After seeing mixed reviews on another site I was skeptical. However, Unilocal had way more reviews and positive ones, so we took a chance. We got a fantastic sofa sleeper for a great price. They even delivered earlier than quoted which was great for us having no sofa. This was our first furniture purchase after just moving to Chicago. Check it out!

I was in the market for a couch and I needed one pretty quickly with guests coming to town. I originally walked into Affordable Furniture looking for a specific couch. They didn’t have it in stock and I wouldn’t have it on time for my guests. They graciously showed me similar options and I just wasn’t sure yet. Robert was SO great to work with. I found a similar option but wasn’t sure about it, he ended up ordering both couches in case my original pick would come on time. Long story short, I went with the other option and I love it! Everything was delivered as promised. So happy with Affordable Furniture’s business and would definitely recommend it.

I wish I could give this place NO STARS!
Walk in with my boyfriend to buy a new couch. We start asking about prices and all we received was attitude. The people on the floor kept telling us the price didn’t matter because we were going to leave anyway. Was this reverse psychology?
We finally get a price and they say 675. That price stood for EVERY SINGLE COUCH IN THE STORE. Are you kidding me? Every couch I asked about… 675! We finally find one and they say 650, with delivery on Wednesday (it was Sunday when we walked in).
We decided that was a good deal, we sign and get ready to leave when the owner, Robert, lets us know that the couch won’t be there until Friday. We figure, ok a few more days without a couch, we will survive. With the promise it would be there for the weekend, which was mother’s day, we were still fine.
I receive a call on Wednesday, they let us know our couch might not be in by Friday but they will let me know. I didn’t hear from them on Thursday so I called them and the owner said the couch would not be available by the weekend. So here’s the deal, we had family visiting for mother’s day and no couch. I explain my frustrations to Robert, who eventually says he will give me a loaner couch. I approve the style and he says it will be delivered on Friday.
I ask about a discount and Robert goes nuts. Tells me he has to eat the cost of the loaner couch because it is brand new and he can’t sell it. Tries to tell me I am ruining his business by asking for a discount. I say I will let this go for now but we will revisit this conversation.
I take off work Friday so I can be there when the couch is delivered. The «brand new couch» that Robert was «eating the cost» on, had MULTIPLE holes and stains all over it. I call Robert to let him know and ask about when my couch will be in.
Long story short, we got our couch A MONTH LATER!!! When I asked about a discount because not only did I have to take off multiple days of work, we were promised a couch in 3 — 5 days NOT 30, and the loaner couch was disgusting, the owner, Robert, yelled at me, said he wasn’t comfortable with our conversation because I was «black mailing» him.
Literally there are at least 6 other furniture places on this street. Go to one of them, and NOT this place. I promise it will save you a head ache and your faith in humanity.

Great furniture at a great value! I would do business here again. Very honest and fair!

I don’t believe old reviews. They bargain the price of furniture so we dont know the exact price and the owner was rude

This was my first furniture purchase ever and I am so glad I came to this place. Not only does he know how to handle his customers with respect, Robert looks out for you. He had a sign on his door to be careful about parking at the Jewel grocery store (because they tow). Anyways, the prices are very reasonable and negotiable and the free delivery service is simply amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great and smooth furniture purchase.
Thanks for supporting military people Robert.

After moving into a new apartment and leaving everything behind at my old residence, I was in desperate need of quality, affordable furniture! This place was a godsend!
There is an interesting cast of characters here. Go in with a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm and you’ll fit right in. I can honestly say that I’ve never had more fun buying home goods in my life. Don’t be intimidated by the seemingly chaotic atmosphere; this is the Ed Debevic’s of furniture stores.
Robert and his team of salespeople will definitely work with you on a price and work hard to find what you are looking for. They can order brand name items at a fraction of the «retail» cost. They can order pretty much all of the items you see at Ashley. As awful as it might be, I went to Ashley to «shop,» discreetly wrote down what I was interested in, and then went to Affordable Furniture to place my order. Since A. F is small, they have a small array of items to physically see. It’s best to look elsewhere and then order at A.F.
Delivery was great. The guys were funny and fast! One day there was a mix up with times and I was running late from work; they waited for me for over an hour (after calling me from the truck to check in) and greeted me with a smile when I let them in.
A.F. will also flexibly finance your purchase if you qualify.
Cannot say enough about this place. I’ve never spent hundreds of dollars at a store before and left with a smile and laughter.

We purchased a lot of very nice furniture at a very low price. We also had a lot of problems with the delivery, but Robert worked with us and on the third try everything went perfectly. He took the time to make sure we were satisfied.
Unless you have a plenty of money and can afford to shop at the really expensive places, Affordable Furniture is the first place you should stop when you’re in the market for new furniture.

Great service and great prices. They delivered the next day, free of charge.

Great shop to find couches, loveseats, any type of furniture. Leonard helped me and was great. My furniture was delivered same day. Affordable Furniture was truly affordable, friendly and on time nice delivery. Thank you.

