Bed Bath & Beyond

So glad this store is still in the ‘hood.
I just recently moved and visited this store often. Still very friendly and helpful staff.
I would highly recommend this store.

I recently went in to purchase something for a bridal shower. The staff was very plesant but they now make you wrap your own bridal gifts, with only one small gift wrapping station. Additionally, the gift wrapping station is missing several sizes in boxes and the cards that go with the gifts. If you’re going to make your customers wrap their own gifts, at least have the station stocked with the proper materials. After waiting about 10 minutes for missing supplies, I had to leave without getting what I needed. Overall the staff is always very nice, but the store needs better management.

I love the convenient location of this Bed Bath and Beyond. It’s located right off the corner of the Broadway/​Diversey/​Clark intersection. The store itself isn’t quite as big as most Bed Bath and Beyonds that I’ve been to in the past, but they do have quite the same selection and a pretty big inventory for being a smaller store. I get all my apartment needs here. Only once was I looking for a pair of curtains that they didn’t have in stock. The manager put in an order for me to receive it online. He even gave me a coupon so I got a discount — plus free shipping! Great service, right there. The lines here tend to get pretty long on the weekends, so I’d suggest going during the week or coming early during the weekend. I promise, you’ll come out of this store with at LEAST 1 – 2 things you didn’t plan on buying. They just have so many cool things and nifty kitchen gadgets! It’s just so easy to spend 1 – 2 hours here just browsing. So get there early on a Saturday and make a day of it!

It’s Bed Bath & Beyond. Have you been to one before? This location is basically identical to the one by my parents’ house in suburban Kentucky.
If you want overpriced home goods, this is the place! Be sure to bring one of the 4 20% off coupons they’ve mailed you this week and you’ll be fine!

As far as the interior of the place goes, its a typical Bed Bath and Beyond: towels, kitchen utensils, and laundry gadgets galore. What really stands out at this location is the staff. The customer service you will receive is phenomenal. I’ve been into the store several times, and every time, I get help finding things from the associates. I don’t have to go hunt one down, either. They’re friendly, professional, and always looking to help their customers.
The reason I’m writing this review today, though, is due to the fantastic individual I talked to today while attempting to place Christmas gifts on hold. I called up the store to put an item on hold, worried that the gift I was looking to come in and buy would be already out of stock by the time I got there. This manager or associate or whoever this great Bed Bath and Beyond person was said that while they did not have the item in store, he could have it shipped directly to my house for free and take 20% off the total to make up for the in-​store coupon that I was holding.
The entire process was professional and efficient. It saved me a trip out on this busy weekend of holiday shopping. I will definitely be back at this Bed Bath and Beyond again soon and would recommend this store to any of my friends.

This location is our go-​to place to re-​stock the soda stream flavors, canisters, and Keurig flavors. The selection of those items are more superior than what kohl’s, Target, and drugstores would offer.
The cashiers were friendly with coupons. I brought in three (3) coupons for three (3) items, and she didn’t have any problem with that.
In addition, all sales associates and BBB were knowledgeable with what to do with canister exchange. I’ve gone to Kohl’s before, but the sales associates at Kohl’s seemed confused with what to do. Therefore, we like to utilize BBB because the process goes smoothly every time.
This location is basement of the building that houses Walmart Express and TJ Maxx. The CTA 36 Broadway bus and 76 Diversey busses are accessible if you rely on public transportation to get you to places.

I have been shopping at this location for quite a few years, but had a much more involved experience there this past Sunday. I went with my mother, sister, and best friend to register for my bridal shower, and it couldn’t have gone more swimmingly. My consultant was Victoria and she was out of this world fantastic. I personally am not a fan of bridal showers and am having one more for my mother than for myself, so I was not exactly excited to go register. I also have attended ten weddings in the last six months and you could say I’m a bit weddinged out, so I was pretty convinced I was in for a miserable time.
But apparently, luck was on my side. Victoria made the experience SUPER fun and I ended up having a blast. She also helped me find things I really could use that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own, but still let me go a little crazy with the gun on less than practical gift ideas that would make me very happy. I would highly recommend coming to this location if you or anyone you appreciate is looking to register for a shower. Ask for Victoria — She’s amazing. Also, BB&B, I think it is officially time to give Victoria a raise. I’d give 10 stars if I could.

Kind of pricy compared to Walmart and Target, but hey, that’s BB&B. Kind of a smaller store compared to others that I’ve been to and has an interesting set up. The aisles are really small, especially if you have a cart. The workers are pretty friendly though and help when needed. I only go here because it’s close to where I live, making it convenient, but if there were other options (like a Walmart or Target), I’d probably choose those just for pricing reasons.

This place is OK, your typical Bed Bath and Beyond. Nothing special, but they have the basics for reasonable prices. With enough searching you can usually find most of what you are looking for.
Be warned. Parking is expensive. They tell you they validate which I guess is technically true though misleading. Validation reduces your parking by one whole dollar from 10 to 9. That covers 4 hours of parking. Even if you only want to shop for 30 mins. Sigh. That’s enough of a reason in my mind not to go back.

