M&E Sustainable Furnishings

If you are looking for creative and well built furniture in the Chicago suburbs, look no further! From Hollywood Regency, French Provençal, Art Deco, and sleek modern designs, there is nothing these owners can’t refurbish. Their trademark is well built furniture with great bones, then they take it, work their magic, and turn it into something exceptional. I am very happy with the two pieces that I purchased.

My husband and I had just moved to Chicago when we discovered this business. We had purchased a new king-​sized bed and were wanting an eclectic style bedroom, so we decided to procure our own nightstands instead of ordering the ones that matched our bed.
We searched online for over a month, visited five or six furniture shops, and even made a special trip to Chicago’s Chinatown to try to find something unique. Our greatest setback was the lack of quality in the pieces we saw.
My husband stumbled on a local listing for a gorgeous crimson nightstand from M&E that was priced to sell. I love restored furniture and creative vintage flips. We drove thirty minutes to pick up the piece.
The owner’s inventory was stunning; beautiful and vibrantly colored vintage furniture that was carefully restored. They are extremely open and friendly people who are passionate about what they do. Their prices were more than fair. We were hooked.
We asked them to keep us in mind for another nightstand. Not only did they keep in touch, but they found one! They re-​did it to our liking and set an appointment for us to come by and get it. Then, my husband spotted another one that he loved more. They graciously offered to repaint it to our liking (at no extra cost, though we offered) and sell us that one instead of the one they had prepared for us. With a generous spirit like that, they should be in business for a long time!
