It has gotten better over time. There has been a lot of turn over here. A great place for unusual gifts and supplies. There was a themed bridal party in progress while I was there. The bride to be had lost her engagement ring 💍, and the staff recovered and started looking for her,and returned her ring to her before she had even realized it was missing. That alone rates a five star review in my opinion. One more thing, the jeweler at the heart of the retail space is quite honest in how she prices her wares. My wife has entrusted to repair quite a few pieces of her jewelry over the years.

Amazing layout and so much to look at and choose from. Nice service. It looks so much smaller from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised.

Large selection of interesting things to buy. Only if one could actually shop. Its a horrible experience. I dont need to be stopped every 6 ft by an employee. Was looking for a gift item. You cant hold an item walk a bit and look at another. You cant think about a possible purchase. Most of the items are highly priced. I cant buy all that I would like to so I have to look around AND SHOP. Again, which you cant do. And dont ask any of these employees any questions about any items for sale unless you enjoy short aggressive replies. If the owner of that particular booth is not the person you look for info from, you are SOL. Once asked the lady working the jewelry area a particular question as I was looking for military themed items for my daughter. She should be working a bar door off Rush Street. You can buy many of these same items in Elburn being sold by the same vendors in a much more pleasant environment and experience.

This place is great 👍. They have so many cool ideas 💡. My Mom used to kidnap Dad and I to go along. I swear we wouldnt leave for a hour or so 😩. OMG. It was fun going back there today and remember the good times Dad and I had with her. Have lots of time available and have fun😉.

Such a cute historical building filled with individual little shops. They have everything you can imagine, some things that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else such as sachets for your closet and drawers. My purpose there was to find some high-quality tea. Hospitali-Tea has a great selection of tea and tea paraphernalia. Really worth a trip in there. The building is small, but there is so much to see. It is well laid out and organized.

Very great place lots of nice products they have lots of excellent things to buy most of all the staff Very friendly and very professional

More crafts than antiques. Organized and clean.

Nice crafts sold here!

Very neat things, great collection. The people who work there though could be a little more friendlier.

Lots of unique items. Reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff.

My family has always loved this shop. Its a sweet little adventure. They have everything from decorations to blankets and jewelry. Theres furniture, costumes and even little old soda and candy stands for kids. Theres stuff to make necklaces and charm bracelets. A great place for Christmas, wedding, baby shower, birthday and housewarming gifts. 10/10 would recommend.

Love this place. The associates are so nice . The store is very neat and very organized. Had to walk around twice because there is so much to see.

Exceptional Service at Golden Chain!!! Lynn has some beautiful pieces and took her time to educate me on purchasing a replacement stone. Very sweet!!

A great trip down memory lane . Sue and I like to stop in when were here to see whats change for the seasons . A lot of different venders offer many antiques, all prices seem to be negotiable . Friendly staff there to help you and answer any questions you may have . Worth the time to stop anytime .

All kinds of stuff here. Friendly.

Nice place lots of help if you need it...

I have been going to the market for over 30 years. Always a great experience!

Cute place, but why do the employees always have to grab something out of your hand as soon as you pick it up? Geez, they act like your gonna steal it if they dont hold it up front for you. I barely decided if I definitely wanted the gift or not, and next thing you know they are grabbing it out of your hand and taking it up front to the counter.Relax!

Love the variety of items! Lots of small shops by each owner providing a large amount of products to choose from. Awesome products and prices. Place is so well designed!

Nice little antique store with pretty good prices!

I always find something unique for friends and family. Very reasonably priced gifts. Been going here for years. Love it

The shop itself is big and filled a wide range of items. staff was friendly. i would recommend stopping by.

Last minute gifts for any occasion....this is the freaking place. They got everything from snacks to furniture to toys and etc. The environment is beautiful with an antique store vibe.

Beautiful Place I’ve had wedding Ring pieces custom made from the jewelry counter there and getting some more custom work done to replace my other piece that was lost the bottom piece is made from the jewelry lady there!

Awesome shop. John and John were playing music today and they were awesome! Check this store out.

I love this place. The jewelry store in the middle of the room is a bit pricey. More than Zales actually. The Quant little shops are fun. I always find great gifts. Come check them out.

Shop local. Shop local. Shop local.

Everyone is very helpful and friendly. There are many unique finds, as someone else mentioned, and reasonably priced. Lovely things for the home.

Great store set up with individual booths. The booths are well displayed with a variety fun unique items. I will definitely be back.

Interesting mix of small booths, shops. Some filled with antiques others filled with collectibles potpourri in country chic candles. Some old, some new, little bit of everything.

Congratulacions

A variety of shops in an old warehouse building. Many unique finds. Lots of great vintage. Fab pricing.

We were in Illinois (Rockford and Gilberts) on business. Stopped to do some shopping and caught an employee following my every move. There was no reason for this behavior. Even my husband was surprised. We will not be shopping there again. We did, however, stop at two other places and happily spent our money there!

Very nice place to shop with numerous small vendors offering unique items for sale. We buy all of our holiday decorations for inside the house here.

Great place to shop for homemade gifts and crafts, teas, coffees and such. Entrance faces route 31

Very sweet place to browse and pick out that special something. Love the variety of merchandise and the friendly shopping atmosphere! Super nice folks at State Street Market Shops!

If youve never been here you are missing out! A hidden treasure. With many treasures within. Stop at The Golden while youre there and say hi to Lynn.

Love to browse around the store. So many delightful things to look at. They even have a tea shop

Nice selection of new, used merchandise and antiques! Love this store!

What a great place to find gifts all from local business.

Very cool selection!

Love this place! Always find lots of good stuff! Been going there for years! Sally the owner is so sweet!

Always fun to stop and have a LOOK see...things change constantly. Especially nice if you need a unique gift for someone special. Bonus...most times you can negotiate the price just abit!

They have a number of interesting booths with a variety of novel items!

Nice place to visit and hunt for that perfect treasure for a friend of yourself. Nicely decorated and constantly changing decor and items.

A group of small independent booths that require the added step of going to the front for payment instead of concluding the transaction with the actual merchants. They seem to specialize in crafty and seasonal items.

There are definitely some great finds inside, but their system of ringing things up is so incredibly annoying. The checkout lady always gets upset that you didnt ring them up somewhere else. Super confusing system.

Many vendors with a decent selection and value. Staff is friendly. Some booths can be hard to navigate if you are not agile.

Nice shop. Employees are extremely helpful. Mid-range pricing.

Other then mixing old and new this store can hide some amazing finds.

Great selection, good prices, super unique. Def recommend.

Its a place for everyone s taste

Its a great place to look for antiques knick-knacks very friendly staff its a place where you can spend some time at

This place has some really well designed booths and a huge selection

The prices are fair, the staff is friendly. Inventory varies, as youd expect, so it can be hit or miss. Ask about delivery if you are looking at a larger piece.
