Cabinets & Beyond Design Studio

Our kitchen used to look like that 70’s show before we had some help. We tried an interior designer and hoped to have them design what we wanted, but it seemed like they had their own ideas, which I didn’t like. We actually visited this showroom based off a recommendation from a family friend who had their kitchen redone by Tanya and her designers about 3 years ago. I personally didn’t know what to expect, but I do trust in my friends opinion and their kitchen does look like a modern oasis compared to ours. The showroom itself isn’t humongous, but the options and mountains of samples and books that they have, there was no way I couldn’t find what I wanted.
From smooth closing cabinets to the right space steel colored handles and a futuristic look that would be worthy of the Jetsons, we were able to pick out exactly what «WE» wanted, of course with the help of Heidi and Tanya. I truly do recommend visiting these ladies, their really easy to work with and don’t have their own agenda, rather they are all for what you want.
Thanks again for all your help.
P.S: Jack if you read this review thank you for the recommendation.

We had a great experience working with Tanya and Heidi during the remodel of our outdated kitchen. We had many custom requests, but the cabinet company that Cabinets and Beyond worked with — Crystal cabinetry — specialized in creating custom solutions, and they were able to help make our dream kitchen become reality. For example, we wanted a white kitchen but we wanted our cabinet doors to have some wood texture — Crystal was able to create the door using an oak veneer with satin white paint. They were also able to create a curved cabinet to use at the edge of the kitchen for a more streamlined look.
Tanya and Heidi were very knowledgeable and made the whole process from the kitchen design, to the delivery, to the communication with our contractor, very smooth. Emails and telephone calls were answered promptly. Everything was measured precisely and the cabinets fit into the space perfectly. There were some problems along the way, which is bound to happen in every construction project, but it was handled professionally by the staff at Cabinets and Beyond.
We enjoyed working with Cabinets and Beyond and would recommend them to anyone remodeling their kitchen. Our kitchen looks very beautiful!

First I’d like to start by say it is very hard to impress me to the point to write a review; That being said, I’d like to formally thank Tanya and her design team for a professional, and in many ways surprisingly a really fun experience. I’m not really about design (Unless were talking about Finance and Analytics — I wont dread you with it), but the experience and knowledge that Tanya was able to provide in our project was outstanding. We purchased our home in Milbrae about 2 years ago and never really got around to the most important part of the home «THE KITCHEN».
I praise this lady for listening to my list of demands (It was long), from frame-​less cabinets to the perfect color counters and everything in between, this remodel was more for me, though my counterpart will argue otherwise. The cambria counter tops that we picked out matched perfectly to the Italian style I was hoping for with a more modern feel, and they’ve last well beyond their worth in change.
Thank you so much for bearing with me and my wife, we truly appreciate everything you and your design team helped us with. I’ll be seeing you soon for our next order of business.

We are in the middle of a remodel and this was one of the most helpful places we’ve been so far in terms of being able to see a wide range of cabinet styles & finishes. Many, many samples from a variety of brands. The sales people were extremely helpful and informative without being high-​pressure or pushy. We will probably go back to look around more.

Had a great experience all around working with C&B Design and salesperson Alfonso. Alfonso REALLY cares about his customers and wanting to make them happy — giving you what you want and need without trying to up sell or convince you to go outside your comfort zone. He was pretty new to the company when we started working on our kitchen design, but he hit the ground running and was very attentive to our needs. We were not his biggest client in terms of dollars, but he really cared about our outcome. The kitchen looks beautiful in part because of Alfonso’s attention to detail, time he took with us, and sensitivity to our budget. I found the pricing at C&B to be reasonable for the product they offer (cabinets are expensive!). You will certainly pay more than IKEA for your cabinets, but the quality is there and they stand behind their products.

