Good places to buy shower sets
I'm a big fan of buying things online, but I've given up with shower sets. The knobs and shower roses I get, but there are also lots of different thermostatic valves and flanges that I do not get.
So I have given up and want to know if anyone has a good recommendation for a bricks and mortar shop to help me. I'm looking for Rohl or Grohe and possibly Dornbracht.
Thanks!

Park Slope Plumbing on 5th Avenue between Prospect and 16th Street. 718 832 0400. They can get you anything and are very experienced, unlike most places I've found. Highly recommend them.

VEry high-end, very expensive. After I went there and learned what I wanted, I purchased from Ira Wood & Sons online for lots less.

I'd reccomend finding what you want and calling DecoWare (www.decow.com) for a quote. I've used them a couple of times and have been very pleasantly surprised. A bit brusque on the phone, maybe, but I saved a boatload of cash.
Their showroom is basically worthless; don't bother. But after you know waht you want give 'em a call.
