    Backing not assembled flush.
    Brian M.

    Do not go through Lowe's for kitchen cabinets and install. Took 4 months to complete the install after multiple product quality control issues from their Diamond Brand cabinets such as paint chipping off and huge gaps on the trim. Went 2 months without a sink and stove (living with 2 small children). You deal with some lame brain company called Premier to oversee the project and can tell they have no actual experience just phone jockeys. The 3rd party installer puts you on the back burner if your project doesn't go smooth. You pay 100% at the beginning so you have no power to hold them accountable. After 4 months and $30k+ later they leave a pile of defective cabinets for me to dump at my expense and won't return my phone calls to discuss refunds owed and discounts previously discussed for this horrible experience.

    Frayed top of Chair

    This review is for my November 3, 2025, interaction with Lowes Livermore Store #1150 regarding customer service I received (or a total lack thereof I should say) involving a patio furniture purchase. First off, I would like to thank Stephanie who initially assisted me at the customer service desk. She found the receipt/record of my purchase in the computer, and she then requested the assistance of the Assistant Store Manager on duty. She also printed out a copy of the original receipt for me upon request. I had brought in one of two A+R Townsend 2 count Patio Furniture Swivel Chairs which were purchased May 21, 2024. The chairs had become seriously frayed at the top of the chair back which we first noticed a few months ago. The non-swivel chairs did not show this type of wear but both swivel chairs did (see photos). I found it unusual that only two of the six chairs had this fraying and both chairs were of the swivel variety. After about a 15-minute wait, the Assistant Store Manager walked up to the counter. He walked right past me and my chair (which he did not inspect), looked over the shoulder of the clerk assisting me (Stephanie) and said to me "the chair is out of warranty, there is nothing we can do". At no time did he say hi, how may I help you? or introduce himself to me by name or title or even acknowledge me as a customer. I only knew his name by his name tag. He basically said, "What do you want? the chairs are two years old". They are not two years old, they were purchased, 17 months ago in the store. I told him the quality of the chair is substandard. I asked who else I could speak to and he said "Corporate". When I asked for the corporate number, he pointed to the large sign on the wall beside him and said "1-800 Lowes". When I asked him who the store manager of this store was, he pointed to the photo and printed name of the store manager on the sign on the wall without speaking to me. In my opinion as a consumer and loyal customer of Lowes, this individual, if solely based on his customer service skills, is totally unfit to be an Assistant Store Manager. He showed absolutely zero empathy for my complaint. He exhibited zero appreciation for me as a customer. When I asked him if he would like to purchase patio furniture that wore out like this in a short period of time, he had no response. I can tell you that I will NEVER, EVER purchase patio furniture of any kind from Lowes again. I strongly recommend that others look elsewhere for patio furniture also. I will seriously consider if I want to even shop at this particular store, managed by Chad Dewayne given that there another store nearby should I feel the need to shop at Lowes. Lowes has always been my go-to choice for home related purchases. Even Stephanie said to me "There are a lot of purchases linked to your name in the system, but I think I can find your order for the chairs". I can assure you, Lowes will no longer be my first choice for shopping after this most unpleasant experience. I will call 1-800 Lowes but I expect nothing in return and believe it will be a total waste of my time. As an Update to this review: I chatted with a Lowes Online Representative that informed me that the chairs I purchased were actually still under the manufacturer's warranty (Roth Allen). The manufacturer's warranty is 3 years - not one year as the store #1150's Assistant Manager (Jerry) told me. I was then directed to a Lowes customer support number and spoke to a lovely woman based in NC. She put me in direct contact with another Lowes Representative that handles Allen Roth Patio Furniture warranty issues. That individual authorized a 100% refund upon return of the items to Lowes. While this action on the part of Lowes Corporate has renewed my faith in Lowes in terms of their customer service, it by no means eliminates the rudeness and total lack of product warranty knowledge and lack of professionalism that I experienced at the hands of an Assistant Store Manager at Lowes Store #1150.

