As indicated by the sign, this store is family owned and operated, which is I absolutely…read moreappreciate. They sell a bunch of different kitchenware items, from knives, to pots and pans, to salt and pepper shakers, cutting boards, and other small items. They don't really have a wide selection, though. They only carry two brands of knives - Henckels and Wusthof. The store is way overpriced! And I don't mean just certain items, I mean the whole store. A small, metal tea strainer was $6 and a wooden spoon was $8, and it was made with porous wood, which is low quality. The space is also quite crowded, though this might be because of the liquidation sale they're currently having. But if they're having this huge sale, why were the prices so much higher than they should have been, ESPECIALLY during a liquidation?! I visited the store with my brother, who is a cook at a fine dining French restaurant in Toronto. He was unimpressed with their selection and prices as well, even for a small store, so I know it wasn't just me that thought so.

I went to the Cookware Centre to purchase a knife set that no one else in Ottawa seemed to sell for…read moremy sister for Christmas. The Ex Boyfriend knife set to be exact. For being a display model it seemed overpriced but I bought it anyways. The gentleman put it in a similar box to what it came in and promptly ripped the box to make everything fit. I brought it home and examined it more closely to notice that one of the rubber pegs to make sure it doesn't slide off the counter was missing and my husband saw that it was scratched. I brought it back to the store to get a refund seeing as how it was the last one and the response I got from them was that all of the knife sets come scratched whether they are new or display and that they would only give me a store credit. I responded with that even though it was damanged they wouldnt give me my money back and that even though they gave me a $10 discount for the box being ripped they still wouldn't budge as its store policy. I paid $150 for this knife set. This store seems like a rip off to me. Now Im stuck with a store cedit and nothing in the store I want to buy. So unless you are positive you NEED something from this store and triple check to make sure it's not damaned, I would not shop there.

When the delivery of my kitchen sink was delayed, her dedication to customer service kicked into full gear and resolved to issue very quickly. I really appreciated that.

We…read morehave been invoiced multiple times during our dealings with Hendrix and have paid the balance owing within a reasonable time line. However, in the beginning of 2012 they shut down their Peterborough Office and since then asked all their employees to work from home. One of the invoices was not paid within 30 days due to lack of communication on their side with our accounts payable department and so Hendrix charged us $1,104.92 in late payment charges. We spoke to Hendrix Accounts Receivable department and the manager on the phone was very rude and said that their sales representative had his cell phone on the whole time and we could have contacted him. The Hendrix AR Dept. was told that many times our sales rep. would not respond to his cell phone and had irregular hours due to the fact that they shut down his office and had to work from home. The Hendrix AR Dept. informed us that the reason why the late payment charges are so high is due to the fact that they would charge interest on top of the interest. All invoices for the equipment we purchased has been paid for in full with the exception of the ridiculous late payment charges that the Hendrix is asking for. We feel that Hendrix is bullying us to make a payment on an unjustified invoice they created.

I'm surprised that this Stokes outlet doesn't have a review yet. I'm "Stoked" to be the first!…read more I really wasn't shopping when I stepped into this shop; really - I wasn't! I was only innocently walking around the mall trying to attain my daily quota of steps!! It was the display at the front that called me into the store. Anyone who has ever gone into a Stokes knows that they offer tons of great kitchen gadgets, and usually at good and competitive prices. The sales on the day I went into the shop were no different. There were new, attractive fry pans made of unusual materials that I've never seen before, and which are non-stick, and they come in 2 sizes. The handle looks like it's wood, seamlessly attached to the pan. I wanted a lid to go with it, and the clerk very suavely lead me over to the hanging display of universal glass lids which fit 3 different sizes of pots and pans. This is dangerously good, as I prefer clear lids so that you can see what's happening inside the pot while you're cooking. Opening the lid to see inside releases all the heat, and it's not as energy efficient. So I was sold on this. Bonus: the edge of this lid is red silicone. Lovely! So the clerk cashed me out, but on the way through the sale, she segwayed into an extra sale: there are 3 or 4 different products on the counter that can be purchased at a discount when you spend over a certain dollar value. Most of the time these are not good for me (I've already got them!), except this display offered a kit that contained a peeler, kitchen scissors, and a ceramic knife. I've wanted to try a ceramic knife for a very long time. Let's just hope I won't cut off a limb when I try it! I can be a danger with a knife - dangerous to myself! My current peelers might be a bit dull already anyway. This kit was an extra $5 or $6; well worth it. Further bonus: with my receipt, I got a coupon for $15 off my next purchase (time limit about 1 month into the future), provided my purchase is over a specified dollar amount. That too will be dangerous! And for those of you not in the know, Stokes is affiliated with "Think Kitchens", one outlet that is conveniently located in the Tanger Outlet mall. That's another location where I can rack up the steps. And the coupon is good at either of these stores. Look out world!

When I went in I was amazed at the selection of teapots! They have some really great designs and I love the Asian-style tea sets that have small cups. Some pots were round, others square, and there were tons of colours and patterns available. Many other dishes were available and a good selection of knives. This is a great place to go shopping if you redecorate your kitchen, or to get an interesting gift for a friend. The man in the shop greeted me when I went in and let me know that if I had any questions I could ask. He seemed happy that I browsed for so long. This shop is a hidden gem, check it out!

The contractors at Forever Kitchens are extremely talented and truly have a passion for remodelling kitchens, and delivering a great experience for the customer. My complete kitchen remodel was handled seamlessly within 2 months from our first initial meeting and all from in our own home!! Amazing guidance with step by step process by this contractor with our total design we had planned for our new kitchen footprint and layout to cabinet selections and stone countertop selections, prestigious carpentry skills, drywall finish and plumbing to the tiling of backsplash, and our hardwood floor installation of the complete main level entrance to our new kitchen along with complete construction of a wall we had removed for a more open concept. They handled all city building permits seamlessly and the 2 onsite meetings with the city building code inspectors. From my 1st conversation to the final days of the project, the entire crew were always available to answer all my questions, on time, and professional. They cleaned up all the debris left daily and made it easy for our family's evening use of the kitchen. We were left only 2 days without a functioning kitchen, amazing experience ! They promised to deliver more than I asked for, we are so happy with the detail of our kitchen now! Well done Forever Kitchens team. Thank You Julia, David, Riley & Ellie

Even worse, it happened days before we were scheduled to leave for a long-awaited trip to see extended family. We really didn't want to miss it. Fortunately we knew this was a good contractor as they had done some excellent work for us previously. These guys came right away and got to work. We left on schedule. They ran tests and identified the type of mold present in the wall. Unfortunately moisture had been seeping in and/or condensing in all the foundation walls for some time, they discovered. They removed the mold and got the proper machines to dry and decontaminate the place. We decided to redo just about the whole basement, if they were up for it, and they were. They added various measures to prevent any future mold and improve energy efficiency, like waterproof insulation and regrading outside. And they added an egress window, backflow valve, some nice pot lights, and beautiful laminate flooring. All the work was completed promptly and to a high degree of quality. We are very happy with our basement and would not hesitate to recommend Forever Kitchens as a contractor.
