    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!

They value men's clothing so little -- no matter the brands, even the brand that they prefer you to bring in. It is frankly insulting and nothing changes despite new management over the years... Most recently, I brought in a men's banana republic, which was $70 with the price tax to loan... They came back to me and offer me seven dollars for it -- just a synopsis of what happens to here and what to expect. If anything go to clothes mentor maybe? Today will be my last day that I'm going in and I'll report back to you if anything has changed or if this is the same place, it has been for better part of a decade. A poor business with no ethics.

I walked around went upstairs. And still nothing. When I walked by the desk not a hello or even acknowledgement. I did see some stuff I wanted to buy, but I did pass. I can look for these things at other places. I am not a fan of giving my money to people that don't want it. So try marketplace or eBay.

I have frequented this place numerous times and have had the blessing of seeing it grow, rearrange and expand. Once I was in there and a worker there was so kind and helpful and even gave me a deal on the two chairs that I purchased. The most recent visit was just the opposite. No one to help or greet. I asked a question and was treated not only like I was stupid but said, "Here's the stairs right here", like I'm some sort of imbecile. I proceeded to want to check out and two workers were too busy complaining and I stood there and waited until they were done. Then when I gave my card she starts to tell me that my card wasn't accepted but then realized she put it in upside down. No apology just again an attitude. I spent over $50 and I didn't know that as a customer I'm such a burden. Take my advice hire friendly people who work only the floor to help customers if you're too busy to help and answer questions. I will still go but there are other shops in the area that I may consider visiting before I'll go back again.

Its very hit and miss with the employees you encounter there, but again majority of the time its disappointing. The store itself is pretty unorganized and they rarely purchase anything I bring in anymore, which includes brand new items with tags or gently worn items that match the target demographic/season. The two ladies I encountered today were a bit rude and unwelcoming and honestly it makes me not want to return to this location after both shopping and selling there for years. Id rather make the drive elsewhere to get better customer service. Surprisingly, the teens at Plato's are more professional. I often dont make complaints about poor experiences like this but considering its been ongoing for a while and there are multiple negative reviews, I think management should reevaluate this store. Edit: I was offered $3 for a pair of Levi jeans, one item out of about 20 I brought in. I declined that offer and was told "thats fine, theyre a little too worn on the inside anyway." I dont think comments like that are necessary after rightfully declining an offer on an item you were just interested in. Just a very uncomfortable experience.
