We packaged it up and drove it back to get a refund only for the toilet to drop while loading it onto the dolly at the store and shatter.

We will absolutely be purchasing from them again when we redo our four upstairs bathrooms if for no reason other than to recognize an ethical business.

I don't even really need this part but I didn't want to get caught with my pants down and I was already there. Oh well. This is ridiculous and I hope I save someone else some money from this ripoff.

I ended up buying a couple mugs, some travel lunch boxes for my toddler, and throw pillows for our bed! The store was well stocked and very clean. The cashier checking us out was very friendly! I can't believe it has taken me so long to come here, but I will definitely be back!

Yes it is a library so you would think they would use quality thickness for the shelving. Nope. The workmanship was marginal. Lots of punchlist items. Lastly the drapes came crashing down because the finished library wood wasn't properly secured to the ceiling. Their excuse, they didn't know that drapes were going to be installed in the valance. The windows are west facing and the library has a very large tv in the room. So blackout drapes are obvious. For the amount of money they charge you would expect much better. Buyer beware. We will never use them again. And yes we have hired other people to fix their poor workmanship.

Oh Lord... How we fell in love Waterworks fixtures!! We went in knowing full well it would be a…read morelittle out of our budget, but decided to adjust other elements of our home remodel to accommodate our love of their unlacquered brass fixtures. Our salesperson was very quick to reply - even if the correspondence was lacking in warmth - but I persevered. I wasn't looking for friendship. But that is where my satisfaction ends with Waterworks. Overall, the products are amazing. You are paying for an extremely high end product. You will love them. You will dream about them. You will spend a lot of time on Pinterest. If you can swallow the bitter pill of feeling like a second class citizen. I just didn't enjoy the experience. We were ignored on our first visit to the showroom - with no excuse, mind you... There was a blizzard going on and no one was shopping at the Merch Mart that day. It was us... and a family flipping through the blueprints for the new home, their designer, and their Waterworks salesperson. We should have know our relationship would be doomed from the beginning. We eventually fell in with our salesperson, who seemed nice and knowledgable, if not a little uninterested. We knew what we liked... we just needed someone to help us maneuver the Waterworks product line. We got super excited. We KNEW we were going to make it work! Then we got the price. Whoa. Regroup. My two star review is not a reflection of the price... We knew going in it was going to be the high end of our budget. It's about the customer service you receive when spending a lot of money. Because lets face it... we could all go to Home Depot and buy Kohler. But when you spend money at Waterworks, you expect to be treated well. Not ass-kissing. I'm talking basic respect. We are a young couple. Sure... we are only doing a kitchen and a bathroom right now, but if we had enjoyed this experience, we would have recommended Waterworks to EVERYONE. We would have been devoted Waterworks loyalists. Instead, we will take our money elsewhere. Additionally: + The website is terrible. + You have to specifically ask that the quote include all the components to make the faucets work, etc.. That seems really, really silly... But to not even ASK if we want those components included seems sneaky.

I am constantly sooooo grateful for Dan Ryal's professionalism, respectfulness, empathetic ear when I panic call or email him with our latest problem. I am so grateful that Dan is my rep - my guy, who has made working with Studio41 so wonderful, that we are increasingly using Studio41 for our business and construction. I've thanked Dan a million times, he's a very humble guy who just sheepishly says, "well, it's my job, you're welcome, of course." I certainly can respect a person and their work ethic, but when someone consistently goes above and beyond, I believe it deserves recognition. So easy for people to reach out and complain these days, but not to compliment.

We chose Studio41 for our bathroom renovation because of their beautiful product selection and…read morebecause we received the recommendation from our contractor. We assumed the higher cost would come with a higher level of customer service and communication, but unfortunately, that was not our experience. Prior to purchase, communication was solid. However, once payment was received and the order was placed, communication significantly declined. One major issue was that we were not informed us that our order would be split into two separate shipments with different numbers. I received one invoice with one order number. When we received notice that our order was ready for delivery, we reasonably assumed the entire order had arrived and ready to be delivered. Instead, only half of the order was delivered. Because Studio41 does not deliver items into residential units, we had to hire movers to transport large and heavy items--including a vanity, toilet, and tile--into our condo. Had we known the order arriving was not the full order, we could have planned accordingly. Instead, we incurred the cost and inconvenience of hiring movers on two separate occasions. When I contacted customer service to discuss the situation, the response was disappointing. Rather than acknowledging the communication gap, the representative was dismissive and implied that split shipments are common knowledge. As a customer, I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect this information to be proactively communicated, especially when it directly impacts delivery logistics and additional costs. We also encountered issues with Studio41's return policy. We purchased Kohler mirrors that ultimately did not work for our project due to installation requirements. Although the mirrors were brand new and still available from Kohler, the only option offered was a return with a 50% restocking fee. Given the substantial markup on many products and the overall purchase amount, we expected more flexibility and a greater focus on customer satisfaction. To be clear, the products themselves are beautiful and high quality. My dissatisfaction is entirely with the customer experience after the sale. For a company positioning itself as a premium showroom, the communication, support, and return process fell well short of expectations. Unfortunately, I would not shop at Studio41 again and would encourage others to carefully review delivery and return policies before making a purchase.

The facility was clean, and our instructor, Tim, was great--knowledgeable and full of pro tips. Unfortunately, the experience after the class was disappointing. After paying $109 per person, we were surprised to find that we had to stand while eating the meal we had just prepared. We also were not allowed to take any leftovers home. We've attended several cooking classes in Chicago as well as other cities, and every one of them provided seating so guests could comfortably enjoy their meal, as well as take-home containers for leftovers. Not allowing guests to take food home seems unnecessarily wasteful. It's difficult not to wonder whether the leftovers simply end up being discarded or eaten by staff. For the price of the class, providing chairs and take-home containers seems like a reasonable expectation. While Tim and the quality of the instruction were excellent, these two policies significantly detracted from the overall experience. Unfortunately, because of these inconveniences, we won't be attending another Sur La Table cooking class.
