"NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY A DEPOSIT!!!

Initial estimate: $16,000
Add legs and skirt to the island: $17,200 ... really?
Replace three pullout drawers with a hole for a microwave and a trash bin: $18,000 ... really?? We moved up???
Okay, get rid of the skirt and legs - I'll get them myself, and also instead of painting the island, stain it, which is cheaper: $17,500 ... Wait a second - we went up probably $1,500 when we added these items, and now you'll knock off $500 if we take them out? REALLY?????????????

When I explained that the math just didn't make sense to me, he stated, "That's what it costs. I guess we can't do business." What's it matter to him, as long as there's a sucker born every minute.

Why else would a company have to operate under so many names: kitchenplace.com , cabinetsdelivered.com , Absolute Kitchen & Bath Marketplace , SmartCraft , Fashionable Enclosures, etc.

FYI, I never gave him a deposit, and thank goodness I didn't.

LOOK FOR TRANSPARENCY!!!"
