Torrco was recommended to me for plumbing supplies by a contractor that I know. When we began…read morerenovations on my kitchen in early December, my wife and I went to Torrco to pick out and purchase all of the plumbing fixtures for our new kitchen. We were helped in the store by Evelyn Zepeda, and ended up purchasing thousands of dollars worth of products from Torrco that day, including a $1,200.00 Rohl Faucet. The items were not in stock and had to be ordered, but that was fine, as the kitchen renovation was just beginning, and it would be weeks, if not months before they were needed. Eventually the items were delivered, and they were installed in the new kitchen some time in February. The kitchen renovation was completed in mid-March, and we began to use the kitchen and faucet. Within a week or so, we began to notice that the handle was sticking and binding. Shortly after this, we discovered that there was an o-ring around the handle that was pinched and causing the handle to bind. I called Torrco to inform them that the faucet was defective, and was told that I could ONLY speak to Evelyn about the issue as she was our salesperson. Evelyn, however, was unavailable the first few times that I called. Eventually, I spoke with Evelyn, and she requested that I take pictures of the problem and send them to her. This was done on April 19, 2023, and Evelyn confirmed receipt on April 20,2023 stating that she would forward them to the manufacturer and get back to me. I received no response from Evelyn until I requested an update on May 9, 2023. Evelyn responded almost immediately and stated "Yes, they said that the escutcheon just needs to be untightened and that o-ring put back into place. It should be an easy fix, probably then they installed it was tightened to much. Let me know how it goes." I responded to Evelyn indicating to her that the faucet handle was not assembled by me or my plumber, but by the manufacturer. I also reminded her that I am not a plumber, nor do I know what an "escutcheon" is, and that I just paid $1,200 for a faucet that I expected to be of high quality, and didn't think that I'd have to repair a brand new faucet myself, or hire a plumber to repair a brand new faucet. This email went unanswered. I reached out to Evelyn again on May 16, 2023 asking for a response. Evelyn stated "I followed up with them today, as the tech support got back to me with the answer I provided to you. They said that is not something that needs to be replace it need to be untightened, I will let you know at soon they get back to me." I again mentioned to Evelyn that there was obviously a defect with the faucet, and that I should not be held responsible for repairing this. Evelyn responded on May 18, 2023 and stated "I complete understand, I reach out to them asking for a different solution. They sent it to tech support, once they get back to me I will let you know." Weeks went by, and I received no communication from Evelyn. At this point, the o-ring had now completely fallen out of the faucet, and the handle has been loose and jiggly as a result. In mid-June, my wife went to the store and spoke to Evelyn directly, asking for a solution to the issue. Evelyn did not offer any additional information, but told my wife that she would follow up with me. As of today, August 18,2023 I have received no response from Evelyn. As I have received nothing further from Evelyn, and did not want to spend even more money to hire a plumber, I decided to take Evelyn's suggestion and attempt to repair the faucet myself. While attempting to "loosen the escutcheon," I managed to peel the matte black finish off of the faucet. So now, after paying $1,200 for a faucet, being denied warranty coverage on a brand new faucet and being told to repair it myself, I am now left with a faucet that is still not repaired, but also damaged. If Torrco and Evelyn continue to refuse to stand behind their products, I am going to be forced to purchase replacement parts for a brand new faucet, and hire a plumber to install them. I am absolutely disgusted with the awful service that I have received. My wife and I feel as though, once they took our money, they no longer wanted to be bothered with us.

We had visited both the older location and then newer location now directly across the street. The prices are...well..pricy, but that's because you are paying for quality. Actual quality, not Home Depot quality. I'm by no means bashing Home Depot, they are great for tons of things. As we were at Bender, we were even encourage to google Home Depot prices in comparison to Bender's and obviously Bender had cost more, but we were taught what aspects were different. Like prior to our Bender experience, I had no clue that specific items are "made for Home Depot" and are not the same exact items available for purchase elsewhere. The same goes for Lowes. Alright, now that I've gone off rambling about non-specifically related nonsense... All in all I'd totally recommend Bender if you want to do your home right.

It was a simple mistake and should have been easily accommodating with their Reception and or Sales team. Instead they turned me away at the door and told me to drive to New Haven. I didn't have the time to do their addition drive. Since they couldn't make an adjustment to just look at the showroom while I was there, they just lost a very good client. For both a new bathroom and a new kitchen remodel. Thanks for the deplorable customer care Benders! I don't recommend this place to anyone!! Stay away and choose another business that can appreciate your time, effort and hard earned dollars.

NEVER AGAIN. Think you're ordering a white kitchen? Think again! All of the white cabinets have a…read moregrey border that's meant to act as a "shadow." Well rather than acting as a "shadow," it looks absolutely crazy. Picture an old ratty car that has one door different than the other. This grey edging creates distinct grey lines throughout the cabinets and is very clearly visible when any door/drawer is opened. Needless to say, my order was refused upon delivery. I would never spend $10k on a kitchen I was unhappy with. The customer service as Wren is nothing to brag about either. They're friendly and accommodating until the moment you put your deposit down. Once they lock you in, all bedside manner goes out the window. It is constant back and forth with changes, delays with a "compliance team", MULTIPLE measurements taken because they were wrong the first time. Then trying to talk to a decent human being about this grey edging as been a nightmare. I would never recommend for anyone to use Wren Kitchens in ANY capacity and will never be taking my business back to them. This was truly a disappointment.

But I also had a delicious cheap meal here that I have to talk about!! I wasn't starving, just wanted a snack before a long few hours of furniture contemplation, so I got a kid's size of the swedish meatballs for $5. Literally crazy value. 4 meatballs, a scoop of mashed potatoes, scoop of peas, scoop of lingonberry sauce. Delicious as always, just as good as everyone says. And genuinely, I cannot recommend enough checking out the falafel meal. The falafel is thick and textured almost like a meatball itself, and completely full of delicious flavor. It's absurdly good. I usually go with meatballs because they're a classic, but after this experience, I might have to do falafel balls next time. And they were cheap as well! $5 for 8 falafels, couscous, hummus, and a lemon!! What a steal! I'll be back for more soon, probably when I finalize which dresser I intend to purchase. Definitely worth checking out! Service was nice and employees were all kind and helpful to me. Great experience.

A good selection of cabinetry and countertop materials for what we needed. One of the advantages of working with this company is they provide an all in price which includes design, fabrication, demolition, electric and plumbing work, drywall, installations of cabinets and all appliances as well as paint. They coordinate everything. Agreed on a schedule and they kept it. No issues with "extra" work coming up during construction either. They are very interested in customer satisfaction. There were some crossed signals on communication but we were flexible so no big deal. Recommend them for kitchen bath work large or small.

I already wrote a negative review but here we are..still dealing with the company with no ethics…read more The company asked that we take down our negative review because it affects their pay. I told them if we can get our counters with no issues and our missing item delivered with no issues I would consider it. But weeks later, we still have no counters because they cannot figure out how to measure for our countertops. It's not a complicated kitchen. Also we were supposed to have a delivery today for missing parts and nobody ever showed up. So I had to call to find out where they were because I waited around all morning and I was told that the truck is delayed and it's going to be a few more hours. Nobody ever called to tell us this... so again it all comes down to the fact that this company has zero accountability. Still do not recommend. Edited again to add: they did not deliver in the delivery window and did not bother to call. When I called them they say "oh we called your husband and told him" -- that was a lie. Finally received the missing parts that I waited around all day for and guess what?? ITS. NOT. CORRECT. Zero respect for their customers time, zero respect for the significant amount of money that we paid in full for, and still zero accountability.
