Bought a bathroom vanity with heavy scratches at the bottom for hundreds of dollars. Only for the store manager to try to give me a trim piece which I did not plan on using because it didn’t go with my bathroom remodel and then to tell me they would order a touch up kit. You would think after spending so much money…

We sourced quite a bit from here for an office & cafeteria renovation, and after several months of use, we're still pleased with the quality of everything. Prices are surprisingly competitive yet the quality still good enough for residential and light commercial use. The staff were also very helpful in bringing in extra stock from a nearby branch, and accepted our undamaged excess material for credit without question. So, don't let the location or branding stop you from checking this place out for the next renovation or project.

Bought a bathroom vanity with heavy scratches at the bottom for hundreds of dollars. Only for the store manager to try to give me a trim piece which I did not plan on using because it didn’t go with my bathroom remodel and then to tell me they would order a touch up kit. You would think after spending so much money on their product they would not charge me for the trim kit due to their lack of handling product during shipping. I only accepted the item because they said they have a fix for it. Very Disappointed.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Hi Danny. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the bathroom vanity. We understand your disappointment and we take your feedback seriously. We always strive to deliver products in perfect condition and we regret that we fell short in this instance. Please email [email protected] with your name and preferred contact method, so that our store can reach out to you directly.