This Bed Bath Beyond is still majorly creepy, in a basement with fluorescent lights that make you want to skedaddle fast.
But it is so very hot outside.
Correction, it is hot outside and this is making my Boyfriend intolerably whiny.
It is his own fault.
Boyfriend hates to turn on the air.
I think it was his years in the Peace Corps digging wells and building schools… something about the thermostat reading «Subtropical» makes him feel productive… However these past couple days have had even him unable to bear the temperature– Hence, the complaints.
He might argue: «Baby, it isn’t the temperature but the air circulation…»
I remind him we own a fan… it is a big, industrial fan but it is a floor fan, therefore inadequate according to Boyfriend and those pesky laws or physics (Cool air recedes, Hot air rises, blah, blah…) this fan is not favored or used by Boyfriend.
It is relegated to the basement next to other abandoned appliances (Wha– a juicer? When did we have a juicer?) and boxes of neglected Christmas decorations given to us by well-​meaning family members, last opened or used circa 2004.
I digress, apologies.
My mission, is to find a fan. I go to Bed Bath and Beyond where on entry they have a tall, upright standing fan with a remote, I repeat in caps for appropriate emphasis: a REMOTE!
There are few things that bring men as much satisfaction as a remote control. Stereotypes aside, most of those satisfying things cannot be printed here (I’d get flagged, really).
I bring home my conquest and Boyfriend is unimpressed.
I tell him I got it on sale, and added the ubiquitous mailer 20% off coupon to the deal, he remains unimpressed.
I assemble this myself (this took more time than would be funny to confess) He is still unimpressed.
Until I put a remote in his hand– NOW he is amused… and unwilling to relinquish the remote.
Seriously, I found him asleep, in bed, with the fan on oscillating high and the remote still clutched in his hand.
Aww.
I think this means he likes it.

BBB… Who isn’t a fan. Having coupons that never expire, is great. I use a coupon for every item purchased. Fantastic. Can save lots. I can see why ppl never pay full price for items.

I went here today to to some last minute Christmas shopping, this is an excellent location. Cramped but they make the most of the space available.
Clean and organized, staff is friendly and knowledgable.
Things I would note:
Because it is a small store do not expect interesting colors of any product. I went in to get a kitchen aid mixer for my girlfriend and they only had black, red, white, or silver, oh yes and mary kay pink which I don’t think anyone wants not even Mary Kay. (It was hideous)
For last minute shoppers like me who need color selection, this is probably not your place. Other than that great BB&B

the curtain section here is a mess. It’s a huge display, but with very little in stock. I wasn’t able to order in the store either because the sales person wasn’t able to find the item online. This is my experience over a 2-​month period. If they’re not going to maintain the curtain section, why have it?

I went here yesterday to select a gift for a shower in another state and as I won’t be attending I needed to do the whole gift register/​shipping thing.
«Mary» in the kitchen/​registry department was just wonderful. She helped me all through the online ordering process (which I should have done at home) and shipping it to MInnesota.
She added in my discount card amount and told me about the «free shipping» for wedding related gifts. All done — something I can tick off my «to do» list.
I love this store!

Small store but they still have lots of merchandise. Helpful staff and well organized.
I’ll be back and I’ll see you there!

1. Iman sees something nifty on internet.
2. Iman checks BBB to see if they have it and they indeed do.
3. Iman says «omg yeeees!!» in her brain, while fighting the urge to twirl in her chair at work.
4. Iman doesn’t really talk in third person, but I’ve started the pattern, so let’s keep going.
5. Iman excitedly walks to BBB from work, anticipating bringing the contraption of her dreams home.
6. Iman gets to BBB… she’s looking… she’s looking… she finally asks an employee for help.
7. Employee says «oh yea, that! People are always looking for that, no… no, it’s not here. You gotta get that through the website.
8. Iman is sad, dejected, and thoroughly dismayed! Iman hangs her head and starts to leave.
9. Iman comes across random contraption and thinks «hell, I made the trip, might as well buy SOMETHING.»
That pretty much sums up my experience every single time I go to BBB. So three stars because I always leave with something, but by golly, it’s never what I went there for!

Like others, I come here when i get those 20% off coupons. BBB is not cheap, but it has lots of basic items for the home, which is nice, and some decent-​looking art, which is okay, if that is your thing. You’ll be able to find what you need but it won’t be as cheap as Target or HomeGoods, but generally speaking they have a decent selection of (typically) quality merchandise.
The thing I really like about this place is that it’s located in a building alongside TJ Maxx and World Market, so if you have time you can go and comparison shop for certain items. So if you find a box of hangers at TJ Maxx for much cheaper than here, you can go return the BBB ones right away, yay!
Staff is friendly, and it’s across the street from the Broadway bus stop. Okay, it’s in a basement, but besides the lack of cellphone service, it’s not that noticeable.

Nice store located in a convenient shopping area. Had everything I needed. Store is well stocked and employees were really helpful –took time to help me search for a few things on the computer.

As mentioned by the others, this place is on the expensive side. Since the closing of Linen n Things on Clark, this really is the only option for those of us that utilize public transportation.
The good things are that I have always been able to find what I need… and a ton of things I don’t. Also the staff has always been very friendly and helpful.
We don’t go out of are way to shop here but the weekly coupons are nice and they will accept them even if expired.

I felt like a newly married Will Ferrell in Old School the other day… until my Sunday got a jolt of excitement from a stupendously serendipitous discovery – animal crackers at Bed, Bath, and Beyond! I spent much of 2009 looking fruitlessly all over Chicagoland for real animal crackers (which I idiosyncratically call «animal cookies»).
Lo and behold, right near the front by the cashier – Stauffer’s brand, the original. Jackpot! $ 4.49 for a 24-​ounce bear-​shaped jug. If they had had the big-​ass bags that we used to get at Sam’s Club back in college, I could have died on the spot.
So, four stars for the animal cookies alone. Don’t ask me about the rest of the store, because I’m a dude.
