Forget the design services for a moment. I am considering ordering fixtures and bath faucets, shower, etc from them. Any feedback? I was offered a 25% discount–off list I assume, but I haven’t checked yet.
As one of the owners of MCKB, I would like to assure readers of this site that MCKB is NOT in the process of going out of business in any way, shape or form. We continue to provide the best in kitchen and bath design and feature incredible cabinetry and outstanding installations to our clients. We invite you to visit our 10,000 sq. ft showroom at 29 East 19th Street (Between Park and Broadway) to see all that we have to offer.
I used a kitchen guy in the Bronx. The name of the company is Designer Kitchen and Bath of New York. We have a rental apt and a triplex that is ours. Alec Cross designed both. For the apt, we used a Canadian company and paid a bit less than $5,000. For our kitchen we used plain and fancy. Alec’s price was considerably less than other plain and fancy dealers. Our main goal of the project was to match the new wood to our 100 yr old existing wood features. Alec worked hard to design matching crown molding and design the cabinet doors to an exact fit to the rest of the house.

We didn’t use MCKB for kitchen design, but did purchase our stove, fridge, dishwasher, hood and kitchen sink from them. Some of their prices were lower and others higher than other places — I think on the whole, it evens out. We purchased from them because they were so helpful in helping us figure out which items to purchase. They don’t seem to be given commissions by certain companies to push their brands, so they are objective. Also, they were very helpful with our contractor so that all the appliances fit in perfectly.
We are also using Park Slope Kitchens and have been working with Kenia. Weve done two kitchens with them. The first one was from the Medallion line and arrived all in one piece and on time. The second is Plain & Fancy and is scheduled to arrive in two week.
So far, we’ve been happy with them. It took us many months to hammer out the design (our delays, not theirs) and they were helpful and patient on each visit. Kenia can help you with the design quite a lot.
My one suggestion would be to get started as soon as possible. Cabinets take months to get made and delivered in addition to the time it takes to design and decide. The more time you have, the better.

These guys are in the process of going out of business – BEWARE of hiring them.
