I would recommend Affordable Pet Boarding to anyone that wants a piece of mind while they are away from their pet. Not only are they truly affordable, but the time and attention that was invested in my dog was certainly noticeable. more

Affordable 3/8/2012

Affordable Portables is a great place to go to get some affordable furniture for your place. I have gotten several things here, from a sofa to a lamp. I always get a good deal and the stuff looks good in my place too. The shop itself is a bit cluttered, but don't let that get you down. There is a lot of be found in this store and if you look long and hard you will find a good amount of things you could use for your home. more

Good place for quick shopping and good service 5/12/2009

I had great service from a very friendly staff person named Barry. They have a good selection, and the only thing I could really find wrong with the place is how it's kind of hard to park there--which really is just something you have to deal with in the city. Anyway, I'm very happy with the futon I purchased. Pros: Good selection, friendly staff Cons: Parking more

Good Furniture 5/1/2009

Got a awesome futon from there for pretty cheap, which is good considering I'm a poor college student. The clutter isn't a huge deal, just don't expect a showroom. Nice enough place, I'd go back. Pros: High quality and low prices Cons: A little cluttered more

Horrible experience 4/2/2008

From the scary delivery men to the laziness of waiting a month and a half for a credit of an item which came with missing paint and dents in it. more

Love it! 10/3/2006

I was looking for information on Chicago furniture and wanted to share my experience with Affordable Portables. The person who waited on me actually had a brain! She was also cute and very nice. I bought a couch that beat the other couch I was looking at by hundreds of dollars! The couch has had heavy use of all kind and is still going strong. It's a cool store that is unique and helps make Chicago such a great city to live in. I've read other reviews and think they do not do the store justice. Go there check it out. It's way better than a trip to Sweden. Pros: Price, Selection, Quality more

Affordable Portables - worst customer service ever experienced 9/28/2006

Affordable Portables was a disaster to deal with, they had the worst customer service, I received damaged furniture, and was told contradictory information from their sales people. I was treated very rudely and will never shop there again. The items may be cheap, but it is not worth the aggravation to shop there. more

User review by truthmaker 4/1/2006

I wasn't really impressed with this location in my furniture search - I had gotten quotes from about five other places in the Chicagoland area, and their quote was not comparable, especially for the quality of their furniture. When I asked them why their prices were so high, they told me they didn't know, that the catalog had set prices (but added that their prices seemed high to even them)! On the other hand, they had a great selection of furniture that you probably couldn't find anywhere else, and some of the stuff was reasonably priced. If you decide to go - make sure you know what the price should be for the furniture you're buying. more

We were ripped off by Affordale Portables! 11/19/2005

My friend and I bought a dresser at Affordable portables in Chicago. The employees told us that their furniture is much better quality than stores like IKEA. It turns out that the dresser we bought is also sold by IKEA, but for half the price. The sides, top, and front pieces of wood are thick and somewhat sturdy. The back of the dresser is two thin pieces of cardboard and a piece of plastic holding them together. The screws provided for assembly are not typical screws. The screw driver ruined many of the screws because they are of such poor quality. It didn't become clear that the dresser is a piece of junk until I opened the boxes and began assembling it. Be careful! This store does not offer a full refund. We lost $400.00! Cons: Poor Quality, Poor Service more
