It is still a mystery to me how, despite living in Chicago for all of my life and driving along Cottage Grove more times than I could ever count, I managed to remain ignorant of this store's existence until about a month ago. Seriously, this place should be ridiculously difficult to miss! The sign advertising the storefront is gigantic even without the working lights that once adorned its borders, yet I was shocked by its presence when I visited the location for the first time.
Still, I am very grateful that I did find this hidden gem on the Southside.
I recently moved into a new apartment, and I needed to furnish it quickly and without a lot of the fuss that can come alongside working with the bigger names out there. A Google search brought me to New Age, and I took a chance one Saturday and drove on over to the listed address. The show room sports a limited number of pieces and styles, but everything is laid out in a tasteful manner that is easy to navigate. The bulk of their stock is available by catalogue, and to that end there are two stations at which a huge selection of product books can be found.
I had the pleasure of working with a Sales Associate named Rosemary. She was very accommodating with a wonderful sense of humor. Together, she and I found the perfect sofa and loveseat for my living room. Like every other furniture retailer, New Age has been hit by COVID-related delays in their shipments. I visited the store in early November, and Rosemary warned me that I wouldn't get my furntire until early December.
Surprisingly, that shipment arrived today (ahead of schedule), and I could not be happier with the...
   Read moreI am not one to often post a review, but I felt the need to do so. My wife and I were helping our college son move into an apartment. The furniture we ordered from a Scandinavian, assemble-it-yourself, store that I won't name was subpar, to say the least. We had 48 hours to find replacements before we headed home.
My wife found New Age on a Google search and spoke with the owner, Andy, and he was calm, didn't try to gauge us, and told us he could get us everything we needed DELIVERED by the next day. We made a beeline for the store, spent 45 minutes there piecing together what he had in stock, and set up a delivery for the early following afternoon. Completely on time, the furniture arrived with extraordinarily professional people who brought it all in and assembled what needed to be assembled.
I should also mention that we changed the order from one piece to another (due to size constraints) the following morning (before delivery), and Andy quickly refunded the difference in cost back to us; no fuss, no questions. When another piece arrived with a manufacturer's defect, he offered yet another small refund (as well as offering to replace it)!
His communication and demeanor were exceptional. His products were varied and ranged the gamut in prices. He is a stone's throw from Hyde Park. A spectacular experience! I wouldn't hesitate to...
   Read moreI lived in Chicago and I support local owned business. So I decided to inquire about an ottoman I saw on their website. A person called me and setup my order and I paid over the phone, Delivery was on time and the ottoman is exactly what I was looking for to add to my apartment. I decided to stop by one day on my way from work to check the place out and to my shock This place is been around since the early 1900s the boutique furniture show room was full and had so many nice things from modern furniture to exclusive furniture. Also they have a very unique and top quality line of mattresses that fitted my budget. I ended up ordering one of their Euro top Amra exclusive brand which is backed by a 10 years warranty and costed me a fraction of the price of what mattress firm said they would charge me. This review is 6 month over due but I wanted to test out the mattress first and Immmmmm telling I can’t believe how my nights are filled with deep sleep because of the this mattress. I wish I knew about this place when I moved to Chicago 4 years back. I’ll be back soon. Thank you for your honesty and integrity Andy. Also their delivery crew are amazing Can’t believe how strong and careful and efficient these guys are shout out to them to their incredible work since my place is on the 4th floor and tight doorways. I will...
