Lack of knowledge was a big turnoff for me. I don’t want to get into trouble later having to guide them like little kids on how I want my KC to be like. I prefer to engage contractor that hire people with actual knowledge.
You can’t go any wrong with signature kitchen, except that you’re paying premium price. But better pay premium price for peace of mind rather than engaging companies like woot and having headache later.
I thought that was an isolated incident but I had the exact same experience with that KC designer.
They were recommended to me by the contractor that was renovating a neighbouring unit.
Weird she did not know the difference between plywood or plyboard. Then she had trouble reading and following instructions, I specifically mentioned I wanted a worktop that is 638mm and she tells me 600mm is sufficient. I tell her I want all the frames to have a backboard she starts telling me a backboard is not needed as the walls are sufficient.
I gave her the specification for a Bosch built-in refrigerator and she designed it in such a way the spot I told her for the refrigerator she made a tall unit with shelves and placed the refrigerator by where my washer dryer is located.
Eff'ing waste of time to deal with some of these types and I just settled with IKEA>
