Nadeau Furniture with a Soul

Nice pieces made of 100% wood from India and Indonesia. Staff was very warm and useful. The prices for the quality pieces were unmatchable.
Because all furniture is comprised of wood, you won’t find any outdoor furniture here.

This is the second time I’ve shopped at Nadeau and in the beginning, both were good experiences. Friendly and helpful staff, great prices and cool pieces. I went into Nadeau last weekend to get a few pieces for our new home and walked out a very happy customer with 4 new pieces and about $ 800 lighter. The pieces were delivered the next day for an additional $ 75. End of transaction right? Wrong.
I received a voicemail from the saleswoman that had helped me 2 days later with a question on my order. I called her back, and she said that the issue was figured out but what had happened was that they had undercharged me about $ 80 for one of the items that I bought. She said they had figured out the mistake, and that was the end of it. Until, 20 minutes later her manager calls and leaves me an absolutely incredible voicemail saying I should pay the difference, essentially saying that I’m a bad person if I don’t call back with my credit card info, and that they technically can’t do anything because I have the furniture already (but they would if they could). SERIOUSLY?! They insinuated they would try to send me to collections if that was an option, for a mistake that their employee made. Is this really happening?! Never ever in my life have I been yelled at and guilted by somewhere I shopped for a mistake that was their fault, and even so, don’t they know anything about customer service? I just spent over $ 800 in your store!
I’ve worked retail and in the restaurant business and I would NEVER blame a customer for a mistake I made as an employee or manager. It’s not even about the money, which was 10% of the full transaction price, but about the way they handled the entire situation and tried to turn their mistake around on the buyer (and not to mention making the buyer feel like it was their fault when they did nothing wrong!).
They’ve lost my business forever, which is a real shame.

Wow prices went up!!! That’s a shame the store expanded but the prices have as well. I guess I’m going to have to look elsewhere.

Very, very, good selection. All pieces seem unique, and you can’t find better prices. The staff was also super helpful and friendly! Even the delivery men, that delivered my desk and buffet up to my fourth floor walk-​up, were very nice. Just know that the delivery company is a third party, and you must have cash to pay them.

Love this place. Beautiful furniture at great prices. Always new stuff coming in, so if you don’t see something you like, come back in a few weeks!

Absolutely love this store! Can not wait to come back and buy a few items. Many items are reasonably priced and very unique finds.

This is probably the coolest furniture store in Chicago. Really great solid wood pieces, everything is authentic and unique. You can spend hours in here checking out their selection I dig it there and will be back.

I was in their store this week looking at a table. Keith was showing me the table and led me into the middle of the store to show me the legs of the table that were wrapped up and seperate from the top. As he was showing me the legs and selling me on the uniqueness and style of the table another salesperson sold the table out from under me. I dont understand how they could allow this. They did not apologize for the mishap or act like they cared.
I understand first come first serve and I dont think this was that. How can you have 2 salespeople selling the same item at the same time. I was looking at it first, I unwrapped the damn thing and was being helped. They had no policy whatsoever on this situation.
I left right away very frustrated with their sales practices and very upset about how they handled it. I felt super disrespected.
I like their furniture but not how I was treated. I will probably not go back there again.
Im a small business ower and understand how to treat people with respect and fairness, I hope for and expect the same from other businesses.

Just discovered this gem with a friend who’s shooed here for years! So many great pieces, no two are a like. I bought two side tables at such a great deal. The best part is the quality of all pieces are amazing. Solid wood or metal pieces tangy will last! This is the kind of place you definitely walk into knowing you need a piece of furniture but just don’t know what until you see it. I will defiantly be back!

If you see something you like buy it! I had a photo of a print I saw in the spring that I didn’t buy then and regretted it. The staff was extremely helpful and found one in stock! Very happy customer!

Anna and Keith have been great to us. When we moved to Chicago, we were familiar with locations in Nashville and Marietta, so checked them out. Given we did not move any belongings from our house in Nashville, we had to purchase everything new for our place in Chicago. Little by little, Nadeau has been migrating to our side of town. Great, funky pieces! The only «drawback» is that stock moves quickly so if you see it and like it, buy it up! It may not be there when you circle back around.
As a side note, their delivery guys are also great. Reasonably priced, fast and Ed is always quick to respond and polite. Not your typical third party… which is a good thing! Keep up the good work!

The selection taste and styles are nice, and always fun to browse through here. We’ve bought a couple pieces, including a large buffet console. Unfortunately, like others have reported, our wood buffet started to crack about a month after we purchased it. We’ve had it for about 6 months now, and a second crack is starting. It is too bad the quality isn’t living up to the value we thought we paid for.

Nadeau Furniture is awesome. Great, unique, beautiful, eclectic pieces. Absolutely fantastic prices too. Always a pleasure to peruse the wonderful imported gems from all over the world. Very rustic, raw, solid pieces — that are bound to go with almost anything in your house. The staff doesn’t hover over you and/​or push you into buying anything; it’s almost like they already know you’re going to stumble unto something you know you can’t live without! LOL I don’t see why folks would go anywhere else for quality home pieces at great prices. Tip: Bring your own U-​Haul truck!

