Selling my condo so had to update both kitchen, bath and separate vanity cabinets and countertops…read more I went to all the usual companies for quotes (Sanyuan, GS, A1, Pius etc) and made a crazy spreadsheet comparing them. 1st Ave came in second cheapest (GS was the cheapest). I decided to go with 1st Ave because they were very responsive on the phone and email, and they were able to do the work faster than GS. I also really liked that the people at 1st Ave weren't pushy like at they were at some of the other companies. They came though with all they promised to do - called me when they were on the way to the job site, installed everything so all cabinets and drawers lined up and worked flawlessly, cut the quartz offsite and came back to install countertops, and cleaned up after themselves. I have been recommending them to friends and neighbours, and I would most definitely use them again.

I unfortunately cannot recommend this group in any way, shape or form. They are disorganized,…read moredeceitful, unprofessional and incredibly difficult to work with. We ordered several pieces for a bathroom remodel over a month ago after an incredibly uninspiring visit to the show room where we felt like we were inconveniencing the staff by asking for help and guidance. We selected our elements and purchased them and were told it would be 3 to 5 weeks for some pieces to arrive which aligned with our renovation timeline. Now we are already past that time and we are told it will still be another three weeks for the final elements to arrive in their warehouse, let alone get to our home. I was forced to purchase some pieces elsewhere (which will be at my home less than 8 business days after ordering and now that I did so the delayed pieces havw mysteriously shipped incurring a 25 percent restocking fee. Bear in mind they will wont even arrive at their warehouse for two more weeks and I am expected to pay an additional delivery fee they never disclosed. If you are absolutely desperate to see an honestly small and unimpressive display of a few Kohler pieces by all means feel free to visit this shop but if you are interested in actually having the pieces arrive without a headache or delay, buy them somewhere else. If you have absolutely no other option then definitely work with anyone there except Kim Stranger and certainly take nothing she says as the truth. Look through the rest of the reviews here and other places, it's obvious that this is their default modus operandi and choose somewhere else.

To be fair, I didn't want to go to Ferguson today after our last experience 10 months or so ago -…read morebut I woke up and something changed my mind. We walked in and were immediately greeted by Shannon. We walked around the floor and were checked on quite frequently- all of the staff were very engaging and quite lovely actually. We had specific questions and Shannon actually called the manufacturer to check directly for us. The Manager Bud was quite funny and took the edge off of our intense conversation (between myself and my husband) rather humorously a time or two. There was one point Bud was giving a tour to three different parties showing us all where we needed to be. The transaction was seamless - which is a beautiful thing! My thoughts have changed on Ferguson Home on 1st. If you've gone before and weren't super impressed- try them again, it's worth the trip! Shannon, I think the standing desk at the front is a brilliant idea! You immediately made eye contact and had a warm smile. The last time we were there, we weren't acknowledged for a really long time. You and your "assistant" made our day today! Thank you so much - Tracy and Mitch

My husband and I stopped by Whisk for a cooking class on my birthday. We chose the Pollo a la Brasa…read morePeruvian Kitchen class and had a wonderful time. Chef Jen who was overseeing the course was informative and had a fun sense of humor as she walked us through the steps of preparing the whole chicken, assembling the salad, making the sauce, and cooking the rice. You are greeted with a drink before the class begins, and everything is prepared for you in advance. There are also kitchen assistants that assist with clean up and set up between major steps of the lesson. Once the major steps were done, we were given time to peruse the storefront and offered 20% off as we waited for the food to finish cooking and as the chef and kitchen assistants prepared the stations for dinner. The lessons aren't cheap, but I would do it again for the service, quality of the lesson, and the delicious food you get to eat afterwards. The owners are also very friendly and care about your experience. If you're looking for a fun activity to do with a friend, date, or family, I highly recommend giving the lessons here a try!

My visit here pretty much started off online, where my bestie and I decided to sign up for a…read moredumpling class and found this place. We were put on the waitlist after doing so but then got a text several days later saying two spots opened for us, so I snagged our seats as fast as I could. Really appreciate the staff on the other line for reaching out to me and "reserving" my spots unless I let them know I'm not interested! Getting here, there is the Meyden Garage that offers 3-hour free parking for customers of Whisk and other surrounding businesses though most spaces inside there did not have the signage saying that so it was confusing parking around there. Getting inside the building, you'll see what can only be described as a haven for chefs and aspiring cooks of all levels; you have cooking tools, pots and pans, cookbooks, plates, neatly folded cloth napkins and a bunch of other things strewn around in such a colorful and organized manner. The kitchen for our cooking class was clean and spacious, with all the ingredients we need prepped and set out in front of us. We worked in pairs prepping and cooking all our dishes throughout. Chef Thanh Tang was very informative and engaging throughout the whole process, and the other staff working with him were efficient in cleaning used utensils and keeping everyone's prepped items in check. Instructions were very clear, and directions flowed very well since we made one dumpling after another! Since both of us don't really cook and we had many questions to ask, it took us a bit to catch up with the rest of the class, but all the folding techniques became much easier to do thanks to our teacher. For this particular class, we pan-fried the shrimp and chive dumplings, while the wontons and steamed vegetable dumplings we prepped were steamed while we all took a break. As for the spicy green beans, I actually had the chance to stir-fry a non-spicy version of them in front of the class! All the food we made here was really good, and we came close to having to box some of it home too! Everything here was worth the $150 per person from the experience to the food, and I'd take another class here in the future! For reference, the class I took is called "More Dumplings, Dumpling?" and ran on a Saturday from 5:30-8:30pm though that's just a timeframe since I did stay slightly longer just to finish my food!

Connor was very helpful in selecting parts and setting up the project on their website (which I thought was excellent, in terms of finding parts and availability). Their prices are competitive if not superior to the big box hardware stores, and the service was more personalized. Items arrived at our home within a few days of ordering, and substantially faster than shipping for all the other suppliers for this project. Shipping was also free, unlike the other suppliers. It's best to make an appointment to come in, as the staff can get pretty busy at times. Highly recommended business.

Update after living with our selections for several months…read more.. I wanted to come back and update my review now that we've been using everything for a while. I'm even happier with our choices today than when we first installed them. Kiersten at Chown Hardware in Bellevue was incredibly patient throughout the selection process. She knows the products, listened to what we wanted, and never pushed us toward the most expensive option. Instead, she recommended thoughtful upgrades only when they truly made sense for our project, and every one of those recommendations has proven to be worth it. You also can't know everything about every single item available. If there was something she needed to do deeper divan, she would let us know and do that we could really trust her. The showroom has an excellent selection, but it's the knowledgeable, honest guidance that really sets Chown apart. Months later, everything is working beautifully, looks fantastic, and we're so glad we trusted Kiersten's expertise. Great products. Great service. Great long-term results. Kiersten is a superstar!

Thank you, Sanja, for your excellent customer service and for making what could have been a frustrating experience so easy!

Worked out perfectly since we were already walking around the area. They had SO much fun seasonal stuff out. This location always seems to have one of the best selections and the most stock compared to others I've been to. It was definitely a little tricky to navigate some areas because there were large carts of merchandise out, but like any HomeGoods... with some patience and a willingness to dig around a little, you never know what you'll find! Although some sections were so packed with stuff that I was scared to move anything because I felt like one wrong move would bring everything down... Parking aside, this is definitely one of the HomeGoods locations I like coming back to!
