Cabinet Order A Nightmare
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA -- I went to Lowe's on October 31st 2018 and ordered $14,000 worth of kitchen cabinets. I thought everything was fine but I found out that the Diamond Cabinet company faxed a request (question) to my Lowe's kitchen designer. She said she never received it and Diamond I guess did not follow up. My cabinets did not get ordered until November 30th. It is January 6th and I still do not have cabinets. I was told 2 days ago that it won't be until January 17 for the release to the delivering company and I probably won't get my cabinets until the 22nd of January.

This has really put us in a bind. We can't even order the countertop until the cabinets are installed and there is a 2 week (at least) lead time for those. I was loyal to Lowe's before but they have not even done anything to apologize or rectify anything. Diamond Cabinets has not shown any empathy whatsoever. I haven't even seen the cabinets yet so I can't review those until I receive them. Stay tuned.

Kitchen Resurfacing, Plus Custom Cabinets!

SEVIERVILLE, TENNESSEE -- Took a week longer than expected but that was not a problem! Our kitchen looked beautiful when finished, for a while! First, we were talked into the automatic door & drawer closures! We really did not want them but we're told there was no extra cost! So we got them! They stopped working after about 8 months both doors & drawers! We also did not want the tiny pull down drawers that are in front of the sink & range top! We got them anyway & they are crooked & don't close all the way! The cabinet doors that are double hit each other when closing! That started after a year!

The man that did the garnet countertops was a nightmare! Plus very rude! We had a house full of work going on but he refused to do the work if anyone else was in the house! He also would not give us the slabs of garnet that he cut out for the sink & range top! I thought we could use them since we paid for the piece of garnet but he refused! The custom cabinets we had made were beautiful but again the automatic drawers & doors stopped working & the doors bang together! Plus as nice as that guy was he had a potty mouth that would not stop because he was having problems installing the cabinets! That was outrageous to say the least & I learned new words!

Last but not least or I should say the worst... all the vinyl overlays on our cabinets looked great for about a year! Now at every single seam, the adhesive that was used to attach these vinyl pieces to all the cabinets is seeping out all over the outside of the cabinets! It's an amber color that won't come off so our bright white cabinets look filthy on all the corners, around all the door openings & drawer openings! All in all we did get a good deal & the kitchen does look good but the oozing glue really spoils it! Believe me, we won't use Lowe's for any kind of remodeling again!

The Worse Experience with Lowe's and Their Contractors Ever
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

RINCON, GEORGIA -- We entered into a contract on 2/2/18 with Lowe's in Rincon, GA for cabinet and countertop upgrades. We were told that the process would take 8-10 weeks. We took a $1000 loss to have flooring tile removed only to later find out that it was part of Lowe's contractor demolition. We've had debris and excess cabinets that were replaced due to delivery damages sitting in our garage for 5 months.

Today is 9/2/18 and we have had the worst experience with Lowe's Corporate and the contractors hired to perform the services. After delays with the arrival of cabinets, the contractor began the kitchen upgrade in early May. Since that time, Gravitas Services of Richmond Hill, GA failed to properly install electrical light wiring, lost the mounts for our microwave and didn't install for 4 months. The backsplash work looks as though someone took a class at Home Depot and came to our home to practice. They used a dull blade on the glass tile which caused the edges to chip and the tile is crooked and not evenly flush.

The granite counter top was damaged by MultiStone during installation as well as had appearances of rust in the stone. After 3 trips to our home and sanding by MultiStone and a Lowe's Field Representative to verify the terrible work by the contractors, we are no longer getting calls from Lowe's Corporate or any contractors to give us a date when they are coming out to replace our countertops.

Lowe's has left us in the middle of a contract knowing that the work is incomplete. There's no way to contact anyone above the Corporate Installation team. You continually get the same people who consider it a badge of honor to frustrate the customer because they know that calls will reroute to them.

Months ago, the team would periodically call or email as a useless courtesy to ask if our project was finished and tell you that our contractor is our point of contact for complaints. There's no way that it should take nearly 8 months for cabinet upgrades in a small kitchen. Lowe's continually moves managers and associates around; therefore, you will get a new experience trying to repeatedly address your concerns. As far as contractors in this area: I've never had a service performed professionally, on time, or without extensive delays and terrible workmanship.

Lowe's has trapped us into a contract that we paid for up front and left us to fend for ourselves with these terrible contractors that they provided to do a job. This is a program that Lowe's should have never attempted by trying to take work from the local businesses and continue to overwhelm the same contractors with work. They are so far behind and work will cease at Thanksgiving because that's typical for this area.

We don't expect to get any further help from Lowe's. Gravitas is working in concert with MultiStone by reporting to BJ of Lowe's Regional. They won't redo our backsplash until Multistone replaces our countertop. Both contractors are stalling to harass us because of our complaints. We will spend the costs for legal action rather than sit here living out of boxes. I can just take a class at Home Depot to install a backsplash because this is the type of work that Dean from Gravitas left us. He and Lowe's will just move on to the next unsuspecting victims.

