In summary I would like a written warranty covering materials and workmanship-minimum for one year. I foolishly proceeded with my order without an explicitv warranty
Description of Work: I ordered a very expensive two part dresser. The problem is that the large drawers cfell off their tracks within the first two weeks. A repairman was shortly dispatched and he realligned the drawers. He warned that with these track drawers this could repeat itself. He said that I could not reinsert these fragile drawers on my own. Will I be beholden th Knossis for many years to come to constantly adjust my drawers, and with a fee on top of my original inflated price

It came out beautiful. It was the color that I wanted and they did a very nice job. It is a very adequate wall unit. It was exactly what we expected.

I knew Knossos when it was an unpainted furniture store. Someone suggested I try it for the built ins I needed. My how it has changed. It does kitchens and finished furnitures. The salesperson understood exactly why I needed, quickly drew a plan and gave me a price I felt was very, very fair, much lower than other stores in NYC. The unit was completed in the time promised and installed well by competent and gracious men. There was a problem with the radiator cover and the men simply remeasured and said they would correct the problem. In a week or maybe less they were back. They were all concerned that the work be perfects.
Description of Work: Designed, built and installed a factory-sprayed cabinet-radiator cover-bookcase unit with a sprayed painted finish.

Process began with furniture designer, Amir, coming to apt. and providing a verbal estimate, then after a $250 deposit, creating a detailed schematic (one day later) and discussions of color and finish using floor samples at the showroom. I knew what I wanted, but the designer solved several problems with nice esthetics and functionality. I paid 1/2 upfront, 1/2 at delivery. Amir worked within my budget. The only concern was living in a studio and needing to spend more weeks than expected working around many boxes. Also, was told on several occasions that the furniture would come the following week, which didn't happen. However, the people were pleasant and tried to hurry the process. The "wall" was assembled on site and the installers cut holes for wiring and outlets as needed, and custom fit each piece by filing or filling around uneven apartment walls. (Measurements were quite good going in though in a difficult space.) The workers were respectful and cleaned up afterwards.
Description of Work: Knossos built a 19.5' custom wall unit comprised of floor to ceiling bookshelves on top, bottom cabinets, a built-in desk with utility drawer and custom file cabinets. In addition, they built matching shelving and a radiator cover on the adjacent wall. The furniture was built of birch wood and stained white. The finished work was beautiful and professional, but there were some scheduling and communication problems. Furniture designer underestimated time to build: promised 8-10 weeks...delivered at end of 13 weeks. No specific date for delivery was set, and then called at end of the day the day before, leaving me scrambling to arrange my schedule. It was a big project, but I am happy with the work and feel it adds significantly to the value of my apartment. I would use them again, but would be wary of something that had to come in on a particular schedule.

The quality of this company is extremely noteworthy. They are punctual, very professional, and knew exactly what it was I needed in creating and installing this wall unit. I was very happy with the price and will be using them again.
