I renovated my main bathroom with mostly serenity bath products, which are very beautiful and high…read morequality pieces. After the vanity was delivered I realized the drawers were not what I requested as they should have came with a metal sliding insert which should have been a easy fix. I called many times and even went into the store to have this remedied but never received an answer. Even if they would've apologized and couldn't fix it i would accept it but it seemed as though they wanted me to just forget about it and push my questions off to other people. When I purchase from high end stores I usually expect the customer service to be high end as well.

When choosing fixtures for our bathroom renovations Rob was very patient with us. He made us feel…read morecomfortable as we climbed in and out of tubs testing the depth and length. He was not phased as we tested the heights of different toilets. In the end we are very happy with our choices. Beautiful items!

My mom and brother had raved about Kitchen Boutique. Being this a rare family occurrence I knew I…read morehad to check it out. A few doors down from MacKay's is this compact and funky little kitchen store. I say compact because it's wall to wall with everything you've ever thought of needing for your kitchen, a probably a few you haven't. Wine and beer glasses from Riedel, Bohemia and Waterford, knives from Wusthof and Henckel, ceramics and cast iron from Le Creuset and Emile Henry and cookbooks from Julia Child, Best of Bridge and some obvious quirky titles (Recipes for the Modern Wife, Cooking with Booze) as well as tea and coffee machines from Bodum and Krups. Where Kitchen Boutique really shines is it's interesting gadgets and colours. Animal themes are in full force, window herb gardens, oils, vinegars, dips, rubs, even the muffin tins have themes. And if you're bored of stainless steel everything, I'm pretty sure I saw every usual kitchen gadget or utensil in at least 6 colours. Last, they have kitchen packages for every taste and budget. You'll need at least an hour in Kitchen Boutique, but with good reason. Besides, if you already made The drive to Cochrane, you have the time.

And the next thing you notice is how long the store is and how well organized it is! You could probably spend an hour in here, and still not see everything. There's a great baking and decorating cake section, wine decanters and glasses, food, aprons, gifts, dishware... And I could go on and on. This is a happy place both for you if you like to cook/bake/entertain, as well as a great place for gifts in all price ranges! We bought some dinosaur cookie cutters for our nephew and can't wait to get them to him! We will definitely stop here the next time we are in Cochrane!

We were there for 15-20 minutes without one other person even speaking a word to us none the less asking if we could use any assistance. When we left three staff members were chatting and looking at something funny on the computer. Do yourself a favour and go down the street to the other lighting store. They were ready to help and have much more reasonable prices.

After running through the list of people we know in this now ghost town. I find out that Royal Flush is actually a family run business with over 30 years of experience. Royal Flush features imported bathroom fixtures and accessories that are way off the map. According to the owner, Calgarians travel a lot and they want what they have seen in other countries. Royal Flush is a huge impressive showroom of some of the most beautiful sinks and bathroom hardware I have ever seen. Just check out my photos. Owners are lovely, incredibly personable, and humorous. A relative of their family is actually the mayor of Battleford, Saskatchewan and with the influence of RB, he has the small town into conserving water and using environmentally friendly plumbing. This store is grand, 1970s architecture, with huge windows boasting well presented tubs and sinks. Drive by and enjoy the impressive window displays or better yet pop inside. The prices are up there but then again you are paying for the highest quality and craftsmanship for these prices. Be assured though that hands down with Royal Flush everyone's a winner.

Mark's professionalism and customer service is head and shoulders above all others. We found him to have comprehensive and wide ranging experience in renovations and specialty work. From our base ideas, he was able to provide suggestions and photos from previous projects so we were able to better visualize the end result. He was attentive to detail and kept us knowledgeable on exactly what to expect at each step in the process, thereby ensuring that everything proceeded predictably and smoothly. All work was completed on time and within budget. We found his crew to be personable, courteous, and they kept the house very clean throughout the whole renovation. The house looked fantastic and was 100% ready for us on move in day, as promised. This is why we give a 5 star endorsement and thank Mark and his team for their high quality work.

You send an email and wait for them to get back to you, and when they do, there is no help from a technician. Seems like just a person in the office parroting advice from the manual (which is also useless, and clearly written by AI, or someone who doesn't speak English very well). My only option now, with a $2000.00 machine, less than 2 years old, is to mail it across country (at least $200.00 considering size and weight), for a repair that I'm told will start at $300.00.
