I've been going to Northwestern Cutlery for years. Over generations of ownership, the service has…read morebeen outstanding. Never anything but the friendliest and most knowledgeable service, especially on the topic of kitchen knives. I dont know if I've ever seen a larger selection of kitchen knives ANYWHERE. We had our knives sharpened again this week, and once again, they were done beautifully at a very fair price. I've always brought in a range of knives, from very good quality to pathetically cheap, and they have always taken good care of them all. No judgment or attitude about bringing in less fancy knives. Now that they are in the larger space, it's even more enjoyable to browse at the vast supply of kitchen gadgets while waiting for knives to be sharpened.

I'm starting to wonder if it's just me--or if this is a broader issue with the kind of store…read moremanagers this company hires. I've now had poor experiences at two different outlets, each involving different store managers. Most recently, I visited the location this past Sunday, and the experience was honestly appalling. Claire, the store manager, made my wife and me feel completely unwelcome--like we didn't belong there, or couldn't possibly afford what they were selling. Her attitude was beyond rude. It felt as though simply asking basic questions was an inconvenience to her. We left the store feeling disrespected and insulted. What's especially disappointing is that we actually like a lot of the cookware here--we own quite a bit of it. But based on how we've been treated, I'm strongly considering taking my business elsewhere. It also doesn't help that the more helpful employees (like the ones we used to interact with at the West Palm location) seem to be let go, while the arrogant and dismissive managers stay. If this is the company's culture--judging customers based on how they look or what they wear--then they seriously need to rethink their training and values. No one should be made to feel like they're "less than" for walking into a store. Respect and good service shouldn't come with a dress code or a price tag.

Even though I only know how to make omelettes but ahem, I do cut vegetables, avocado, chicken, and steak. So Zwilling has been making knives since the 1700s, they're like the Porsche of German steel. We were immediately attracted to the 20 piece Pro which is made in Soligen, Germany. We wanted a natural block but they was outta stock (hey that rhymes), I'm about to bust it!! So we went with the darker block. Ahem, the knives are incredibly sharp and the set looks very well made. I'm very pleased and thus far, I've cut avocado, broccoli and chicken breast, and hot dogs (from Omaha steaks - but that's a different review) using an assortment of knives - dang, be careful!! Five (5) stars to David, he was exceptional in servicing us despite the number of people in the store, he answered a multitude of our questions like he was being paid by the question. The knives were delivered in a timely manner. I registered my purchase and will be receiving a free gift from Zwilling. Danke schein - David and Zwilling!!

Jim runs a great business. I am very pleased with not only the quality of the wood, but of the…read moreservice he and his team offer. I have bought firewood for years and I have used most of the competing business in Chicago, so I speak from experience, often bitter experience. I buy a lot of wood (we make a lot of fires!), usually a full cord in late fall at the start of fireplace season, followed by two face cords later in the winter after we've made a big dent in that initial order. The wood is a good combination of small and big pieces, the small pieces are great to start fires and the big pieces are perfect once the fire starts. Other places I've used I've had to split the wood one or two times, which while fun, quickly becomes a chore. As long as Jim runs Chicago Firewood, he's my guy. Highly recommended.

Because every single time I walk in here they have such eager employees who actually want to help you and they go above and beyond and trying to help you whether that's finding something online getting something shipped or they themselves going into the back room to find something that claims it's not available, but in fact, they did see it on the shelf. The team here no matter who it is that helps and it's always been someone different has been absolutely incredible. I love this particular location because of the great customer service.

We are overall happy with the way the shower turned out, but there were a few things that left me…read morefeeling less than satisfactory. After reviewing the scope of the project, it was estimated that it would take a week and a half to complete. Not only did it take over a month to eventually complete, the days that the team would work were unpredictable. On several occasions, as the team would leave for the day, they would tell us they will be back tomorrow, and then not show up. Or, they wouldn't be able to tell us when they would come next, and would surprise us a few days later. They ended up needing to complete this project after I had delivered my baby (original timeline would've been completed weeks prior to my due date). Additionally, we noticed there were a few design decisions that were made without consulting us, like the drywall of the shower/re-installation of the water gauge (it's now not flush with the wall and very loose) and the selection of tile at the base of the shower that doesn't match the floor. He had offered to come fix the water gauge, but after coming to look at the issue, he has not gotten back to us in 5 weeks. I had high hopes for this project, and while it still looks nice, the lack of communication made it really difficult to want to recommend Peter or use his team again for future projects.
