Morgan Design Group (MDG) is an interior design firm, with Home being their showcase store, located…read moreon Santa Cruz Avenue in beautiful Menlo Park. The downtown area is filled with home decor and furniture stores, but Home stands out in that interior design is their specialty, and they offer complementary in-home interior design consultations on appointment. We walked in to make an inquiry about a reupholstery project, and although this particular job is outside of the scope of their specialty, I enjoyed browsing the well appointed interiors of the store and chatting with a friendly employee there. At the Home store, they sell custom furniture and work with you for fabrics selection and other particulars for your specifications. Apparently the MDG comes from Park City, Utah, where the Greatest Snow on Earth is! This fact maybe entirely unrelated to your home design needs, but knowing that Morgan Design Group has started back in 1993 there may provide for some reassurances that they are experienced in what they are doing. They provide design and space planning for new construction or remodeling projects, interior design services including furniture, accessories, art, and window treatments. They can make selections for tile, cabinetry, flooring, moldings, and things like that, via working with your contractor, architect, or landscape designer.

I was looking to install a pergola in our backyard and evaluated multiple options and various…read moredifferent price points, including a DIY unit from a SoCal company and a European unit from a Florida installer. Ultimately, I chose StruXure and Blue Sky, and working with Bob Grossman made it clear I made the right choice--his expertise was immediately apparent. Design & Problem Solving: The initial quoting process was done virtually using photos of our outdoor space, and Bob shared relevant pictures of similar recent projects. When his team came out for the live site visit, they identified a crucial code issue regarding heater clearance in the original design. Bob quickly proposed a revised solution that met all code requirements while maintaining full form and function. Although this required a slight cost increase and a small parallel roof modification, Bob was completely transparent about the pricing. Process & Installation: After contracting, Bob provided shop drawings, confirmed all components, and ordered materials. He even graciously held the materials until our parallel construction dependencies were ready. The installation crew was highly skilled and completed the main structure in just two days. When a couple of Bromic heaters didn't work initially due to a faulty control switch, Bob and his lead installer followed up diligently over a few extra visits until it was perfectly resolved. The Final Result: We now have an absolutely awesome pergola attached to our home on two sides, featuring: - Motorized louvers and motorized shades on the open sides - Integrated down-lighting and LED color accent lighting - A smart outdoor fan and elegant, high-power Bromic electric heaters - Internal drain pipes within the posts connecting directly to existing backyard water drains - Full smart control for everything Pergolas like this are a significant investment, making proper design and expert installation absolutely critical. I highly recommend Bob, Blue Sky, and StruXure for a fantastic experience. I will add pictures once the rest of our backyard construction is completed!

Bob came out to see our yard, helped us think through the best design, and balanced the desires of my wife and I. He never pushed us with a hard sell and customer satisfaction truly is his number one priority. Bob also helped us stay on budget, pointing out which upgrades were worth it and which we could skip. We especially appreciated Bob's responsiveness throughout the entire project as he always responded quickly. His crew was professional, detail-oriented, easy to work with and very experienced. We had some changes mid installation that didn't slow the crew down at all. They also cleaned up thoroughly every day (even vacuumed metal shards), and finished a few days ahead of schedule. Bob checked on the installation progress often and in person just to make sure the installation was meeting our expectations. I highly recommend Bob and BlueSky Outdoor -- great design and ideas, transparent communication and very professional installation.

Harry Singh only seems to respond to emails about once every two weeks, making it almost impossible to move the order process forward. Calling isn't any better--you end up on hold for a very long time, and when someone finally answers, they often ask if they can call you back. Unfortunately, those callbacks never happen. I've also left multiple voicemails without ever receiving the help I needed. I'm sure the in-store staff is wonderful, but since special orders have to be handled over the phone, the lack of communication and follow-through has made the experience incredibly frustrating. I hope they improve their customer service because it has been the biggest obstacle to doing business with them. We ended up ordering an item from a different vendor because we couldn't get anywhere with the online support staff.

We have used Richard Sumner Frames twice. The first time was great, although eye-wateringly…read moreexpensive. The second time was a horrendous experience. They can frame things beautifully and really elevate prints, paintings, and other artwork. We were really impressed with the matting, the backdrops, etc. for the first batch of frames. This earns them two stars instead of one. The second batch was two frames, roughly 24" x 30", and totaled $2084.00 which is an absurd sum for frames, at least if you ask me. However, we were really excited about these specific pieces and sort of got "suckered" into paying a premium because that's apparently what good framing costs these days . . although we'll soon be finding other sources to see if that's true. Regardless, here is the timeline of events: Oct 4: Art is dropped off, deposit paid Oct 22: Frames are ready. One frame has a visible chip in the wood, with missing material. It's about 3/8" long and 1/8" deep, clearly visible on the front of the frame where the corners meet. I notify the owner that I'm not happy with it and he agrees to fix it. I bring the first piece home. Oct 28: The second frame is ready. I go to pick it up and see that there is wood filler in the chip. The frame is wooden, with wood grain, and the wood filler is a solid color and immediately visible from the front. The wood filler is also soft to the touch. I once again notify the owner that I'm not happy with it. Nov 23: The second frame is ready, again. The wood filler has dried, he assures me. It still looks terrible. I make it clear that for $1,000 apiece, these had better look perfect. Even better would be having a perfect frame the first time! Or the second time! Or even the third time! He agrees to remake this frame, which is what he should have done in the first place. Dec 12: The second frame is ready, completely remade this time. It looks great. He charges me full price and I bite my tongue so that I don't say something I regret. I pay and leave to close this chapter as quickly as possible. I get home and hang the second piece next to the first and (to add insult to injury) I find that the wires are not the same height/tension and the pieces don't sit at the same height. What a joke! Overall, very disappointing customer service and standards - combined with extraordinary prices - means this business is not for me.

My artwork can be complex to frame, but Mahmut is an artisan in his own right.

As if that weren't enough, he's a pleasure to work with, and the only framer I trust.

I took it to three local shops, one of which is just south of Peabody, and could get no assistance or even advice about where to find some. I was about ready to throw in the towel and drive to SF (yuck) when I decided to give Peabody a shot. I called and told the fellow on the phone what I had, and he said to come in. I packed up my two antique frames that needed backs and drove down there. The woman who greeted me admitted that the job was going to be tricky because of the way the frames had been built, but she was willing to give it a shot. Two weeks later I went to pick up my frames with the new backs, which were perfect. At $68, the price was about half what I had expected to pay. Thank you, Peabody Fine Art Gallery! You have a loyal customer in me.

I really appreciate this small business and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a local service.
