He refinished the table and chairs a few years ago, and this year (2022) I asked him to refinish the buffet. I'm the third generation to enjoy this set, and I was hoping to leave it to my heirs--but it's not a set anymore! The buffet is MUCH darker than the table, and Scott has not taken responsibility. He has blamed the wood (they are made from the same wood) and bleaching from the sun (the table isn't in the sun), and his constant refrain is "I used the same stain." He should have noticed as he was working that the results were much darker than the original or at least that the exterior was much darker than the interior. Scott eventually said that he would have to strip it back down and redo it. I agreed and offered to send a table leaf for reference, but now he's not even responding to email. I'm afraid my next step is small claims court.

**** Update since original post****…read more I'm writing this update to reflect changes with Abodian since my initial review. While my experience was far from ideal, the company is now under new leadership and has shown a commitment to improving their practices. Though they couldn't resolve the issues we encountered, they did make genuine efforts to address the situation and engage constructively. If you're considering Abodian, it's worth noting their progress and their efforts to turn things around. Be sure to discuss expectations and project details thoroughly to help ensure a smooth experience.

Then, every day after that, they sent me another message, including the day of. Then, an hour before the appointment, they sent me another confirmation message. My wife and I drove to their location, and there was nobody there. I figured someone might show up at the exact time, so we waited. About 10 minutes later, I get a phone call from a rep from Abodian. They told me that the company was closed for Thanksgiving holiday. You must be kidding. It is 2024, and the technology is there to prevent this. 1. They should be using a scheduling service that allows blackout dates. 2. They should be sending the text or email notifications to not only the customer, but whomever is supposed to be taking the appointment. 3. They should be updating their hours of operation so that they are accurate on search engines. When I searched, they showed the location was open that day. Then, to top it off, they rep told me on the phone how the company was going to make it up to me and that I would get a call on Monday. Not only did I not get a call, but I have not heard one single word from Abodian since that Friday. Hands down, the worst experience I have ever had with a company. It is bad enough that you wasted my time, but no follow up after the fact. I strongly encourage anyone to look elsewhere if you are looking for cabinets.

I connected with Scott Whitmarsh of Seattle Style Flooring on a project with clients creating an custom outdoor BBQ and fire table with single piece counter tops. This project is in process, but I Scott has been a knowledgible and responsive resource for a complicated project. Meanwhile, my husband and I needed to replace the very tired carpet in our home. As our knowledge of carpeting was nil, Scott started us with an overview and primer, asking many questions about our home, lifestyle and priorities (small spaces, high traffic, 70 pound dog, quality, aesthetics, feel) so he could make the best product recommendations. Within a couple of hours we walked out with three sample boards, mulled them over in our home and made exactly the right selection. Three weeks later we have beautiful new carpet installed by Raoul and Jon, their in-house installation team who were a delight to work with. I am very particular about installation, both process and care for details. These are craftsman who are rightly proud of their work. Communication was excellent with both Scott and Raoul and his crew. Raoul was even very patient with me, explaining how to clean the carpet after our dog promptly walked with his muddy feet on the carpet that had been just finished 10 minutes before. Glad we selected for durability and an active household. And glad we selected Seattle Style Flooring!

After our floors were damaged by a flood, we chose Seattle Style Flooring/Andy's 5-star Flooring to…read morereplace our floors with LVP. Nearly 8 weeks after the initial faulty install, the company has evaded our persistent requests to correct the installation. Given the frustrating and exhausting experience of working with this company, I would never recommend them and would advise anyone interested in hiring them to steer clear. For those interested, here is a detailed account of our experience: - We scheduled the initial installation, and to our surprise, the installation crew called a week early to say they were on their way. We told them it was the wrong week and they could not come that day. - No one called us to apologize or reschedule. Instead, we made several calls and sent an email to our salesperson, Scott Whitmarsh, and the job was rescheduled to begin on the date originally agreed. - As for the installation, I will preface this by saying that Scott proudly sold us on the fact that this company hires craftsman to install floors, as compared to the inexperienced flooring installers that may be found at somewhere like Lowes. - The crew that came to install our floors were clearly inexperienced and unqualified to complete the job. While they managed to adequately lay the floors in the living and kitchen area, they neglected to level the subfloor at any point, which became an issue with the bedroom installation. The bedroom LVP floors have high and low spots that visibly bow when stepped on. The company has repeatedly evaded our requests to properly level the floors and redo the installation. We have persisted for nearly 8 weeks at this point to have the bedroom installation completed properly. - The crew also installed baseboards. Some of our original baseboards were damaged during the flooring removal and dry out process from the flood, so we needed the same type of baseboard installed where the old ones were missing. The baseboards were the wrong size, but the crew installed them nonetheless, never voicing to us while there that the boards were the wrong size. In fact, it turned out that they installed baseboards of two different sizes, which were both different from our original baseboards. - The baseboard joints showed very poor craftsmanship, with large gaps and joints that were poorly cut. See photos. - The quarter round installed at our front and balcony threshold were noticeably damaged during install. - Several of the baseboards were damaged during installation. - The baseboards in the bedroom closet were installed misaligned so that the closet doors no longer close properly. - The crew used silicone to caulk the baseboard joints, which is not a paintable surface. We discovered this when our painter came to paint our walls and pointed out where the paint would not adhere to the areas near the baseboards that were covered with silicone caulk. - After much complaining, it was agreed that a more experienced crew would come back to properly install the baseboards. - When the day came, the same crew arrived. - We called to say that was not acceptable, and later that day a different person came to perform and supervise the baseboard re-installation. - This more experienced person also trimmed some of the LVP boards in the bedroom to see if that would correct the bowing. It did not. - We continue to work with the company to correct the poor bedroom install. However, given all we've been through, we would advise anyone looking for new floors to shop elsewhere.

I am so happy with the work that Manning's did on our 6 dining chairs. Chairs look brand new! I…read moredid some research and it would cost me about $2k each to replace so I decided to get them reupholstered. I got quotes from various shops and Manning's was the most reasonable and affordable. Manning's is a family-owned shop; Sonja & Theron were so super sweet and easy to work with. Theron used a super firm HR50 foam to last long (the original ones were so thin, they flattened over time from the weight of heavy individuals). Theron was very flexible with fabric, he gave me the choice to choose from one of their samples or purchase my own elsewhere. Sonja sent me to the Design Center but I couldn't find anything fancy/old world. I needed something like Damask fabric for my elaborate chairs. I ended up purchasing from Ethan Allen. Once fabric arrived, scheduling was pretty quick and it took about 2 weeks for completion. My family said the chairs look FANTASTIC!! I highly recommend this shop, they are very professional and quotes are way better than anywhere else. I plan to take all my business to Manning's & Son.
