Description of Work: I had bids from Closets By Design as well as California Closets and a couple other major competitors. Ultimately, I went with Closets By Design for a few reasons: 1) flexibility of having both freestanding and hanging units 2) diligence of sales rep Erin in trying to visualize my space with me and work around some obstructions in my space (window, Hvac vent, w/d, etc). 3) nicer finish options on laminate Erin seemed like she was somewhat new to closet design (not new new but some things she was open about needing more ideas on what was possible). I appreciated she a) didn’t just try to fit a standard design in and b) always followed up and got back to me. I wish like California Closets that we transitioned more quickly into digital drawings to help better visualize and make changes easier; felt like we wasted about a week debating details that could’ve been solved more efficiently. Install went mostly great. I love that they didn’t have to remove my baseboards because they notched around and were careful about not running my paint (only one spot they scraped the wall). They cleaned up after themselves pretty well. They had a few missing pieces that they’ll come back and address. The only complaint I have on quality of product is I don’t love their drawer boxes and hinges. Their drawers on first blush are gorgeous...cedar bottom smells awesome, plywood sides (albeit thin). My complaint is that the boxes are staples and not dovetailed, and the glides are a bit wobbly. Gives that “cheap furniture” feel that I’m sure we’ve all experienced. The thing is, I asked about the construction at purchase time, and was told plywood dovetailed construction. They did tell me there were upgraded soft close glides, but assured me normal glides were fine just didn’t have the luxurious feel of soft close (which personally I don’t like in my kitchen cabinet drawers). Final note...price was fair but ignore their stupid 40% off marketing. But don’t ignore their “addl 15% off” promotions. If you show them that coupon it comes about about same cost as California Closets and everyone else.

Description of Work: Closets by Design designed and installed new closet inserts in all of our closets at our new townhouse. From their salespeople to the installers to the office personnel, they were all very accommodating and professional - and always on time.

Description of Work: Showed up two hours early without calling. Provided a design that did not meet my needs or requests. Did not give options. They didn't even follow up because I think they knew I was not pleased. I used them back in 2003 and loved them. Now a different company.

Response from Closets by Design Seattle
First of all we appreciate your concerns and apologize for any unhappy experience you may have had with our company. We are extremely Customer Service oriented and will do whatever it takes to make our customers happy. Since this is the first time I have received this complaint in over 24 years in the industry, perhaps you can added information and insight that will allow us to eliminate this from happening to other clients. Did you call the office or speak with a manager or owner about your concerns? If not, why not? Why did you wait until July to write your review when the alleged incident occurred the 2nd day of February. According to your statement "Showed up two hours early without calling." Our records show that Jonah arrived at your home at 10 AM, the time requested in your online request. Our records also show Robert called and confirmed with you in person or left a phone message on 1/27/2015 that the appointment was for 10 AM. What was the appointment time and what time did Jonah actually show up according to your recollection? "Provided a design that did not meet my needs or requests" The whole purpose of Jonah's visit was to take measurements, find out your wants and needs and draw up plans for your review and approval. What were your needs and/or request that Jonah failed to respond to? "Did not give options" What options would you like to have seen? My observation is that It seems strange that Jonah would not adjust the design to meet your needs and request since his commission depended upon your concurrence and written approval. Do you have any idea why Jonah or anyone for that matter would spend their time, energy, and gas money and sacrifice their commission by not catering to the needs and wishes of their client? Thank you for your answers to these questions and again we apologize for not meeting your needs and expectations. Please know we would never build or deliver any product that was not according to your request and your approval of designs and written contract. They didn't even follow up because I think they knew I was not pleased. Unfortunately, we do not earn every bid or proposal that we make, no one does! Thankfully, we receive enough work to keep us very busy and therefore we don't always have the time to respond back to those who choose to go with some other closet company. We hope you had good success with your project. You can respond personally to me at truman@cbd-seattle.com Best regards, Truman Jepson, Owner

Response from Closets by Design Seattle
As a previously independent Closet Company with no negative reviews over a 20 year period of time, I was greatly concerned about two negative reviews. As mentioned in the previous response, your review came not long after we became a franchisee of Closets By Design. We were inundated with leads, orders, hiring new designers, adding installers and shop people and getting the phone system tied into Corporate. We offer these not as excuses but as an explanation of what was happening at the time of your calls. We earn our living Designing, Manufacturing and Installing closets and would not knowingly not answer or return phone calls. Why the phones were unanswered is a mystery to me and I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. There isn't anything I can say at this stage of the game but to invite you to give us another chance now that we are up and running and have a years experience as a franchisee of Closets By Design. Being new to Angie's List, I failed to read and respond to your review and for that I am sorry. I can assure you that what you experienced is an exception to our rules as it is our greatest desire to work with our customer, make them happy and make them apart of the Closet By Design family. We are a family owned franchise and Customer Service is our greatest priority. As I mentioned, we have over 21 years of experience in the Greater Puget Sound Region. We are also members of the Master Builders Association of Pierce County and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Closets by Design came out and gave me an estimate. They had some great ideas. However, I chose to go a different direction because it was a little more than I wanted to spend for such a small closet. They were very responsive and did excellent follow up. If I was looking to do a larger space I would definitely have gone with Closets by Design, they have an excellent staff and company.
Description of Work: They came out to give an estimate for my closet ($1800).

Tracy our designer was very thorough and spent a lot of time with us coming up with a couple of designs we were very pleased with. Installers came the week after contracts were signed, were on time, and completed the job in under 4 hours. We are very pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Closets were built in our master walk-in closet and hallway closet, also used for clothing. Double hanging and shelving installed.

We are very happy with all aspects of their work. The designer was professional and did a great job with the space we had available. All aspects of the installation went well, from their on-time arrival to their clean-up at the end. We are very happy with our closet and would recommend this company.