I love the furniture here… it’s definitely unique and reasonably priced. I have purchased about 10 pieces from here over the years. However, the wood split on the last piece I bought, which, from reading the reviews, happens a lot. They offered an exchange — and I was lucky that the piece fit in my car. I would have been pretty upset if I had paid someone to deliver as I would have had no way of getting it back to the store without paying another delivery fee — and then, of course, would have had to pay yet ANOTHER delivery fee for a new piece. So, I kinda stopped buying larger pieces from there when that happened.
One other note — there is a bit of subtle pressure when you are shopping there, at least by the manager,. He will tell you that if you like something, to buy it right away because items go fast and that they will never have that piece again. I think that’s true for some of their inventory, it does sell fast and they don’t have a warehouse filled with multiples of the same item. However, nearly every piece I have purchased has shown up again at the store — sometimes one month later, sometimes six months later. So they are not all one-​of-​a-​kind, never-​to-​be-​seen-​again. If for some reason you can’t swing a certain piece in the moment, or can’t decide, I’d say there is a chance you will see it again on the show floor.

I love this place. Unique prices at affordable prices. I love the color & the variety! I can’t leave this place empty handed!

I live down the street from Nadeau and love to wander through all their new shipments. Really cute, leans towards shabby chic, wood furniture. Prices are higher than Target, but lower than West Elm. And the pieces are so much more unique and interesting than either place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful and they’ll carry your purchase out to the car for you.
Don’t expect an organized showroom. This is essentially a warehouse stuffed to the gills with furniture and you sort of wander around in search of a great find. But it’s fun!
I purchased a small cabinet and a mirror from them recently and I love both items. Most of my furniture in recent years is IKEA so bringing in these new pieces really livens up my space and gives it character.
There are a couple of Nadeau-​designated parking spots just past their entrance on the right. I can usually get one without any issue.

By far the best, inexpensive, unique, friendliest, and reliable furniture store in Illinois. I came here based on Unilocal reviews. I was on a search with fiancée and sister in law for a bar or whine holder. This warehouse had so many things I was in heaven. Even though we couldn’t find a bar, we found this gorgeous end table for the kitchen to compliment the wall décor. You will fall in love with all the items but the trick is to buy now and not wait. Things come fast and if you get on their email list the ordered items will be accessible. Highly recommended for anyone looking to spice up their apartment. Of course 2 thumbs up for Keith and Angela As they were super helfpul!

I need to stop hyperventilating in order to write this review!
Breathe in, breathe out.
Okay.
Whew.
So here’s the skinny on Nadeau: It’s a furniture warehouse. All of their stuff is packed, rather haphazardly, into a big warehouse and you shop based on what you see on the floor. There’s no showroom and no ordering of the furniture. You see it, you buy THAT piece, they put a sold sticker on it and you either take it home or set up delivery with their service.
And what’s in stock? Well, it’s a crap-​shoot, but that’s what makes it fun. Sign up for the mailing list to be advised of new shipments so you can get a jump on everyone else. But expect lots of cool wood furniture. I scored a reclaimed wood coffee table, end table and TV stand and got a steal on a new work desk (I’ll be working from home and need something better than my shitty 10-​year-​old IKEA desk) for a steal. This isn’t really a couch/​bed place. It’s wood up in here.
Delivery was really easy, too. I called their delivery service and set up a date that worked for me. The delivery guys were on time and professional.
So the secret is TOTALLY out. Nadeau is tops!!!

We made our way over to Nadeau when we were looking for some tables for our place & wanted to support our local shops. The service was very friendly and helpful, yet not overbearing like you expect at most furniture stores where the salespeople tactics resemble those of a car salesman.
Perhaps because this is not your typical furniture store. There are no pretty, styled displays everywhere. It is basically two rooms with furniture scattered throughout, so it is a bit of a hunt to find things.
The furniture is imported and most has a distressed, vintage and exotic look to it and I’d say 90% of everything is made of wood. the best part is that the furniture here is SO affordable! You could go to Ikea and get a crappy plywood table that will break in a few months & everyone else has or you can come to Nadeau and get something for a similar price and have a solid, unique quality piece. We were in the market for some side tables and they had much more than we expected: beds, large chests of drawers, dining room & kitchen tables and chairs and some gorgeous framed mirrors.
Tip: If you see something you like, buy it because chances are it will be gone next time you go back since most pieces are one-​of-​a-​kind & they only get a set number of shipments per month!
Even though we did not find anything on our trip, we will be sure to go back when we work on furnishing some other rooms in our place. If you want truly unique, well-​made, affordable furniture, be sure to check this place out!

I just moved to Chicago and needed to furnish my apartment. I found this store online and instantly fell in love. My in-​store experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and their prices for quality pieces with character were unbeatable. I highly encourage anyone looking for a new piece that isn’t cookie cutter to stop here first. I can almost guarantee you’ll find what you’re looking for!
