It's hard finding people who do it all: good work, good materials, reasonable pricing AND great communication. Also PATIENCE. And I need that because I ask a lot of questions and I worry a lot but Jayson never was impatient or abrupt or too busy. Here are pics from the remodeling of the small kitchen in my 75-year-old, 750 sq ft. home. Kitchen looks way bigger now and is MUCH more functional. Previously there was a lot of dead space. I wish I had before pix! I didn't think to take any. I do, however, have one pic of the old laundry area off the kitchen and so am including that.

Yelp review -- 0 star Title: Open on a holiday, but terrible…read morecustomer service and a threatening confrontation I stopped into South Bay Industrial Hardware today (Nov 11, 2025) because they were open on the holiday and I needed a can of Fix-A-Flat. The owner, John, completed the sale but the can I bought had a leak at the top of the hose -- something I've used before and never had an issue with. I explained that the tube looked tightly packed and might have been damaged in packaging, and asked to exchange it. Instead of listening, John stared at the can suspiciously and acted as if I was being dishonest. He reluctantly let me exchange it but warned that if the replacement didn't work I wouldn't receive a refund. He grew rude and condescending during the interaction, which was upsetting. After I left the register I said, while still in the store, "Thanks for not trusting me." He laughed. I regret that I used a bad word once I was outside. What followed was alarming: he came running out of the store and tried to grab the exchanged can out of my hands. He threatened to call the police and -- while I was recording from about nine feet away -- said into the phone, "she's right next to my face." At one point he would not state what he thought my ethnicity was, which felt explicitly hostile and discriminatory. I have video of the incident and plan to preserve it and report what happened. I'm sharing this to warn others about the poor, confrontational customer service and the intimidating behavior I experienced. I will not recommend this business based on how I was treated today.

My wife and I happened to wander into the Williams-Sonoma in Manhattan Beach last Sunday with no…read moreparticular mission other than to browse. I was immediately drawn to the espresso machines. Don't ask! We were greeted right away and exchanged a few pleasantries before continuing to look around. A little later, a woman who I think may have been the manager mentioned that Jonathan was their espresso machine expert and introduced us. Jonathan was friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately offered us a drink. "How about a cold brew?" Absolutely! I've been considering a De'Longhi fully automatic espresso machine for quite a while, and Jonathan took the time to answer my questions without any sales pressure. He helped me narrow down the models and gave me the confidence that I know exactly what I'll be buying when I'm ready. This trip was for gift shopping, so nothing came home for me this time, but I'll definitely be back. I've always liked Williams-Sonoma, and this visit reminded me why. Great products, knowledgeable associates, and genuinely helpful service. Thanks, Jonathan! 5 stars.

There were a few problems, like cabinet damage during manufacturer shipping, and two different drawers that needed slides replaced.

By day three, the roses had wilted so dramatically they looked like they'd just come back from Burning Man and needed to "find themselves." For clarity, we did everything properly. Fresh water. Trimmed stems. Clean vase. They were treated better than most houseguests. And yet, here we are. For the price, I expected romance. What I got was a botanical countdown clock. I would genuinely have been better off buying roses at Trader Joe's, and that's not something I say lightly after spending what I did. When you pay premium prices, you assume the flowers will last longer than a long weekend. It's disappointing because the arrangement was lovely and the presentation was great. But at this price point, durability should not be optional. Three days feels less like "Valentine's bouquet" and more like "romantic rental."
