They were extremely professional from the design to the execution and installation of the project. When we ran into an issue with the size of the drawers they were quick to correct the problem. We were consistently updated throughout the process and the timeline they provided at the beginning was accurate. As small business owners, they wanted to make sure we were fully satisfied with the end result and it truly shows in their workmanship.

The quality of the construction is outstanding, and exactly what we had imagined when we originally came up with the concept. Mike and Brian were a pleasure to work with -- professional, on-time, and responsive to all of our needs. They are true perfectionists, going above and beyond to touch things up that we didn't even notice. We can't wait to work with Wade Brothers again on a future project, and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality, custom pieces for their home.

I had a wonderful experience from design through installation! I worked with Brad on the design,…read moreand he was incredibly patient as I went through several iterations. Since the closet was still under construction, there were changes along the way, and Brad was always flexible, accommodating, and helpful throughout the process. Scheduling the installation was also very easy, and they worked around my availability. The installation crew was fantastic--professional, efficient, and respectful of my home. They did a beautiful job and made sure everything was thoroughly cleaned up before they left. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend them!

Edit to add to the owner's response:…read more The owner is a blatant liar. Also, near blind as he doesn't seem to recognize the difference. To correct his lie, they never offered the free replacement. I initially held the remaining payment expecting them to address the issue, but they threatened me with things like filing a lien. So I paid the remainder. I even paid extra to replace the incorrectly installed drawers, which were flat drawers. The second time, they were installed incorrectly again, differently designed shakers. The result is what the photos here show. Extremely irresponsible. BTW, you are the one who did incompetent job and you want to move on without fixing it? What a joke. --- This was our 2nd time working with them. The first time, back in 2020, went very smooth, so we decided to work with them again for our new home. This time it was night and day. It couldn't have been worse. We chose shaker everywhere, but noticed the design draft showed the top drawers flat. The designer told us it was a glitch in their new software, but they went ahead and installed the flat ones anyway. I asked to have it changed and held payment until they fixed it. Instead, they blamed me for an outcome I supposedly approved, and insisted I pay extra to make them shakers. So I did. Then the final result came out like the photo. There's an obvious discrepancy in the width of the cove area (the sloped section between the outer and inner profiles). The designer couldn't even see the problem. The owner never responded at all. I even filed a complaint with the BBB, and they never addressed it. So the BBB closed the case. It's painful to see them treat me like this when I liked them so much 5 years ago. Avoid these crooks if you can.

I'm so happy that I found Planet Cabinets. I have a small kitchen and I was so ready to update it…read moregiven how much time we've been stuck at home because of the pandemic. I tried working with other cabinet suppliers including Home Depot, but the service was terrible. Ofer at Planet Cabinets was incredible from the first email to set up an appointment! We met and he walked me through his showroom, gave me several options, and followed up with a detailed quote in my price range. We talked to confirm measurements, etc. and he always followed up quickly. He was present when the cabinets were delivered and quickly replaced a damaged cabinet. Thanks to him I have my new beautiful, functional kitchen!!!

Ofer was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy -- he took the time to walk us through our options and helped us feel confident in our decisions. We went with Orange Cabinetry, a more budget-friendly brand that Ofer endorsed in terms of quality and customer service. Even though there was a delay in stock (which we were informed about in advance), the team encouraged us to stick with the sage green color we really loved instead of settling for something else just to speed things up. I'm so glad we waited -- the cabinets are beautiful, well-built, and exactly what we wanted. We've gotten a ton of compliments. Planet Cabinets also helped us source Jeffrey Alexander hardware, and their support with sizing and quantities made that process easy. Overall, we felt informed, supported, and never rushed. Highly recommend Planet Cabinets if you're looking for a company that balances affordability with honest, thoughtful service.

Their recommendation to work with Melinda for design was helpful - 5 stars for her. That being said, you certainly get what you pay for with this company. Their subcontractors were good, and the work they performed seems sufficient (we'll see how it holds up), however project management/communication was a nightmare. The left hand is certainly not talking to the right hand with these guys. Plan on quitting your full-time job, because you'll need to be there managing your own renovation step by step. (GC lives in Michigan apparently, so needless to say he wasn't really keeping tabs on the work being done.) Simple things like telling us that a contractor was coming on Friday, and they'd show up unannounced on Thursday - easy thing to remedy with a quick text - but that didn't happen. Expect some annoying little "nickel and dime" billing with them as well. For example, we were told to order additional IKEA products - that we discovered *ourselves* were actually not needed - costing us in shipping fees. They offered to return the items to IKEA, then billed us for making the trip. (A heads up would have been nice.) They also billed us to move supplies stored in our backyard/garage into the house - again, I could have moved it myself had I known. Bottom line - would I hire them again? Probably not. It was a headache.

My experience with KCD was excellent. The first time I ordered through KCD was for a basement…read morerental unit renovation project (shown in the photos). A representative from KCD came out to sketch out the plan and provided a free quote, including 3D models. It only took a few days, and cabinets arrived in less than two weeks. I ordered the Charleston White, the qualities on these are great and have now lasted through the first year with no issues. My tenant loves them. Now I was planning on another renovation project for another rental unit before my tenant decided to renew the lease. This time, I ran into a bit of an issue with communication between the KCD rep about getting quotes. I was pretty upset and wrote an email about the poor service, come to find out, they had system issues and was not receiving the emails. The owner contacted me directly and was deeply apologetic. He even offered an extremely generous discount. Unfortunately the project did not go through however, I truly appreciate any business who shows great customer support. I have a few projects coming up and look forward to using KCD.

We were very happy with the quality and craftsmenship on how they were made. As well as, the shades available for ordering. As it turned out we contacted KCD and spoke with Peter, was to be our rep. Peter was always so professional and patient with us during our many design changes. He never made us feel that we were being a bother. He also gave us great ideas for the kitchen design and answered all of our questions and concerns quickly. There were many emails over the course of this whole project. Peter even came to our home just to make sure everything was in order before finalizing our purchase. Peter did initially come over for our original measure and in most cases that is pretty much all that is needed for a kitchen cabinet project. When the cabinets, they need to be inspected for any defects/damage. There was an issue we had regarding a shelf as well an adjustment issue we needed on our lazy susan cabinet. Peter was very quick to get back with us. As well as, get us in touch with Sergei at the Chicago location, whom handles issues like this. Sergei came over to our issue and immediately arranged for their service person to come over and took care of everything. KCD is very fortunate to have someone like Peter working for them.Thank you so much Peter for all you did for us! You really were a pleasure to work with. John & Marisol
