From start to finish the workmanship was shockingly poor and the attention to detail just wasn't there. The kitchen cabinets are visibly uneven, and you can see it the moment you walk into the room. The doors are crooked, some don't line up with each other, and a few don't even close properly. It looks like everything was thrown together in a rush with no care for basic level or alignment. When I raised these issues, I did not feel taken seriously, and there was no real effort to make things right. For the amount of money spent, this result is completely unacceptable. I would strongly advise anyone considering Spectrum Kitchen to look elsewhere if you care at all about quality and professionalism.

The showroom was dismal and lacking displays, the sales rep didn't know the stock or functions well, items took months to arrive and some were broken, other were missing parts, they sold us a toilet seat (sight unseen because they lacked a floor model) and refused to allow us to return it even though it was unused,... All in all, I will never return and I highly recommend that you find another company because this one sucks!

Grace in the Kitchen is a kitchenware and gourmet foods store in Kanata…read more I went in in search of some scones because I was served some of their scones at my in-laws and they were delicious, but I went on a Friday and was told they only have them on the weekends :( I browsed around and they have lots of cool products, but they are pricey. They do have a clearance section towards the back of the store, but most of the stuff there was actually past its best before date. If you love gourmet stinky cheeses, they had lots! As for me, I'll just stick to brie, harvati and other benign to the nose cheeses thank you very much ;) Fun store to poke around. Lots of free parking.

This place is awesome! I have never been in before, although my husband was in over the holidays…read more(lucky me was the recipient!) What an awesome shop! And HUGE!! They have everything an upscale kitchen could need - from the tools to the groceries, including (but not limited to) spices - right down the pepper and salt mills, cheeses, chips, dishes, pots and pans, and top end coffee makers. I will definitely be back to try out the coffee shop in the corner. You need the rest that refreshes (coffee) after a stroll through this shop. What was I waiting for?? They had some very good sales - leftovers from Christmas. I picked up a mug for myself (which had the design of a scarf and mittens. What can I say? I'm a knitter!) and one of those stoneware cookie molds which came with a recipe. This was on sale at a good price; I've seen it at double that elsewhere in the city. Did you know that there's a difference in the mechanisms of a pepper and salt mills? Apparently the salt can rust and corrode a pepper mill, and the pepper is too hard for a salt mill. Whodathunk?! I actually went in looking for coffee pots. The ones we have at work have been seriously used and abused. I'm also feeling the need for an espresso or latté machine, and was hoping I might find one of those nifty combo things here. Turns out that the design I'm thinking of is a bit passé. Too bad for me! However, the good coffee makers they have here are too good for work (read: expensive), and could almost be professional, like for coffee shops. So, I will have to keep shopping. Yum. I've just gotta say this place was very inspiring!!

First of all, this location has only been open for…read moreabout a month, and it's next door, or nearly next door to the "Bed Bath and Beyond" which sells very similar stuff. That's a bit odd, but you get to do your comparison shopping all in one location! Jeff S wrote a great and very informative review about the Orleans location of Jysk (thanks Jeff!) However, I do have to say that although he compares this store chain to Ikea, I am not a fan of Ikea, as I don't like the feeling of being herded through the store like so much cattle or sheep. You know the feeling: you can't walk in the door and march straight to the section you're looking for without following the sidewalk past a zillion other things before finding the item(s) you're looking for! This store is much like that, but a bit better. Ikea would have scored less than a 3-star from me. Sorry to you Ikea fans!! But this is just me... We wandered through the store just to see what they had to offer, and overall, I have to say that I was fairly impressed! First of all, we've been looking in all the local hardware stores for mirrors for 2 places in our house, and this place won out over everyone else, hands down! Not only did they have the exact size we were looking for (which I admit is a bit unusual) but these mirrors were also a fabulous price! We got these items for a fraction of the price the hardware stores were asking. LOVE IT!! I will come back occasionally to have a poke about.

I had a high-quality bathroom vanity with granite top installed several years ago, service was excellent and the work remains flawless. The showroom has a lot of nice setups and parts on display. Just this summer I did the full kitchen reno which took 14 days. The designer was knowledgeable and worked with me to accommodate my needs, various design tweaks and budgetary constraints. You can buy parts from their store or supply some yourself. Fees were reasonable, contractors were very polite and efficient.

The shower diverter, which cost $94 plus tax/labour, broke in just over 3 years. As a temporary measure, a cheap one ($30) installed on the wrong side of shower head for which I paid the labour of $113. With covid, gave them lots of time only to be told no replacement diverter for the correct side of shower head could be found. Wondered if owner knew what was going on, so mailed a letter to be opened by him only. No acknowledgement received after well over a month. So am left with a hand shower costing $265, a $94 diverter that broke, plus labour costs, which is not safe to use as installed on wrong side of shower head. I do prefer to give my business to local companies, but now it's sadly 'BUYER BEWARE'.

From here, my staples are: Hand sanitizers (best ever) Foaming hand soap for kitchen and bath Candles, when on sale, 3 wick Occasionally, coconut body spray as one bottle lasts forever. I like the sink in there if you want to try something. Prices can be up there but it is quality stuff. (Grab a coupon at the cash for next purchase) Seasons are recognized here and the labels are always changing for variety. It's a fun, feel good place that smells great and the music is good too. They are often busy and the line can be long but goes quick enough. I just try to avoid peak times/holidays.

Thanks to Jennifer Curry , a seasoned designer and professional I could not be happier. Jennifer's product knowledge and sense of design made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. From start to finish Jennifer followed up with me through each phase of the project. When the delivery of my kitchen sink was delayed, her dedication to customer service kicked into full gear and resolved to issue very quickly. I really appreciated that. I want to give a shout out to the TGi team who made this project come together. Each and everyone involved was professional and brought their " A" game . A shout out to Steph who templated the job. He is a mathematician genius. The installers , Mohammed , Damien, Malek and Nath. Bashir, Felipe and his assistant. There is one other installer whose name I didn't catch. I don't want to leave him out. And to Diego, thank you for picking up your phone when I called to get an up date. I truly appreciated it.

I'm glad I took a picture of this place so at least I have proof that the place exists. Outside of its inability to be found in any Google search that I've tried, once you step into @Home, you're in for a decent time. @Home is a kitchenware store with a large assortment of different items that you can use in the kitchen or dining area. The items range from the strictly utilitarian (e.g., spring form pans - nothing fancy there) to the imaginative (e.g., elegantly shaped wine decanters). If you're looking for some interesting décor add-ons for your kitchen, or looking for something to theme your next party, this is probably a good place to start. It's not just the variety, but the quantity of items that is also overwhelming. There's tons of stuff that you can go through and, if you're so inclined, it's pretty easy to kill a half an hour in this little shop. Add to this it is an independent store and not a larger chain, so if you're into helping out the smaller business, this is a great store for you. Just don't try to Google your way there. Just get to Earl Grey Drive and look for the place in the picture.