Terrible Schuler Cabinets

Rating: 2/51

CHANDLER, ARIZONA -- We have Schuler in our kitchen and Kraftmaid in our bathrooms. I do NOT recommend Schuler cabinets. We spent a lot of money on the cherry wood and they look beautiful when installed but after just a few years, the finish doesn't hold up. The finish has completely worn off all over the place but mainly around the handles and near the floor. Meanwhile, the cheaper Kraftmaid cabinets are in perfect condition... they look as good as the day we installed them. I regret getting Schuler... I thought I did my homework and that I would love them but what a disaster.

To Schuler's credit, they contacted me when they saw the horrific cabinet photos I posted to their Facebook page and they replaced some of the worst worn-out fronts and gave me a touch up kit but neither solution has last long... the replacements are already showing their wear. I expected more from expensive cabinets.

Unbelievable Kitchen Cabinet Job at Lowe's. You've Got to See This!

CANTON, MICHIGAN -- Lowe's is HORRIBLE. We ordered and paid in full for custom kitchen cabinets from Lowe's 180 days ago. They still aren't done. Installers have ruined cabinets that needed re-ordered, broken 2 appliances in the process and left our house a disaster. From the Lowe's side, they drop the ball at every opportunity and will sell you on a process that you won't get.

Worst Experience Ever

SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO -- Ordered over $15,000 worth of cabinets prepaid. The cabinets color on the cabinets is orange or sienna glaze. They refuse to make them right. Also two cabinets were busted. Took another 8 weeks to receive the cabinets. Still 16 weeks later the kitchen is incomplete will not deal with them again. They would not compensate for anything for the dissatisfaction. Buyer beware.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation

Rating: 3/51

ASHTABULA, OHIO -- We started our kitchen renovation in September 2017. The plan was do everything ourselves, but our schedules would make it too difficult. We chose Lowe's without checking any reviews online. The cabinet sales guy talked us into hiring Lowe's to hang our cabinets and replace the kitchen window above the sink. We were told how wonderful this guy is and that he has been doing this for 14 years without one complaint. We have complained several times about this installer.

I guess we're the first, right? I doubt it. It started with the window being installed 5/8" to the right of where it was supposed to be which started a cascade of problems and lies. We ordered Kraftmaid cabinets which took forever to get and had many manufacturing defects. They were supposed to be top-notch. It turns out Kraftmaid's great success has come at a cost. They can no longer achieve the quality they once had due to the massive world-wide orders.

Our wonderful cabinet sales guy from Lowe's only ordered four replacement doors. We waited for almost a month to get them and they're worse than the originals. There is paint missing and paint over contamination and sanding dust. They clearly don't care and would just like us to accept them and go away. We just waited another two weeks and haven't heard anything so I contacted them only to find out they have done NOTHING again. I don't know what they're doing. They informed us that we now have a new project coordinator.

That make #4 since September. Lowe's has no answer as to why they change coordinators so much. I will not be hiring Lowe's to do anything in the near future which probably pleases them since they are probably tired of hearing from me. Get it together Lowe's or you won't have any customers. There are many more issues, but not enough room to fit them all here.

Everything you read about Lowe's is true. They take forever to do anything and lie about it when it's wrong. All that money I spent should have guaranteed that Lowe's would be on my side when Kraftmaid sent me defective cabinets with shoddy workmanship, but no, they side with Kraftmaid. They have no intention of helping me get good quality cabinets.

Waiting Forever for Kitchen Cabinets

TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI -- The Lowe's associate in the kitchen cabinets section was amazing. He planned out a wonderful kitchen and has been super helpful. They were having a sale and we thought it was a great deal. We had mold behind our kitchen sink and we were originally told that our cabinets would arrive at Lowe's on January 24th. We did our own demolition and our own mold cleanup ourselves. Our portion of the work was completed on January 25th because we were told our cabinets would arrive several days after they got to Lowe's.

Lowe's has a person who is supposed to coordinate the job between the contractor, the delivery of the cabinets and the granite people. She has called us several times to find out what we knew about the job and when people were coming. Clearly, she has no idea what her job is.

The cabinets were delivered last week and there were so many boxes that they had to put them in our garage. They've been there ever since. Meanwhile, we've been without a kitchen for almost 3 weeks while the stooges at Lowe's try to coordinate the job.

I called tonight to complain and got lectured by the contractor that it takes a long time and that he has some other customers who have been without a kitchen since December. I'm pretty sure those people are impressed with the service at Lowe's, as well. Moral of the story - don't use Lowe's for a home project. There is a reason why they are having a sale and it's significantly cheaper than actual companies who strive for actual customer satisfaction.

Took Three Months for One Month Job

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- The “designer” took it upon themselves to make a decision that took three months to correct. They ordered a cabinet for the corner sink. It had a single door and was so small only child would've been able to connect the plumbing that was under the sink with that cabinet. Ok no big thing, just order a new corner cabinet. What only took 2 weeks for a whole set of kitchen cabinets, took 3 months for one. When they were finally done with the job it look like an amateur put that kitchen together. I suggest you go someplace else or do the job yourself.

SILVERTHORNE, COLORADO -- Ordered Prelude Diamond cabinets. They delivered me 2nds. Much damage. They never disputed my claim just will not make it right. In the meantime I am without a kitchen. Ordered cabinets on November 1. It's now pushing February! Customer service is lower than any cable company I have worked with! LOWE'S needs to change their name to LOW LIFES. Just add the "LIF".
