Garfield Place Kitchen/Bath
Has anyone used the Kitchen/Bath place at the corner of Garfield and 5th Avenue? They have changed names several times, but I am not sure if ownership has changed.

STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE.
I ordered some supplies at first, which were received. So, I placed a larger order and have never gotten my items nor a refund. I have a letter from them stating that if they are not received by a certain date, I will get a refund — that was 2 months ago. No items and no refund to-date. The only response is to put everything off or somehow indicate I should go away since I got the first order. Now, no calls back. This has been going on for six months so I have no choice but to sue and waste my time and money. I am also reading very similar chain of events on other blogs recently. I was promised delivery about 10 times and a refund 5 times before they decided to blow this off. Now I have no other alternative but to sue to get my deposit back (which is not small). I do not want to see anyone else go through this. The lies and what now amounts to stealing mean this place does not deserve to be in business. I guess they will change their name again buts stay away please.
Garfeild Kitchen and Bath have a nice variety of cabinet hardware downstairs to view on simply laid out display boards. I choose a contemporary look and ordered my hardware after giving a deposit. My hardware arrived within a reasonable amount of time and was installed by my contractor with no problems. They produced exactly what I ordered, on time and in perfect condition. I am very happy with the results. I have since been back to price out cabinets and counters, for another project I am working on, and I find the service exemplary. I will post on this website after my kitchen is complete to let you know how this experience goes. I would recommend them.
Just recently experienced the horror and crap at Brooklyn Kitchen and Baths, formerly Garfield Kitchen and Baths. The rude guy bought out the other partner and now owns it all. He will say or do anything to get your money. He will make guilt producing martyred phone calls and pressure you. I had looked for something on line about them and for some reason didn’t see anything. I decided not to do business with him based on my gut reaction. Now that I’ve seen all the comments… I am so happy I didn’t give him a penny.
Avoid “Garfield” “Brooklyn” or whatever they’re calling themselves this week. I never got straight answers from them. people I know who used them got: 1: wrong cabinets delivered (another 6 wks for the right ones to arrive); 2: wrong sized granit slab; 3: sink placed far from plumbing lines. Park Slope Kitchen Gallery was also rude, lost my paperwork (high turnover of employees, it seems). I got great service & price from Gold & Reiss in Bay Ridge, ask for Thea. You will have to find your own contractor to install, however.
wow, i thought it was me! I called them when i was going to redo my kitchen and bathroom and the guys I spoke with was short and “angry” on the phone. never went there, never called back. can’t imagine them surviving too much longer unless they are fronting a different busines!!! hmmmmmmmmmm
The man we talked to at Garfield Kitchen & Bath was so unpleasant and unwelcoming, we chose to go elsewhere simply based on his attitude. Big turnoff. Later on I read all the negative posts on Forum about the place, and many others had the same experience walking in there. We happend to be serious about installing a new kitchen, but even if we weren’t, they should welcome people gladly. One would think a business owner would be smart enough to know plenty of business begins with someone simply walking in off the street, curious about a place. Hello. If that first impression is bad, that person will not come back later on. I also learned later that Garfield charges a few thousand dollars more to order the same cabinet lines, as other kitchen places. So then I was extra glad I didn’t go with them.
This board has very negative comments on Garfield. Do a search and you will find them.
Try Park Slope Kitchen Gallery on Prospect Avenue (near 5th ave) in South Slope. Kenya or Bob. We used them. They don’t have in-house installation (or a website, and information doesn’t have their number!) so you have to get your own installer separately, but they give the best prices for cabinets and are very nice people. They carry Plain & Fancy, Medallion and a couple others. 233 Prospect Ave at 5th Ave 718.832.0002
they completely suck. avoid at all costs!
