We're reopening and thrilled to welcome all our amazing customers back!

What a journey the last 2 1/2 months have been! We hope you - and those you love - are well and continue to stay safe. With Illinois moving into phase three of Governor Pritzker's Restore Illinois plan - Jubilee Furniture can reopen with a few safety measures! As everywhere in the state - you'll be required to wear a face covering. We ask you practice social distancing (maintaining 6' from anyone not in your social bubble) and we'll have hand sanitizer available to use as you enter - and leave - the store. We don't anticipation we'll have so many customers at once that you'll have to wait to enter - since our building is large and we can safely have 80 people in it - but we'll make sure we don't exceed that number and will ask you to wait to enter if we do..

While the store was closed - we refreshed with paint, cleaned up our check out area and have installed floor markers by the register to help with social distancing as you wait to pay. Our goal is to keep you, our volunteers and staff as safe as possible! With that thought in mind - alas - there'll be no free cookies out (for obvious reasons). 

We're also committed to continue updating our virtual store - thus providing another way to shop at Jubilee Furniture without even leaving your home (and - to be perfectly honest - open a whole lot more hours than our physical store!). 

This down time also allowed us to empty several trailers where we'd stored furniture when our warehouse is too full and our pickup team resumed donation pickups this week with vengeance! All that to say - the store has never looked better and we're packed with incredible furniture!

What follows is some of our current inventory (and read to the end to see about a special sale happening this weekend!):





this gorgeous oak buffet/storage piece offers so much storage space it's crazy. Measures: 25" by 66" and stand 37" tall. The two doors lock (key taped into top drawer). It's in excellent condition! 
Priced $225







on top of the amazing oak buffet are two hammered metal lamps that I LOVE - priced $20 each. Mirrored tray our hand sanitizer is on is also $20



this 40" square glass top coffee table sits on a painted and distressed metal base. 
In very good condition and priced $55





this Blu Dot Design sofa is part of their Mono collection and retails for $1,699
Our's is in excellent condition and priced $595





this leather (wherever the body touches) and pleather (everywhere else) sofa has a recliner on each end! It's a wall hugger (so when reclined the recliner moves forward instead of hitting the wall). The filler has bunched up in a couple of places (my last photo is trying to show you where it's clumped in the foot rest) and there are some marks but, overall, in fine condition and priced $125




some minor wear on this Drexel Heritage stately chair and ottoman! Priced $125



I love the look/wood/style of this one drawer (the photo of the open drawer was completely blurry - I'm so sorry!) coffee table! It's 2' x 4' and has some small marks but overall a solid, 
well built piece! Priced $95




this butterscotch color leather is AMAZING! The leather feels wonderful! There's a scratch in the leather on the side (second to last photo) and then both arms are kind of indented where the inner filler material has shifted (last photo). But this is a quality piece! Priced $175 




here's another FANTASTIC leather/pleather piece! This one is an electric oversized recliner and it reclines with a simple push of a button! You'll need a LOT of space behind this one if you want to fully recline (fyi). It's in excellent condition and priced $175



wonderful wingback in pristine condition for $95












what a statement piece! High gloss finish on this GORGEOUS dining room set! Table measures: 41 1/4" by 81" and comes with two 19 1/2" leaves (that insert on either end of the table). Has six chairs (two with arms). Some minor spots on the upholstery and one of the leaves has two dings in the edge (see third photo from end). A support frame pulls out from under the table and the leaves have metal knobs which insert into the support piece to hold it firmly in place 
(it's actually quite ingenious). Priced $525




this is an elegant wingback chair in excellent condition and priced $75



Room & Board upholstered twin size bed in very good condition. Priced $225. 
Part of R&B Wyatt Collection and retails for $1,549



beautiful rolling hope chest measures: 22" by 62" and stands 22" high. LOVE the wood! One issue - lid is missing support pieces to keep top open (you open it and it immediately closes - will NOT stay open - which is both annoying and kind of dangerous). Priced $45