    One of the better Lowe's in the Area. I don't know but to me, farther out of the Bay Area, you get a better selection of furniture, materials and plants or trees! Does anyone agree with me?! I like going here as they are pretty organized and well stocked. Always plenty of parking and staff to help as well. [9th/100]

    This store management is certainly lacking. The way this store deals with customers is apparently based on fraud. This Livermore Lowes store sells electrical items that are store returns (also known as refurbished) as brand new. They repackage the items and list them back on shelves to sell again as brand new. I have several incidents with this store when I buy an item (mostly a power tool) that I end up discovering that it has been used and it is a store return. I reached out to several employees in a friendly manner and several has confirmed that they quickly repackage power tools .. etc and put them up for sale. This is simply Fraud. When a customer buys an item and especially a power tool, it is imperative that the tool is brand new in factory sealed box. If not, then it can only be described as fraud. You have to mark the box as refurbished by law. This is simple violation of the California consumer law. It is fraudulent to not mark the refurbished items as such (that includes store returns, demo items... etc). The reason I come to realize how dangerous this practice is the following. I recently bought a power tool. The box was not sealed but that is not abnormal. You know not all manufacturers seal the boxes with a safety seal. When I arrived home and opened the box, I discovered that the description on the box does not reflect the tool functionality itself. Therefore, I decided to return it. When I arrived to store, the lady (I have all names and they have been reported as fraud to consumer protection and Lowes HQ in both written and verbal communication by name). When I arrived, the lady asked if I used it, I said NO because I didn't use it. I know I didn't. I opened the box of course but didn't use it. She then opened the box, turn the box upside down and emptied the box on the table. The power tool is heavy so it slammed on the table. Right there I was frustrated why would she do that instead of gently taking the tool out. Then she started examining the plugs and the tool. She was literally wiping the dust and said that "you used it." Immediately I responded "no". And that is right there a claim that I lied. Based in her inspection. This was the escalation point. After multiple altercations she said that she can not refund because it is used. Of course that is another violation of Lowes return policy. When you buy an item, you can return it with 7 days even if you used it. I asked for the manager. He showed up. The manager didn't inspect the item. Instead he attempted to offer me a store credit as a "curtesy." I explained to him that I don't need his curtesy. If the return policy on LOWES does not allow the return of the item, I refuse his curtesy. Of course I refused it because the front lady accused me of lying. That is the big deal. If she has the ability to assume I am a liar and the store manager does not understand how it is a big mistake of accusing people of lying. Then it is a big deal. I, of course, refused the store credit and asked for a full refund back to my credit card. Just because she accused me of lying and the manager failed to handle the situation. The device is now with me and I intend to use its log usage to expose this fraud. In the mean time, LOWES is not a store I, or anyone I know, will visit. Of course the Livermore location. Moreover, Lowes has no online written complaints system. They have an an email but do not announce on the website. The email is customercare@lowes.com They avoid written complaints and only provide phone. However, I reached to HQ to senior directors my own ways. The other way for the public is to tag their twitter handle. They attempt to absorb some of the complaints due to publicity. Of course this issue is fraud and will lead to larger scale fraud exposure. To continue...

During January 2026, I purchased a new LG dishwasher from Homewise Appliance (formerly Airport). About a week ago, our dishwasher motor began making a high-pitched sound and in three to four days stopped working. We called them immediately sharing our concerns that this is happening within the warranty period. I have elderly people at home for whom I care, and this is a major inconvenience for us. Erik, my sales manager had provided a very good sales experience and spoke very highly of LG. Homewise Appliance also sold me an additional service plan at an "additional cost." I was specifically told that purchasing this service would get us immediate attention from technicians who worked closely with Homewise Appliance, instead of our having to rely on a home-warranty company or find our own appliance-repair technician. I was also told that if the appliance could not be repaired, it would be replaced. I verified these assurances multiple times and paid extra because home-warranty companies do not generally show any urgency. I have now called Homewise Appliance several times, but no one seems concerned about resolving the problem. I am now being told that Homewise has no control over the repair company and I need to deal with LG myself. If that is true, why was I sold any additional service plan besides the basic warranty at all? The truth is that many independent appliance-repair companies in the Pleasanton area will respond within 24 to 48 hours. There is no reason for customers to pay Homewise Appliance for an additional service plan if the company cannot provide the prompt and reliable assistance promised during the sale. A good sales experience with a family-owned business means very little if the company disappears when the customer actually needs the service for which they paid. I expect Homewise Appliance to arrange an immediate inspection of my dishwasher and honor the terms and representations under which this additional service was sold to me. Instead, I am now faced with having to deal with LG directly, without any support from Homewise, while Erik is away on vacation.

