have always…read morewanted to stop by - this was my chance. There was someone there already getting a watch battery replaced. So, while waiting, I walked around admiring their clocks and watches. They have quite a selection - great if you need a nice clock for yourself or as a gift. I took some pictures and a short video and posted them for you to see. When it was my turn, he took the watch and went in the back. It didn't take much more than five minutes for him to return with the watch working again! And the price was very reasonable, under $20. Fun store with good service.
