I will be going back when I redecorate my kitchen and my bathroom.The store sells bathroom cabinets, flooring, kitchen cabinets and tiles. I was looking to replace my dated damaged laminate floors in my condo in June 2019. Patricia Forman helped me pick out some gorgeous luxury vinyl tile. She explained to me that this would be a good choice for me because I own a small puppy dog and it is considered a very low maintenance material that is water resistant!!!!! Basically the material looks just like wood but it is "commercial grade". They have commercial grade lvt which is more resistant to scratches than regular lvt that you see in other stores. This actually works very well for my lifestyle and is cost-effective and beautiful. Patricia provided me with some floor samples that I could take home and think about. Then in June I purchased the tile. She suggested an amazing team that came and completed the project to perfection in several days. I absolutely love my new floors!!!!!

This company deserves zero stars and I wouldn't recommend anyone use Porcelanosa for kitchen…read morecountertops. The whole experience and customer service have been atrocious. Especially for the cost ($16K) for kitchen countertops. The product isn't what they advertised (defective). I wish I would have known this information before I chose to go with this company. After many months of delay (4 months), the countertops were finally installed and one of the pieces was broken/cracked during the first installation. Although this product is advertised as being "indestructible" that is definitely not the case. So I had to wait two weeks for them to re-fabricate the piece. Leaving no accessible kitchen for 2 weeks. Then instead of fabricating the piece, they decided to cut corners and add a seam, which is very unsightly. Which was unauthorized and a breach of contract. The defective countertops also need brackets now because of this. Porcelanosa doesn't stand by their work and hasn't offered to repair or fix any of this either. The countertops also contained multiple scratches from installation and the use of a razor blade. The overall product does not look like the showroom quality that you see and I have attached pictures. The customer service by Porcelanosa has been slow to react, rude, and not acceptable for anyone to deal with. Especially for a company that states they are a luxury brand. This whole experience has been anything, but a luxury experience. It's been a disaster. I am still waiting on them to resolve this issue, but I am not holding my breath. I just don't want anyone else to suffer through the nightmare I have experienced.

But pull open the door to Materials Marketing, and let your eyes be amazed by some of the highest quality and most beautiful tile that is available in the city. From tile for floors, to mosaic floor designs, to an entire room devoted to stone fireplace surrounds, to custom designed back splashes for stoves and kitchens- you will not believe the quality or beauty of the stone at Materials Marketing. They are also able to creatively solve many of your home decorating challenges. Case in point. I had fallen in love with a Jerusalem marble stone at another retailer for my kitchen and family room floors. The only problem? The floors had actually been reclaimed from somewhere in Jerusalem, shipped to the states and were now being sold for a price close to Farouk's ransom! What's a girl to do? Materials Marketing to the rescue. They were able to source me a similar 5 piece pattern marble tile from Mexico- used a new process to make it look old and worn, and viola! I had the floor I wanted at a price I was willing to pay. Open to the trade only (you can go on your own to look but not to purchase) - go with your designer, your floor plan and your creativity. The designers on staff are great and they have recommendations on installers who are familiar with their products. Whenever I have a tile need- no matter how large or small- Materials Marketing is first on my list to call. After all- why not go with the best?

Our floors are amazing. The color consistency from board to board looks great. We have had no issues with any of the flooring despite being fairly hard on them (two dogs, three small kids) and have been living in the house for 2+ years now. They are holding up significantly better than friends who pain a lot more for their flooring. They made the process very simple too and were quite patient with my millions of questions. I wish I made the decision sooner as they are really amazing. Highly recommend to anyone building a new house or considering new floor options.

It's truly a high-end product, direct to the consumer. If you've looked in the typical places for hardwood options, you'll be blown away with the quality of what he offers. We opted for the 7.5" wide, French White Oak, in a beautiful grayish brown pre-finish stain. We're remodeling a loft condo in the West Loop and knew we needed something special to recover the entire loft's floors, to tie it all together. We had 6 different flooring surfaces throughout the home. For install, we decided to go with SLC, to eliminate some ridges and valleys, and a double-stick glue install, using 1/4" cork underlayment. We have to break up the install into 2 parts, first part looks great! Looking forward to seeing the completed project later this year!
