In Short
With its glass display cases, gray-and-white linoleum floor and high ceiling, Equinox has a cool air. Lamps and Arts & Crafts-style furniture are among the big-ticket items. There are handmade cards and colorful humorous cards for all occasions. You'll also find gift items, including evening jewelry, hand-blown glass vases and picture frames, candles that smell good enough to eat, and glass paperweights.

Customer service...

by kkolmodin at Citysearch

Bad customer service at Equinox? You must be crazy! Wrapping is free, even for $5 ornaments...staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a bad experience, but I have often noticed some very rude and patronizing customers...

wonderful store for everything

by jerkeo at Citysearch

This store is top-notch from merchandise to sales personnel. Whenever we are in town we shop The Equinox as they have merchandise at Christmas time no other business has. The Christmas displays are superb.

Inexplicable

by InTheKnow at Citysearch

I can't even begin to describe this shop, it can't be done. They have it all. From furniture, lighting, home decor to giftware and know how to put it together. Without doubt, the best shop in Chicago. Kudos to the owners and staff.

A wonderful store...

by blue_isis at Citysearch

Simply a wonderful shopping experience! I would recommend this store to anyone who is looking for a place to browse, seeking fun and different gifts, or searching for that perfect lamp....plus the gift wrapping is free, elegant, and a real time saver. If you don't have time to stop in, be sure to at least window shop--especially at night when all the gorgeous lamps can be seen in the windows.

BREATH TAKING

by nettypoo70 at Citysearch

THE STORE HAS A CERTAIN CHARM ABOUT IT. IT

TAKES YOU BREATHWAY WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN, SO MANY DIFFERENT PIECES TO PICK FROM. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND VERY HELPFUL WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT VISIT TO EQUINOX.