EXCELLENT condition American Heritage Game Room Collection Napoli swivel stool - retails for $549.95 EACH (don't believe me - check it out here). We have five stools and are 
selling them for $75 each! Such a deal!




moving outside - four patio stools priced $155 for all four




gorgeous outdoor sofa for $695




matching coffee table for $125; SWIVEL side chair for $295 and stationary side chair for $225



lovely rolling metal bar cart for $125



all-weather wicker patio table with four chairs and cushions for $595



another all weather wicker sofa for $695





swivel rocker and matching stationary chair (it might bounce/rock - I didn't sit on it ) - both have scratches on their metal frame - priced $125 each



three identical red metal "cube" side tables (I believe with tempered glass tops) $75 each. 
I should have taken measurements but it was hot out there!

FINALLY - here's our welcome back "flash" sale info. Look for an orange slash through a price tag which indicates that piece of furniture is HALF OFF THE LOWEST PRICE! I walked through the store and snapped photos of SOME of the flash sale tags I found.



















Again, so glad to be with you, dear reader! I pray you're healthy and well!

Call (630) 784-2890 to schedule an appointment to see our outdoor furniture selection!

We're ready to schedule additional appointments to see our outdoor furniture inventory! Please give Connie a call at (630) 784-2890.

We're also working hard to figure out how we can safely reopen IF Governor Pritzker allows the state to move into phase three in the reopen process. Here's what happens in phase three (taken from Governor Pritzker's Restore Illinois document):

Phase 3 – Recovery: The rate of infection among those surveillance tested, the number of patients admitted to the hospital, and the number of patients needing ICU beds is stable or declining. Manufacturing, offices, retail, barbershops and salons can reopen to the public with capacity and other limits and safety precautions. Gatherings limited to 10 people or fewer are allowed. Face coverings and social distancing are the norm.

Remember our virtual store is regularly being updated and available 24/7 from the safety and comfort of your home!

We can do this, dear reader! Hang in there!

Suspending outdoor furniture appointments for now. 😢 New wonderful virtual store site live! 😍

Wow! We're grateful for the response to view our outdoor furniture by appointment but have to suspend scheduling any more appointments for now. As always, I'll keep you posted when we can resume. 

Meanwhile, I'm excited to share we have a very slick virtual store up and running! Instead of me updating the online inventory page on the blog - please, periodically, check our online virtual store instead. We hope to be updating with "new" items as quickly as we can INCLUDING outdoor pieces! 

I hope you're well and staying safe, dear reader!

Outdoor furniture - ready for you to see by appointment!

The sun's shining (some days) and all our outdoor furniture (almost all is from the showrooms at the Merchandise Mart) has been arranged in our side yard where we can carefully social distance so we're ready - by appointment - to have you come and take a look (and hopefully purchase something!). Please call 630.784.2890 to schedule an appointment to see our fairly large inventory of outdoor furniture! We'll be wearing masks and ask you to do the same (please bring your own).

What follows are photos of some of current inventory. I don't have prices because, again, we're asking you to:

  • call 630.784.2890 to schedule an appointment (an appointment is required)
  • please wear a face mask
See my post from May 6 for details on shopping online for our indoor furniture!

We miss you!


Hey dear reader! Though Illinois' shelter in place has been extended (again!) through the end of May - effective May 1st there are some changes to how retail businesses can operate and we're excited about what that will look like for Jubilee Furniture!

So, though the store still isn't open for you to physically come in - stay tuned for some new ways we hope to bring the shopping experience to you!

We hope - and pray - you're all well and staying safe and check back later in the week for an update!

Non-Essential Businesses Closed Through End of April

With Illinois continuing the order to "shelter in place" through April 30th and for all non-essential businesses to stay shuttered - Jubilee Furniture will remain closed until the order has been lifted.

Not only can't you shop at the store but you also can't pick up any furniture you might have previously purchased from us and donors can't drop off any furniture donations. We are also not offering donation pickups during this time.

We're sorry if this negatively impacts you, dear reader, but hope - and pray - you're staying well and healthy and know, together, we'll get through this.

Take care!