All our friends love our kitchen and always ask who did it. That made me realize I was late in writing this review. Two years ago we had to do the complete remodeling of our house and decided to use Cabinets and Beyond after evaluating several different shops. It was a hard decision for us because so many choices, but Tanya, the owner made the decision easy. She showed us around the beautiful showroom, explained all available choices and the approach to the whole process. She Helped us with the beautiful design. What can I say, she exceeded all of our expectations. High quality, on time, professional to a fault and the guys that installed the cabinets where highly skilled professionals. Price was at least fair if not better AND no last minute extra charges including modifications made after the fact such as when we decided the pantry needed an extra drawer or a panel needed to be fit different no change in price. We give this company and all of the team our highest rating.
Ina and Alex, Foster City, CA. Highly satisfied customers.

I have worked with Tanya professionally over the last 5 years. Tanya has always been professional, helpful, & does her best to meet clients needs and reasonable expectations. Her work is thorough, and she employs smart & knowledgeable staff to help assist her in achieving desired results for her clients.

We did our kitchen remodeling with this company 7 years ago and recently came back to them to do our master bathroom. We worked with Dan and Tanya and this team was able to take my dream bathroom idea and make it come true. I was first hesitant about couple design suggestions, but I’m so glad we did what Tanya suggested. It turned out to be more useful and saved us some cabinetry and labor cost. The cabinets came on time and when I called Dan about one door being scratched, the rep. came to our house the same day. The new door was re-​ordered with no questions asked. Now, when all is done, we can enjoy the new bathroom. I’m not a big fan of remodeling, but looking back, it was a very pleasant experience with these guys. Very professional and great customer service!

Cabinets and Beyond did a complete kitchen remodel in our San Francisco condo. Tanya at Cabinets and Beyond was great! She spent many hours helping us put together our kitchen. Tanya also explained how frameless construction would give so much more space in our cabinets. She suggested a slight modifications that helped us to stay in our budget, but would also made the kitchen layout a lot more efficient. There are lots of options to choose from and her design expertise was phenomenal. She provides a very personalized, honest service and really outstanding Omega Full Access cabinets. For one of our visits we came in without an appointment. Tanya was out of the office at the time, and Heidi was able to help us with the countertop and decorative hardware selection. I can’t recommend Cabinets and Beyond highly enough. They were the nicest people, easy to communicate with, and very easy to work with. We started with 3 bids on our kitchen project from other dealers and I honestly feel that we couldn’t have made a better choice since we got everything we wanted and much more. I’m so glad we hired them for this project and will be happy to work with them again in the future!

Tanya, Ted, and Heidi transformed our kitchen and created a beautiful wet bar in our ‘bonus room’. We absolutely loved working with Tanya and her team! Cabinets and Beyond Design Studio is conveniently located and really inviting. From our first visit, we knew we would be in good hands. We could not be happier with the friendly, professional, creative, artistic, and experienced service we received. Tanya came to our house and shared her vision of our disaster of a 1936 kitchen; AND she was really fun to work with. They were responsive, full of great ideas, and just fantastic to work with. We really can’t say enough good things about Cabinets and Beyond!

