The showroom is on the small side, but they have types of lighting other stores don't, particularly if you want a beachy, cottage look or super contemporary. They are quick to pull up catalog options on their webpage, bc there are hundreds (thousands?) more available. Five stars for service. The pricing is small town pricing (more than on the web), but you won't get ANY service online, and large online lighting firms tend to make shipping mistakes or have parts missing, in my experience. They are still more expensive than other GR-area suppliers, so one point off. May still be worth it to get their service and variety.

I enjoyed this place so much, I had to FaceTime my mom to show her how cool everything was. They had new, vintage, repurposed, and hand crafted pieces throughout the entire store. Pricing seemed high, but the quality was stellar. They also have a room full of just lampshades, so if you need to upgrade an old lamp, this would be a great place to go. They have a workshop in the store where they create items and it would be so cool to take an old piece to them and see what they can turn it into. They are right off of bridge street so you can plan for street parking. We went on the weekend when parking was free.

We met our interior designer at their showroom and had our architectural plans with us, which I recommend. The process of choosing materials for your home's counter-tops, backsplashes, and other surfaces couldn't be easier. I recall them having a good amount of "stock" surfaces to choose from when we built back in 2011, but their choices have significantly expanded since then. We were able to select from a wide variety of quartz and granite at a very reasonable price point, but they have a huge selection of materials should you want something other than their stock selections. They are also happy to price out different material choices for you before you make your final choice, which makes the process that much better. Top it off with great service and professional installation and choosing Top of the World Granite becomes a no-brainer and I can recommend them without hesitation.

They premeasured our kitchen way in advance and created templates for the new granite tops. When the day came to install the granite top, it went like clockwork. They also made the backsplash so its thinner than the counter top. Very nice to look at. This may be a minor detail but its important. I thought their price was fair for the quality of the work. One thing noticeable was that they color-matched the adhesive they applied between the backsplash and the counter. Because of the cost of putting Granite (or quartz), we took our time (about 8 mos) selecting a contractor. We shopped at 5 places plus attended the Parade of Homes where we could see the installed work. The parade of Homes is a great way to get ideas and see work of various contractors. IMHO, selecting a contractor to do granite, quartz or any solid surface work cannot be rushed. And price should not be the sole basis. Best advise - ask to look at several of their work. I have seen work of other installers that made me feel really good that I went with GLGW. There are cheaper alternatives out there but as they say "you get what you pay for". I highly recommend them.

I had my kitchen cupboards and drawers refaced with Kitchens by Katie. Megan met with me soon after…read moreI contacted Kitchens by Katie. She was amazing, as she spent time helping me pick out the perfect color. I normally get 2 or 3 estimates for house projects, but after meeting with Megan, I didn't feel a need for another estimate. Jeff was my installer and he was everything a great installer should be. He was knowledgeable, kind and personable. When people see my new cupboards & drawers, they compliment the beautiful cabinetry and how big and bright my kitchen looks. If you're looking into cabinet refacing definitely check out Kitchen by Katie's, as they are reasonable, provide quality products and great installation. I absolutely love my kitchen and Kitchens by Katie far exceeded my expectations!

I would strongly not recommend Kitchens by Katie for many reasons. I'm sharing my experience so…read morethat others have a much smoother remodel than I did. And there are a few things that were misleading, as well as some other things that I should have vetted myself but didn't. First, there are things they DON'T do: they don't do soft close drawers, which is a shame because that really elevates the feel of a kitchen. They also don't remove old cabinets, you are responsible for that. They will tell you that Habitat for Humanity will come get it for free but that's not true, it's around $250.00. The workmanship: We were originally going to reface our cabinets in order to save the countertops from being destroyed, but decided to go with new because another contractor I know (not affiliated with Kitchens by Katie) was able to remove the countertops for the new cabinets. I should have canceled this entire job, but I didn't want to leave the owner Mike at KbyK in a lurch. I regret that decision. Anyways, the installation: No protective plastic was draped around my kitchen so my entire house was filled with dust, which was a nightmare. The install was fine, but there are things that are part of their design that I know many customers wouldn't like. I didn't discover this until the job was completed. There are screw holes that show in the base of all my lowers cabinets, the drawer sides are unfinished looking complete with pencil marks and splintered wood pieces. The hole gaps for the pipes were not custom fitted so things would fall through the base of the cabinet. I pointed this out and their "fix" was filling it with yellow foam which overflowed and shows when you open the cabinets. Overall these cabinets are fine, but they don't feel finished and don't feel elevated in quality. As for the owner, i say proceed with caution. Mike has a condescending demeanor, and I have seen other reviews where people noted this. I had a meeting with his team after the job was completed to address the issues and he had a very difficult time keeping his composure. My husband even asked him to stop speaking poorly to me. Bottom line, if you are looking to remodel a kitchen, hire a contractor that can do all the other things, like disconnect and reconnect the water lines, etc. They aren't required to reinstall your microwave, but they did that for me at least. It's important to think about all these little things. I would say if you have a completely new build and are starting the full build-out of a kitchen, then MAYBE Kitchens by Katie could be part of this mix, but why not just hire a contractor that does it all? If you need refacing, then possibly K by K, but you run the risk of destruction of backsplash and countertops (which happened to me, and Mike attempted to fix, but with many flaws. I'm just moving on from this mess). Please consider everything here before hiring. I regret this decision. My contractor is coming back in to install soft close drawers, by the way. Mike quoted me $100.00 per drawer at 15 drawers at a post-project meeting. My contractor is only charging me $400.00 total to fix. Please, please learn from my mistakes. ***in response to Mikes response: this is not a smear campaign, I was simply stating what happened. The photos I provided speak for themselves, and I did not say anything that was untrue. No plastic was used to protect my house from dust, that is vastly different from your perspective. I do understand that dust can fly, but John cut the tiles from the wall with a saw, and with no plastic up, dust was a nightmare. I was very clear through text with Megan that I didn't feel like rehashing this project and didn't want to talk unless compensation was part of the discussion. She chose to call me still, and provided no further resolution. I did ask for soft close drawers, you told me you only did that for doors not drawers. John told me via text you didn't do them because you can't provide a warranty. I provided photos already, the public can decide for themselves. Please do better by your customers.

I'm so bummed we spent so much money on flooring and just as much on installation for an install that is sub par and no one at the company cares. It is like pulling teeth trying to get them to respond and we have been very patient. This has been ongoing for months.
