We booked the space for a staff retreat day but hosted our own instead of paying for their services. The place, IMHO, is just ok. It's a bunch of Ikea furniture in a good location. And you pay for the location. You also could pay for mediocre food or $50 if you want people to be able to bring in food. It's not bad but it's not great, especially given the cost. Not to mention that we booked the place for 8:30 to 5:30, so I could set up before the staff arrived at 9 and someone at FRO forgot that we were showing up early. There was no setup time. It all worked out ok but in principle, it could have been better.

Awesome venue and frankly staff. Everything was very professional, Free range office was very large. Seeting arrangement and decorating was very lovely.Thank You!!

Free Range Office is a great co-working space that feels especially comfortable and home-y. The little patio, variety of tables and seating, and friendly staff keep me coming back every week! Plus, it has 2 phone booths available for use so you can take your meetings and calls in private.

Quite frankly, one of the biggest perks of the space is that the people here are genuinely friendly and collaborative. We actually talk with each other and meet each other. I have yet to have the same experience at other co-working spaces.

Edit: turns out there was just some technical difficulties with the buzzer that day-- walk-ins during normal business hours are fine. I was informed that there's a back entrance on the second floor, should you be having trouble with the buzzer.

Just a heads up-- this place *may* be appointment only-- I tried to head there as a walk-in but no one came to the door or answered the phone. Too bad-- looks nice!

(I'll give it five stars as to not tarnish their rep, but I didn't actually manage to get inside...)

The Free Range Staff were very responsive and supportive when we hosted a poetry workshop on a weekend in their conference room. Everything went smoothly -- no hitches to speak of. Not to mention: the space is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly located. A great fit for us!

Great venue and friendly staff. We had all the tools we needed to host our event. Great location in Chicago as well. I will definitely be back next time I plan to host an event.

When you need a quiet space for calls, use free range! I usually depend on coffee shops when I'm out and about but the music and grinder are an issue for client calls. Free range was convenient, inexpensive, clean, comfortable, and welcoming.

We recently had our baby shower at Free Range Office. It was a larger event with 80 men, women and children. Prior to the event, we appreciated how prompt, friendly and supportive Liane and the entire Free Range Office staff were responding to our inquiries and allowing us to see the space multiple times. During the event, we appreciated the event staff who helped with set up and clean up. All of our guests greatly complimented the beautiful space and inquired about how they too could rent the space. We had a wonderful time!