Read this review carefully. With all written, Megan the sales person deserves 5+ stars. This issue is entirely with her boss Tanya who happens to be the Owner/​President of this company. PLEASE BE WARNED & read on about her terribly entitled attitude & lack of customer service skills.
I have been planning my home remodel since May 2015. It is now November 2015 and everything is coming together to begin the remodel. I met with Megan at the SF location and she was very professional, provided excellent customer service, was very thorough in going over cabinets and counter types, the whole 9 yards. She is an exceptional sales person and deserves as much credit as possible. After working her for 6 months, I felt very comfortable knowing that she was addressing my changes, giving excellent suggestions, and really advocating for a great custom cabinet design.
STEP IN *TANYA (Megan’s boss) who I learned a day before she measured that she was the owner of the company and her title is the President. After my meeting with Megan on Wednesday, Megan arranged to have Tanya come to my home on Friday, November 6^th (the same week) to measure my cabinets. Specifically, because Tanya was going out of town and in order to proceed with the design, she would need to come to my home to measure so we could fine tune the drawings. Fine, I agreed to her coming to my home to MEASURE.
*Tanya came to my home in Westwood Highlands on November 6^th. She had a hunch on her shoulders the second she walked in my door. Anyway, moving on… she stormed into my living area, set her heavy bag of tiles and cabinetry directly on my table with no consideration for scratching it or even asking if she could place her items there. I had no idea that someone who runs a business would act this way. Within a minute of being in my home, she immediately demanded and I mean DEMANDED that I pay her $ 2500 on the spot and said I had to agree to this before she measured anything. This was the first time I was told by anyone at C&B that I would have to pay a «measuring fee».
How can a company demand a measuring fee for coming to a clients home without a written contract with a price point to ensure I knew what in fact I was signing up for? This was baffling to me and very off putting. PLEASE BE WARNED. DON’T BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CAUGHT OFF GUARD by this person.
Hence, I told *Tanya that I was not aware of a measuring fee and that I would not be willing to pay because first I had to discuss the payment with my husband who was coming home within 15 mins. He ended up arriving two hours later due to a work conflict. Therefore, we could not discuss it before he was home.
End result, *Tanya «lowered» her rate based on changes and omitting partial cabinetry in my design and cut me a so called deal on her terms. She said I «ONLY HAD TO PAY $ 1500 TONIGHT». Well, I don’t make such impulse decisions on the spot without first consulting with my husband. I reluctantly wrote the check. The next day, I emailed Megan and told her I felt pressured to sign over a check and I did not want Tanya to cash until I SIGNED an agreement agreeing to the final purchase price after revisions. I receive an email a day later from Megan saying that she spoke to Tanya and now due to a cut in $ 5K in my cabinetry cost, that they cannot move forward. I am sorry but $ 5K for pantry cabinets, and $ 19K for kitchen with only one side of upper cabinetry and lower cabinets is a bit much. I needed to negotiate the price down, or at least be told it wasn’t possible, take the price or leave it. Well, no option, no working with the customer, just a flat out we can’t move forward. All because the boss, TANYA, was upset that I wouldn’t allow her to cash my check without first having an agreement in place.
I spent six months working on this project, finalizing the details, and now, all to go to waste because someone is so money hungry, curt, and rude with no compassion or understanding of why a person would need to have an agreement in hand prior to paying a deposit with no final end number for full cabinetry costs.
I advise those looking to work with this company that you will receive excellent customer service especially if you deal with Megan. *Just be warned about her brash, nightmarish boss.
I will take my business elsewhere and give money to someone who I respect. Tanya is not a true professional business owner. I don’t want to support business owners who only care about themselves and treat clients like they are just another check in the bank. You lost a deal due to your lack of tact, Tanya. Megan deserves to work for someone who will take care of her, she just lost out on a deal because of you basically throwing a damn fit over not getting $ 2500 w/​o contract then lowered to $ 1500 the day of the first initial measuring in my home on a deal with no contract.
Clients will be better served by Dan at J&N Cabinets or Slava at Viktoriya Kitchen & Bath.

We had a very disappointing design appointment with Alphanso at Cabinets and Beyond. He was very enthusiastic when we walked in to check out the place on the advice of a neighbor and led us to believe that he could provide creative solutions to our kitchen design problem. We sent pictures of the kitchen as requested within two days of the initial meeting and then had to ping him twice before we got a response almost two weeks later. We set up an appointment a another couple of weeks later (so now we have waited almost a month) and waited excitedly hoping to see some solutions that we had not yet thought of. When we arrived, the design he had was described as «preliminary». I would have called it rudimentary. He made no inquires into what was working and not working in the kitchen. We sat there on these really awful stools while he fiddled with the design. It appeared that he just thrown it up minutes before we arrived. We walked out before the meeting was over. He promised to send updated ideas, but it has been a week and nothing from him. It was a complete waste of time, not only the hour we sat there, but the month we waited for the meeting.

Megan, one of the designers, is the best designer that I have even met. She is very detail oriented, friendly, professional and super patience with our 10 millions questions. ha. My wife and I spent nearly 3 hours at the first visit to design the kitchen with Megan. She helped us to pick the right cabinets materials that fit right into our budget. Right now, we cannot thank her enough for the beautiful kitchen that we put together. Will definitely recommend my friends to this place and to Megan!