For the first purchase we selected on Sharon's recommendation a complete KitchenAid suite consisting of double oven, dishwasher, stovetop, refrigerator and microwave. Plus a stove hood and a few other pieces. Excellent selection and very competitive pricing. For our new home we swapped out some crappy appliances pre-selected by the builder and purchased a GE refrigerator and our first Miele dishwasher, and chose a Speed Queen ensemble for laundry. Couldn't be happier with any of the selections. I want to note that our move took us east of Sacramento from the Bay Area, and we were able to select our appliances from their Livermore store with products shipped to, held, and delivered from their Rocklin location, and everything went smoothly and professionally, from start to finish. Sharon even hooked us up with a top notch installer, who after installing new appliances, took our new but swapped-out appliances to local family, installed them at their locations, and then took away their old appliances. Solid A+ orchestration all the way around. Simply the best. Well done.

    Kitchen remodelling is one of the most intricate and very detailed oriented task to tackle. It is…read morethe heart of the house. Being said and before you decide to do kitchen remodelling, make sure you have the time to work closely with your contractor! I worked closely with KF from the design to execution throughout the completion of the project. Let me share my experience with KF in details. Working with their sales rep was a smooth process. We worked with Dean through the selection of cabinets, floors, countertops, sink and faucet. Then here comes the selection of appliances. We shopped around and selected the appliances we will put in our kitchen and then gave the details to KF to incorporate it into the layout of the kitchen. A layout and a 3D model was made for review to visually see how the new layout of the kitchen will look like. This is where the critical part of the work needing your attention. Make sure to check the clearances provided for the appliances are all correct. The designer did not check the size of stove we will use. Mistake was made to our layout. We didn't catch the mistake as well and drawings got released for final approval. Then the execution, demolition to our kitchen took place as scheduled. 2 guys came in to remove all the old cabinets, countertops and appliances. It was a 3 day process to demolish and clear the debris. Prepare the walls for new construction. The electrical work. One electrician started to put new outlets and upgrade our electrical sub panel. This is where it got tricky because the new location of our panel is still part of the walk-in closet. The city inspector pointed out it is against the building code to relocate an electrical panel from a closet to a walk-in closet. The good thing was I was able to divide the walk-in closet into two rooms. I contructed a wall to divide this room into a storage where the new electrical panel is located and a separate walk-in closet. I did this work myself because it was not part of the contract. It will be an additional cost if I have KF do this work! The intallation of the cabinets! This is where we discovered the layout was incorrect. The clearance made for the stove is 36 inches, we ordered 30 inches stove. The location of the cabinet for the garbage was wrong too. KF ended up replacing 5 cabinets at their own expense to correct the layout. Make sure that during this process you check every position and clearances for your appliances are correct. This your final check before countertop measurement! The measurement of countertops and backsplash. A guy came in to make a template for the countertop and backsplash for fabrication. The process is to measure and install countertop first and then measure and install the backsplash. Make sure to check the level and squareness of the backsplash and countertop. I checked the backsplash and it was out of square. I have them corrected it on the spot! This is a very critical process and very expensive to correct if installed incorrectly. The installation of new flooring. I picked LVF to replace our carpet and hardwood. There is only one type of floor we use for the entire house. This went very smoothly and efficient. The worker even show up on Saturday to do the work. He knows how inconvenient for the owner is to move things around to clear the areas to install new flooring. Kudos to this worker who did our floor. The installation of appliances. It went smoothly except the anti tipping bracket of the stove was not properly place to capture one foot of the range. I went back and forth with the installer to correct it but I ended up correcting it myself to get approval from the city. The final touches. Ensure you are there and inspect every square inch of the cabinets and walls. You have to point out to the workers to put caulking on every holes you see. KF workers were not very thorough on their final touches. The final inspection. This is where the city will come in to inspect the electrical work, the wall I constructed, the undersink cabinets and do some testing on new circuits of the kitchen. Check and check their work. If you are not satisfied with their work. Make them correct it. This is your only time to tell them to correct things you are not satisfied. For example I have them replaced the valve of the faucet where one of the hoses has tight bend. Check fittings for leaks. This is very important! As I elaborated above, KF has the means to do the work. The coordination with their project manager was not very proactive. You need to make many follow ups to get the work done. Some days have no work activities. A couple of days they worked upto 8 in the evening! Overall I am happy with the result of their work but I also spent many hours to work with them. At the end of the day, it is you who will live in the house and it's your kitchen! When it comes to cost and the hours I spent working with them, the overall cost of this project was expensive.

    They have subcontractors to do the work, these workers don't care about quality. They say…read moreeverything is included but it is not, if you need help when they're done with the job, good luck I'm still waiting for some information, they just don't care because they got paid.
