We didn't feel they matched up the two island pieces very well, it is very noticeable. We paid a ton of money for the natural stone and was so excited we found the perfect slabs only to have this very noticeable Joint. We understand you can't get it to perfectly line up, but the color or the pattern was very different. If it was on the back counters, it wouldn't have been very noticeable, but it was on the larger island. Vary sorry to have to write a bad review because most of the experience was good.

This review is for Pearl Design Group's Lakewood Countertops Division. I was in need of new…read morecountertops and went to several places to quote the Wilsonart HD Laminate tops, including another kitchen store in St. Charles and the box stores. Lakewood Countertops at Pearl Design Group came in at half the price of the store in St. Charles. It was about $100 more than the box stores, but Lakewood was willing to come out and measure and deliver the tops when complete, so I felt their price was worth it. Also, they explained why their process was better than the box stores. The counters looked amazing and were well done. They did have to redo the backsplashes because I needed them 1/4 inch taller than normal and someone misread the instructions, but they came and picked them up and fixed them and brought them back to me, so I can't complain!

When the items finally arrived, which I understand covid affected things, 2 months later, they were inaccurate. The rep tried to blame me, and I reshared my email which indicated his error. The rep finally realized this and then sent the correct item but without the glaze, because they didn't do that anymore, when it was done on the incorrect items. He said I could try to do it myself if I wanted. Took months, which I know is resulted from covid, but not happy with how things turned out. Go elsewhere if you can, but this was the only place that sold what I needed to match existing items.

I've been thinking of remodeling my kitchen for at least 10 years. The process started by sitting…read moredown at Lowe's with one of their kitchen designers and getting a free layout and cabinet estimate. Over the next 10 years I took that Lowe's layout to no less than a dozen cabinet companies to get their pricing. The pricing always came in around $10,000+ (except for one importer who sold cheap, rather than good cabinets in a limited number of styles and colors. None of which we liked.) Then a month ago, driving north on Gary avenue in Carol Stream I just happened to spot this place and thought I'd try again to price out the Lowe's design because we were now ready to do something. I went into the place and immediately started walking around. I didn't wait for a sales person because I wasn't sure if I'd like the place and didn't want some fast-talking salesman to start accosting me for my business. I'd looked for a few minutes before I was approached by Jim, a pleasant older gentleman. He was nice so I told him what I was looking for and we casually discussed a few options. I told him I had the Lowe's kitchen design and he said he'd be happy to price it out with the cabinets I liked (he didn't want to see their pricing). I emailed him the design minus the prices and he came back with some design drawings. We talked some more over email and I asked him to stop by my house to see my kitchen. He did and we had a great conversation and we got ideas for other ways to do the kitchen. After looking at the kitchen, Jim put together everything we liked, added in the monthly manufacturer promotions, and ended up THOUSANDS less than any other quality cabinet place. So today we visited the showroom to go over every part of the cabinet order before putting down a deposit. After all was said and done, even after we added many pullout drawers, did some upgrading and getting some trim pieces (not on the original Lowe's design), he beat my 10 year old barebones Lowe's kitchen design price by over $1,500! I can't recommend Jim and this place strongly enough. (I'll let you know if things don't go smoothly once we receive the cabinets.)
