A business's real-world behavior tells you everything you need to know about how they operate. If…read moreTuft A Rug treats their actual customers with the same total lack of respect they show to the local community's personal property, save your money and look elsewhere. While I was having lunch nearby at Lazy Dog with my family, a representative from this shop decided to use the entire parking lot as their personal dumping ground, going row by row shoving unsolicited advertising flyers under the windshield wipers of every single vehicle including mine. Let's be entirely clear: nobody wants your marketing garbage forced onto their car. It is incredibly invasive and disrespectful to touch someone else's vehicle without permission. Beyond that, it creates an immediate, ugly litter problem for the neighborhood when these papers inevitably blow away or get tossed onto the pavement by annoyed drivers. If a company has to resort to desperate, intrusive, guerrilla-style littering tactics just to get eyeballs on their brand, it speaks volumes about the sub-par quality of their operation. I will absolutely never support Tuft A Rug, and I strongly urge everyone else to take their business to other local shops that actually respect private property and the community.

Tuft A Rug is one of the coolest and most creative thing to do- ever! I've been an artsy gal my…read morewhole life and have done all the artsy activities that you can do with your friends but rug tufting definitely takes the cake. Tuft-A-Rug is located in Fox Valley Mall, which is perfect as most other rug making locations are in the city. Walking by, you can immediately see people already at work (a genius way to grab people's attention!). You start by choosing what size rug you would like to make, as price and time requirements differ with both. I recommend booking in advance. If you come as a group, the fee also becomes discounted. I chose the 21x18 size and went with a friend which came to about $60 per person. It starts out with a demonstration so you get to practice a bit! I was super nervous but once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun. You can make any design you want. You'll trace out the image by either free handing it, or you can use your phone to project a picture and trace it that way. A tip is that if you know what you want to do and have an image, you can actually email it to them and they can trace it ahead of time so it's ready- which is super convenient. There's a plethora of color yarn you can choose from. I know I keep saying it, but seriously, this activity was so much fun. Once it comes together it really gives you so much satisfaction. It did take quite a bit of time, and the bigger and more complex your design, the longer it will take. I, of course, like to make my life complicated for some reason so it took a bit of time, maybe about 3 hours. But it came out SO cute! I made a hedgehog laying in a bed of daisies!! Please do note, that you will not go home with your rug the day of. They do have to finish it which may take about a month (it can be shipped if need be). There are some options of finishing touches that you can select. And if you do have some small patchiness that might need a touch up, they're happy to help! Service was awesome, the owner Keaton was the bomb. So patient, funny, and super helpful! Even with a bigger group he managed to help everyone when they needed it. The location is ideal, there's definitely enough space and seating, cool walls to take photos with your rugs. The playlist was bomb. The price is completely fair and actually very affordable for the service, time, and product. I really have nothing but more raving to do about this place and wish it all the best. I've already recruited a friend group to come back and do it with me! Keaton is passionate about his work and it is very clear in the way it is set up! So as always, please support local businesses and especially this one which is unique and so much fun! You won't regret it!

This is a long overdue review of a solid walnut standing desk that Brokenpress Design built for me…read more Simply put, a year later I'm still in love with my desk - it will be a piece that I keep forever. The design process was simple - I gave Alex a few ideas of what I was looking for, he sent me a sketchup of the desk along with a quote (which was quite reasonable), and several weeks later he delivered the desk. The desk is beautiful, and very well built. On delivery, Alex explained a few of the details in the build and finishing process that help to ensure it will look great for years. In the interim, he sent me pictures of the work in progress to help with the anticipation! I plan to work with them again in the future for another piece for my office. This is real furniture, built by hand, that will last a lifetime - the kind our parents and grandparents had (only better)!

Then a friend's sister told me about Marry-Me Designs and I looked it up. I filled out the Ideas Galore tab on the website and tried to explain what I was looking for.

She was extremely responsive and very accommodating. She worked with me to get the concept just right. At one point I was questioning something and Tammy said to me "Trust me, when you see it together you will love it." Well I'm so glad I did, because my invitations came out AMAZING! I have been getting so many comments from everyone as to how beautiful our invitations are. I absolutely love how they turned out; they were just what I had pictured my invitations to be! Plus her prices were much lower than I had seen looking through those books. I ended up spending less and getting more. I also had Tammy create my menus and programs that came out just as beautiful. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone.

We just bought our second rug this year from Caspian Rug after a major apartment renovation…read more Exactly what we wanted and for a very fair price. Working with Lazar and Kamal is a wonderful experience. No pressure but they worked to find us what we wanted. If you are looking for an Oriental rug Caspian Rugs has a great selection. They all carry more modern rugs, but that isn't our interest so I can't comment on that. However, before trying anywhere else, give Caspian Rugs a visit. The quality, service, selection and pricing can't be beat.

Was in the market for Persian rugs to replace three I currently have…read more Went in looking for rugs of three different sizes to replace current ones that are a bit worn. I was assisted by two men, who insisted that central Asian rugs were the most popular (perhaps so, if one isn't willing to spend $$$ on a Persian rug). However, I asked only to see their finest rugs (Persian Isfahan, Tabriz, or Qum origins), as all the rugs in my home are traditional/fine Persian rugs. After getting the run-around for 25min, the men finally conceded that they have mostly central Asian and Eastern rugs, which I did not wish for. If you're interested in Far Eastern rugs, this store has plenty. There were only two Persian rugs that they had to show: a 12' x 10' and a 14' runner, both too small and humdrum. Went to Isberian immediately after, and found a trove of fine and traditional Persian rugs for my home. While I didn't find what I was looking for at Caspian, they do have a vast variety of rugs at reasonable prices.
