Great showroom! -- lots of displays of kitchen and bath cabinetry and countertops. An excellent place to start if you're renovating or creating a new space in your home. Helpful staff who are knowledgeable about the product lines and willing to assist in finding what you are looking for. A shout-out to Len for helping us with interior pre-hung doors!

Dotty was a very patient, honest & knowledgeable staff designer. She explained in detail how my vision wasn't attainable with the footage I had & the positive and negatives of certain aspects. I left there fully confident w/ what I had chosen & bought. My kitchens gonna be GORGEOUS!

I walk on without a mask.( my choice and your Choi if u wear one I dont judge). the guy inside with a mask under his chin asks me if I have a mask while he is putting his on correctly. I said, sure I'll go get one.( to comply with their way of following). I come back in, not 35 seconds later.there he was with mask under his chin.how are you going to ask me to do something that your company wants done, yet you dont follow the exact rule you just asked me to do. I will never walk in that store again.

You may find bargains here, but don't expect good service. I tried to return an unopened item they stocked and the older man at the counter looked at me like I had 2 heads. All he said was "all sales are final" I reminded him I had just spent $4000 there and all he did was repeat the same remark. There is no policy posted about returns nor is it on their receipts. Buyers beware!
