We are doing a small butler's pantry in our home and needed a countertop so I went to IntelliStone because they had helped me several years ago with a small project in a bathroom and I knew they had a good selection of remnants. The designer I talked to there could not have been more rude. She first interrupted me as I was explaining what I was looking for to say that the minimum fee would be a $1000. I said that was fine, but then asked if that included remnants she then rudely said that if I wanted a 1" by 1" square of granite, it would be $1000. I thought ok, as I did need quite more than that... I then showed her pictures of the project explaining how there was granite in the adjoining kitchen that I knew would be impossible to match so I wanted something noticeably different but coordinating. She quickly said that she recognized the granite I had, so I said, "oh really, do you perhaps have some of that on hand?" Here's condescending response was that they might, but they generally only install it in very old homes. I then asked if we could take a look at their remnants outside, to which I was told I needed to sign a waiver to walk out there with her and literally said, "if a piece of granite falls on you, it's your fault not ours, so please don't sue us." Once outside she indicated a remnant as the one I currently have, you know the one only old, outdated homes have... I looked and it was nothing like the granite I had shown her in my pictures, nit even remotely similar. Not sure why I was even still talking to this woman, but I looked at all they had outside which consisted of mainly whites, Grey's and blacks. i was looking for warmth... both in terms of color scheme and personality. Honestly, at tgat point if I had found exactly what I wanted, there is no way I would have done business with them. Thankfully, IntelliStone has competition in Franklin. 10minutes later I was talking to the most friendly and helpful lady at The Granite Place who took me back into their shop so I could see everything they had (no waiver by the way). They had very nice selection and were very accommodating. Sorry I even wasted my time at IntelliStone. It will never happen again, nor would I ever recommend them. read more