I just had the greatest experience buying a couch and a chair. Robert was wonderful to work with. He’s patience, friendly, accommodating and gave me a great price. The delivery guys got the furniture unloaded, up to the 11^th floor, unpacked and assembled in 20 minutes. I really could not be happier and will definitely go back the next time I need something.

Never ever will I shop with these Guys again. First off, I was sent the wrong order, Secondly The guys who delivered my furniture was a bunch of drug addicts, who harassed my neighbors trying to buy Cigaretts from everyone walking by Neva recieve what I pick out in store… So stay away

Really great experience here. We found a gorgeous 5-​piece dining set, something we’ll keep for years if not decades, at a fairly steep discount because of a couple of imperfections – but I’d rather have a very high-​quality item with a few surface chips and scratches than pay the same amount for something pretty but not very solid, so it was perfect.
We asked to order two more chairs for a full 7-​piece set, and they gave us an extremely good price. We needed the set for Thanksgiving (it was the weekend before). They only had the four chairs in stock, so since there wasn’t quite enough time to get the extras, they brought us two similar-​looking (smaller) chairs that they had on site, so that we’d have enough for our guests. Then as soon as the ones we ordered came in, they brought them (again no delivery charge!) and took away the substitutes.
In short: beautiful wares, good prices, extremely helpful and courteous sales and delivery staff. Way to go!

Robert is the best. Everyone go here to get furniture. Love everything so far and going back for more.

If I could give this place a –30 star I would. This is the absolute worst place to shop for anything. The owner did nothing but sell me a couch and then later screw up the order there times and then tell me he can’t get me the couch anymore. I had the wrong couch delivered, I was promised delivery dates that he couldn’t commit to. Then he waits a week to tell me he can no longer get me my couch. And this is the owner of the company. He also employ’s uneducated people and has homeless people hang out in his overstuffed dingy warehouse.

Kudos again to Robert and the Affordable Furniture team. I had a chair that didn’t work out. It was gladly accepted for a return. They even sent a team to my home to pick it up FOR FREE so I wouldn’t have to haul the darn thing back on my own!
I was able to find something great for the exchange and even more awesome stuff with the patient and friendly staff. Again with the free set up and delivery AND my furniture came in early so they were able to accommodate an earlier delivery.
Solid quality furniture, great prices and top notch customer service! Who could ask for more?
One caveat: I tend to be an optimist and believe people respond to positivity, so go in with a smile, be a good customer and Robert and his very busy team will take care of you!

Very helpful staff and great prices! The place is a little cluttered but thats expected from a warehouse like this! They have great deals regularly and offer free shipping. They also offer an interest free payment plan. The delivery guys showed up early and were very nice. They struggled to get the couch into my apartment and scratched up my walls. They ended up taking off the legs of the couch and were able to get through. A little bummed about the damage, but it was a struggle to get it in, so ill live with it. Im sure if i would’ve called the office, they’d compensate for the damages, but i felt bad for the guys struggling so much with moving the couch. I’d recommend to anyone!

This was a great experience. Al helped me find all of the furniture I needed for my new apartment. He wasn’t pushy, but helpful. I told him what my budget was for different pieces of furniture and he found something within my price range. Also they have free delivery and set up which was a great relief. I would go back here whenever I need a new piece of furniture.
Update — 9÷19÷2013 — Unfortunately, the bed I ordered was out of stock. So Robert helped me find a new one and covered the price discrepancy for me. Awesome service! I’m so thankful.

I’ve decide not to count on Unilocal reviews anymore. The owner Robert was too rude to be the onwer of a 5 star store and pushy in the way he sells his furniture. If you buy furniture there on a first visit without a negotiation, he might be an ok salesperson but if you say you need to think and come back later he will start talking like a person who does not respect others.

My story: on my first visit he said «if you like it, then take it without thinking. And if you want to think about the sofa at home, don’t come back. What’s the point of thinking?»
I thought he was joking, the way he talked to me was rude though. The price they quoted was good and Elvirna who I suppose is Robert’s wife was very nice; these were the reason for my second visit and also I need to sell my old sofa at home first before ourchasing new one.
On my second visit after selling my old sofa: the sofa I liked was out of stock and Robert could not tell me the estimated delivery date. He wanted me to pay him full amount as a deposit for the sofa that he was not sure as to its delivery time frame. I said I would think about this and call him later, as a nicer way to get out of the store. He said «why would you call me later. Don’t call me. Just buy something else here.»
Isn’t this funny? There are many stores that sell the same sofa (it was very popular model from Ashley furniture). I guess he thought that his store was the only one I should consider buying from, or he was disrespecting me.
At Furniture Outlet Inc. (2337 N. Elston ave. Seach on Unilocal and read the reviews) the owner Andy is a lot nicer than Robert and you need not negotiate about the prices because Andy’s tag price is already low. In my experience Andy’s negotiation-​free-​tag price was Robert’s best price, after an unpleasant negotiation, for the same sofa.
Don’t go to Affordable Furniture and let Robert fool you.