After trying to figure out the complex and aesthetic aspects of designing a kitchen on our own, we carefully tried to find someone who can help us. We were so lucky to be in the great hands of Angie Murillo.
Her warm, energetic personality and very decisive demeanor put us at ease. We went through about 4 different designs until we found one that put out a wonderful open space and comfortable ergonomics in an originally small tight space. She was also very respectful of our budget and found lots of cost alternatives to stay within our comfort zone.
As with all major renovation projects there were stops and starts, but partnering with her, Heidi and towards the end Tanya, we worked out all the minor kinks and the results speak for themselves.
They really have a boutique type of feeling in their design company and we were so glad to work with them vs dealing with other big box or other designers who ram cabinetry in an architecture layout plan. We experienced both sides and were glad that Angie supported us with a stunning kitchen.

Tanya and her team did indeed deliver all around on my total kitchen remodel in SF, and I can heartily recommend their services!
From the first design discussion with my contractor to design, site visits, installation and ongoing negotiations with one of the supplying cabinet companies which shall remain unnamed, they were engaged, professional and attentive to detail.
I get many compliments on the kitchen from guests to my apartment and it has undeniably enhanced a central part of my daily life.
You are in excellent hands with Cabinets and Beyond!

Terrible sales and customer service. It’s possible that it was just the designer we worked with. We interacted with a woman named Melissa who made us feel like we were doing her a favor by purchasing our cabinet through her. She was never available to be reached by phone (or even call us back) so our expected delivery date was always a mystery. Furthermore, they expected us to clear an entire day to wait at home for the delivery when the order finally did arrive. However, in the end after I asked to be assigned a new rep we interacted with a designer named Dan who seemed to know what he was doing and finally helped us resolve all of the back and forth issues with the order. We probably won’t buy anything from here again.

I have worked with Cabinets & Beyond for several years. The owner Tanya is very nice and knowledgeable, as well as her designers Melissa and Jamie. Their cabinetry quality is excellent and is very competitive price wise. As an interior designer I tend to send my Peninsula clients to their showroom as it is worth the trip to the city!

I tried two other cabinet dealers before I found Cabinets and Beyond. I’d had a hard time finding someone willing to really deal with the odd angles in my kitchen, to maximize usable cabinet space. Jamie and Tanya were both very helpful, friendly, professional, careful… They both came out to check the measurements and all the angles and suggested changes to my kitchen layout for more storage. They produced drawings with measures of everything beforehand and were very good about communicating with my contractors once the pieces were delivered. They are a knowledgeable group, with good taste. They will respond quickly to your requests, tie up loose-​ends without prodding, and produce a really nice room.

This place is really great! I was remodeling my kitchen and walked into their showroom to check out what they can offer. I was greeted by Dan, and he explained all the options they can provide for me. Their designer designed a gorgeous kitchen with all the best appliances. The prices were reasonable, and they referred excellent contractors to get the job done.
I am very happy with the job, and very happy with the customer services provided.

Where do I start with Cabinets and Beyond? We’ve just finished remodeling our house, which took about 2 months, and C&B has been an integral part of the whole process, not just the kitchen cabinets and counters.
When we shopped around and visited the showroom, we were handled by the owner herself who provided a whole bunch of insight and recommendations about why we should get one kitchen vs another. We ended up picking what we though was going to work best and moved on to the counters. After exploring all the options, we decided to skip marble and granite and went with Caesarstone — all of the above were explained in great detail and I was given an opportunity to try to put a scratch on Caesarstone.
Besides the products, which were very decent in price, we were also recommended contractors, whom we later interviewed and picked for the whole remodel. Having seen the final result now, I can say we couldn’t be happier with the recommendation. Personal references work the best in my experience, and this case only proved it further.
Once we received our kitchen, we found that a few of the cabinets were damaged or otherwise not up to par. A few calls to C&B and all was taken care of — replacements arrived within 2 weeks.
All in all, my wife and I are very happy with Cabinets and Beyond and will probably go with them again for our next house, in the next 10 years or so.
