Below are a few consignment shop reviews for Evilena’s Red Dresser in Frankfort, Illinois.

What a gem! After many recommendations, I finally dropped into Evilena’s and fell in love. I now understand why my friends and family raved about Evilena’s. I enjoy consignment shopping, but it can be hit or miss. Not at Evilena’s. They have wonderful, eclectic taste, and the staff is extremely helpful, especially Denise.

Love this store! I am new to the whole consignment shop thing. They have new and old pieces, but the older furniture is nice and has been kept up. I am building a house and trying to find unique furniture at a lower price. I Come in on a weekly basis and they have new things all the time!

Stopped in for the first time the other day and wow!! I walked through the door and gazed around and thought where do I start looking first. Its a very warm and inviting atmosphere.They have items that you can’t find else where. If you love an item don’t go home and sleep on it because next time you come in it might be gone. I now stop in a once a week to see what treasures i can find.

Went here for the first time with my wife to pick out a buffet for our condo. Found three, the price was right for the one that we ended up taking home. Wonderful service, great staff, and good products all around. We knew we were in the right place when they had free Bibles at the front door. We will definitely be returning!.

In December, I went on the Frankfort house walk and saw the home that belonged to the owners of Evilena’s Red Dresser. Not only was it the cutest house I had ever seen, but also it served as inspiration for my house. Once I saw that she flip-flopped her living and dining room, I had to too. Duh, genius.

Last weekend we took the plunge, and I recruited anyone within earshot to help us jockey the furniture around. It only took four different floor plans, but we finally got the living room set. However, even after putting in both table leaves, this left us with lots of space to fill in our dining room.

And so, the story comes full circle. Today I stopped in Evilena’s Red Dresser to see if they had any sideboards as nice as the ones in the owner’s home. They did. I totally struck gold. There were quite a few to choose from, but after consulting with the design staff, I chose the eggplant sideboard with brass/gold hardware. Very attractive, reasonably priced and I was assured that eggplant is the hot color trend currently in all of the design magazines. Sweet!

I was anxious to get the sideboard home, so I whipped my car into a closer parking spot and the entire staff helped load it into my car. I was a little short on space; three drawers weren’t fitting. Don’t worry, Design Consultant to the rescue again! Knowing that we lived only blocks apart, she offered to follow me home and drop off the three errant drawers. Amazing customer service!

Successful shopping trip at a super cute store. Looking forward to pulling the rest of the room together and finding some eggplant inspired accessories.

I adore this place. Every time I am out visiting my parents, I pop in. I always leave with a little treasure. They have awesome furniture, from modern to mid century to antique. Lots of really lovely little things as well are mixed in. Prices are great, especially for the area. You never feel anything is priced way too high. The service is wonderful and I always get creative decorating ideas. I highly recommend.

I’ve been hearing about Evilena’s for quite some time but I finally stopped in. I love this place! There is so many treasures to be found here. You can buy it on the spot, or take your chances and wait and see if you can get it cheaper. Most items have reduction dates on them, with the prices they will be reduced to. According to their “rules” posted, the items are only there for a limited time as well, so there is always something new. I will definitely be back.

This store is packed with stylish, quality merchandise and very reasonable prices. The owner is so delightful. No junk at this establishment, but some really unique and adorable pieces. The furniture was in excellent condition. I wish I knew about this place before I bought my new sofa. I will tell all my friends about it.

Evilena’s Red Dresser is a NEW store every time you walk in! The owner, Jan, and her staff are all friendly, helpful and they LOVE consignment shopping! I have FIVE CHILDREN ALL BOYS, so I never buy anything NEW. I bought a lovely “gently used” side table with a few bumps and bruises on it at Evilena’s for my living room. THIS IS A TRUE STORY! I only had the table for about a week when one of my boys fell asleep on the couch next to the table. While sleeping, he stretched out his long legs and knocked over the table. It hit my wood floor putting a big dent in the table AND on the floor! Well, there ya go! I didn’t pay a lot for the table, so I wasn’t mad about that. The floor was another story, but I got over that too. I strongly recommend Evilena’s!!! I love it there. ;0) Watch for her weekly ad in the Coffee News!

Great Store, many great deals. The ambience is so awesome. The staff is friendly and this is the place to find treasures you just can’t find anywhere else. They treat you with such friendliness, and there is always new inventory so you cant wait to go back!!!

You can save money and find out about in store specials if you join their Text Program, I just texted to 36000 and in the compose area I typed the word evilenas “with no apostrophe” then I hit “y” when prompted and I was in, so now I know all the deals and events. Thanks Jan.

We have purchased many pieces from this store. My whole family enjoys going in to see what new things we will find. The people who own and those that work at this store are of the very best quality. I also love that they support others business ventures by promoting The Room Designer!

Visited these stores since last December. I like making things new again! I love my dressers, purchased 2 of them and the many more items later. I live far away, so when I can I call usually to get prices of items. Always, very kind and polite on the phone. I even received pics of the items from the store when requested. My favorite thing to do is just stop in! I never know what I want until I see everything. Hint: I shop with my hubby for the big items, and for little ones I go myself! Relax, you can purchase your item, then you have a few days to go pick it up. I have never left empty handed. Just be warned, you will love so many items you have to decide which one to bring back. Everything is displayed nicely for the days when you lack inspiration. A bonus is the woman working in the stores, hands down, best sales associate’s I’ve ever seen, and I worked retail world for a long time. Well done ladies! Well done!

This is a favorite place of mine to shop. A style for everyone. Almost don’t want to recommend it because the items go fast but it is a treasure!
