Well, I was told that Madelyn’s Home Furnishings Store cannot be reviewed. I was told that in a warning by Google. Very strange. Anyway, about 4 years ago, I needed a floor lamp and this place is very close and so, I was driving by and decided to go in. I walked right up to this “old” lamp. I liked it’s look, gave them $25 and spent the past 4 years with it in my bedroom. Then, all of the sudden, it was dead. So, I called their store after trying to replace the socket. No good. They said to bring it in. The next day, I did. They were very nice and helpful. Michael, the owner, told me to just leave it and come back the next day after 3PM. OK. Well, I bought a beautiful “sand dollar” lamp while I was there. In the meantime, Michael decided to work on my antique lamp! That made me very happy. He got the socket secured and turned it on and it almost blew out all of his electricity in the shop. He told me that the entire lamp needed to be re-wired. I asked him if he wanted it, that I had no interest in lugging it around town trying to find a repair shop. He took it and in exchange, “gave” me a new floor lamp that I had been admiring. It was loose “acting” in the store and I was really questioning it as his saleswoman helped me get it in my Jeep. I got it home. I set it up in my bedroom where the antique lamp was. He had an “oven or refrigerator” light bulb in it. The plastic ring that secures the “artificial” alabaster glass lampshade, was cracked and barely holding such a heavy shade. It was risky. The socket is made out of aluminum. I was able to put a much nicer light bulb in to the socket securely. I removed the brown, securing ring, as it was no longer trusted by me to hold the glass shade. I had a nice, short lamp sitting on my desk that needed a pretty “pretend” alabaster lamp shade. It fit PERFECTLY!! I put in a prettier bulb and it made me very happy. Now, back to the new lamp. So, I have a new lamp with a pretty light bulb hanging out of it. There is no shade. That is fine. Thanks to Michael being a very kind soul to me? I now have a free, functioning floor lamp and a much prettier, and better functioning desk lamp!! But, I do miss my very pretty antique lamp! It was super heavy. BTW? Madelyn’s Home Furnishings Store at 4090 S. Ridgewood Avenue, has some really beautiful pieces and stunning accessories and art work for your walls! The staff is very nice and accommodating. Michael was also. I plan on returning to see more of their inventory. It is worth the...
Read moreBeware! If you believe in science, are intelligent and a rational thinker especially if you are at high risk for COVID-19. The owner called me early yesterday morning to say his employees that would pick up my sofa had not shown up for work but later called back to say they had (should have been my first clue). They arrived (a couple) without masks. I gave them two which they put on but the male announced to me, as he postured, he never uses a mask. When he let it slip off his nose I told him to either put it on his nose or get out of my house. Of course the female also let it slip off her nose. I needed the sofa taken so fortunately it only took a few minutes to accomplish the task. I am high risk and my healthy son had COVID, but is a long hauler, who is in his fourth month of recovery and can do very little every day. As an RN with degrees in psychology and public administration I understand this couple has been traumatized sometime in their youth and indoctrinated with beliefs they never questioned so I do have empathy for them but I write this because of my concern for high risk folks out there. Oh and just to make themselves feel even more powerful they threw the masks on my front lawn. I am so impressed - LOL. I urge you to think twice before you set up a delivery or pickup from this store. Stay...
Read moreSo we just moved down to the sunshine state from Canada and need to furnish our whole house, we discovered this place on the internet. On our visit we met Mike who not only was helpful, but laid back and we felt no pressure to purchase anything. His quality of furniture is very good and he receives new items monthly. He had the furniture delivered by Jay (for a reasonable price) who was very friendly. We appreciate it because we live over one hour away. We will be shipping again in a couple months when some new stick arrives.
I just want to comment on the man who gave this store a ONE STAR. I checked this mans profile and he gives only 1 or 2 stars to every company he reviews and it’s all about the company being closed on either Sunday’s or at 9 pm. Not one review is credible nor based on service or quality but whether a store is open on a Sunday...
