I was really impressed by the level of detail in all steps. There was even one particular point where they called out a partition being ~3/16in off from the drawings! I am also a woordworker, and am really particular about my home projects. I could not be happier with the work they did. I would recommend these guys to my closest friends. For kitchen cabinets, you get what you pay for, and I have no doubt these will last for a very long time. Really exceptional workmanship all around!

Global Tile Design is a great place to go if you need help making tile decisions. Anita has given…read moreus a lot of thoughtful recommendations over the years, and the tiles we ended up with look beautiful. The shop is a bit old-fashioned, and communication is not really their strongest area, so I would go in with that expectation. But if you are looking for unique tiles and want real design advice from someone who knows what they are doing, I would recommend them.

I was looking for tile edge trim in either a jolly or bullnose for a tile I bought online because I…read morecouldn't find the shape anywhere else. The online shop did not sell a matching edge trim for the fishscale tile. I went into Global Tile Design and was told by the Asian lady in the showroom that the "factory" doesn't sell tile edge trims separately and since I bought the fishscale tile elsewhere, they won't sell me any tile edge trims. I knew that wasn't true. I immediately left without bothering to talk to the lady anymore. How did I know that wasn't true? I was just at Daltile and Galleria Tile near the design center and they were more than happy to look for tile edge trim (jolly or bullnose) to match my fishscale tile. They were super friendly and I highly recommend going to Daltile or Galleria Tile. I don't recommend anyone visit or even check out Global Tile Design. They aren't willing to work with you to find trim tiles unless you purchase tiles at their shop and comes up with a lame excuse that the factory won't see trims separately. Don't expect any service from them and based on other reviews, it says a lot about them. Don't waste your time. Go check out Daltile or Galleria Tile.

It's been about a year since Studio Becker completed several extensive projects in my home. From…read moreour first design meeting with Camilla to final installation with Garrett I'm still amazed at their expertise and commitment to excellence. No detail or craftsmanship were omitted. I chose Studio Becker because they crafted a kitchen and walk-in closet 25 years ago that still looks and function like new. After three total remodels they were the best and classiest company I've ever worked with.

This review is long overdue! My experience with Studio Becker was back in November/December. From…read morethe minute I called Studio Becker for an estimated cost on a job to shift our kitchen island counter towards the wall counter for few inches to the end of the job and after the job, it was extremely pleasant! Shi-Shi was the main representative I worked with. She made everything so easy and pleasant for us. This is a small job. I thought Studio Becker might not be interested in taking the job. In addition to that, I didn't think they will have it done so quickly. After I talked to Shi-Shi on the phone requesting for a quote on the job, immediately she gave me a quote. At first, I was concerned about whether we can shift our kitchen island counter and asked many questions. She patiently answered all my questions and was very knowledged. Then immediately the next day she informed me the days available for them to get the job done. It was within a few days. That was awesome! Unfortuantely I wasn't able to be there and give them the payment at the end of the job. I was out of town at the time. Shi-Shi did not give me hard time at all and friendly suggested another option. Then I dropped off the signed paper work one day with my relatives without an appointment. Shi-Shi kindly gave us a tour of their showrooms including their James Bond 007 designed kitchen! OMG!!! They are true work of arts! Beautiful work! Shi-Shi was very knowledged, passionatly introduced their products with lots details. I highly recomend all of you who are looking for innovative, aesthetic deisgns for their new home to stop by Studio Becker's showroom in San Francisco and ask for a tour of their James Bond 007 showroom!

I visited Galleria Tile today around 1:20 PM to view large format tiles (24x48). I wanted to see…read morethe third tile on display. The sales associate assured me that the first two large format tiles wouldn't fall as she retrieved the third one. Unfortunately, as she lifted the third tile, the first two fell to the ground, cutting me three times on my wrists and hitting my foot. What was most disappointing wasn't just the accident, but the lack of immediate concern from the associate. Instead of checking on me, she focused on cleaning up the mess. I had to ask another associate behind the counter for a bandaid. Only after I tended to myself did the first associate ask if I was okay, without really listening. When I told her I had three cuts and my foot hurt, her response was, "Oh, you have small cut." We teach children that when someone is hurt, even by accident, the first step is to show empathy. That did not happen here. I'm unsure about the quality of the tiles themselves, but this experience was unsafe and very disappointing. Customers should feel safe and supported when visiting a showroom, and that was not my experience today.

I recently sold a a pair of flats in San Francisco and my realtor recommended staging the empty…read moreunit. Honestly, I hesitated doing this as I felt that it was just pouring money down the drain, but I was wrong. Staging really does give the potential buyers ideas on how to best use the space. We actually sold the place for more than the independent estimated appraisal value that we had paid for about 1 year earlier. Well, that was also kudos to my realtor, however, I do want to say that I thought that staging made a huge difference. I mean I wanted to live there once it was staged. Our closing got delayed as the buyers had a family emergency and we didn't want to pull out all the furniture in case the deal fell through. Bella extended the rental for a week and didn't charge us anything more as a courtesy. Thank you so much Bella. the only strange thing was they didn't take checks. Either cc or Zelle. Ok, I don't own this property by myself and I don't have a joint cc with my partners. It was over the limit set by my bank to pay them, so I had to make multiple payments while I tried to get my bank to up my limit. Normally, I just use Zelle to pay back friends for joint dinners, not send $$$$ to vendors. It was fine once I got the bank involved, but it would have been less stressful if they just took a check.

From our first meeting to our last, Wyatt and Renee were both very attentive to my husband and my very different needs and decorative styles. Renee and Wyatt were able to streamline both of our wants into a living space that neither of us could have ever imagined. I love that they gave us ideas for our space that we had never thought about. And they were able to utilize spaces in our home that we had never used before. With all big home projects we had a budget and Bella Casa was able to work with ours to create a living space that as beyond our expectations. They are exceptional designers I would highly recommend them for your own home design or staging projects. Our home is finally beginning to look like the home we have always wanted. Truly A+MAZING company to work with.

Since my last review, I've called on Apt. 46 twice, and thought it was definitely time that I…read moreshould be appending with some new goodies. First, let me drop you in on a little secret: APT 46 DOES THE COOLEST FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS ANYWHERE. She gets the most unusual and fabulous flowers and has such an artistic eye in her arrangements, they are outrageous, really. Just amazing. I have gotten two arrangements for my beloved, both of which were received with bliss. That sounds corny, doesn't it? Well, that's my fault, not the flowers. Ok, now the shop. This shop is so well-appointed with a wide variety of reasonably-priced and unique items, it is always difficult for me to NOT buy the entire store. Seriously. I could find a nook or cranny in my home for this entire shop, and would be thrilled to do just that. But I dig up some restraint and limit myself to a few choice items. Last time I picked up a huge mirror star that is now hanging proudly in my living room. I also got some darling Halloween items there, so I highly recommend checking out Apt 46 during any special holiday. Oh wow, the chocolate-pumpkin malt balls!!! HEAVEN!!! But don't wait for a holiday. Treat yourself to Apt 46 anytime you can, and I promise you will find a several delightful things you cannot do without. I am such a fan, I have run out of superlatives.
