Our Team Report

Alan, an award-winning Certified Kitchen Designer, has been helping clients in Park Ridge, Glenview and Chicago create the kitchen of their dreams for over 30 years. An extremely talented and creative designer, Alan was recently chosen to design an outdoor kitchen environment for a summer-long event at the New York Botanical Garden titled, The Edible Garden.

Why Choose Brookhaven Report

As Chicago's oldest Wood-Mode and Brookhaven dealer, we have been carrying and selling both cabinetry lines for over 50 years. Brookhaven, unlike Wood-Mode cabinetry, is considered a semi-custom line. What does that mean? First, when you buy the Wood-Mode line you have more flexibility with respect to customization, (size, trim, etc.) and finish, (colors and door styles).

Why Choose Wood-Mode Report

Wood-Mode is renowned for excellence in cabinet design, material selection, construction methods and finishes. The many hand steps executed with care by their dedicated craftspeople is the key to quality. Using only the finest wood, hardware, woodworking skills, and technology, Wood-Mode produces the highest quality cabinetry with a broad range of styles, colors, woods, laminates, moldings and hardware.

My kitchen got delivered last Friday, all good with that and build quality is very good, it's just I thought I had ordered an in-frame kitchen and didn't realize it's pretending to be in-frame and not doing a very good job of it, it just looks like a normal kitchen sadly. I should of ordered it from DIY kitchen in Yorkshire they have real in-frame kitchens. Hey Hoy!

Having initially had an issue with contacting the company online and the delivery dates, the customer care team worked to ensure our cabinets arrived in good time before my wife is due to give birth. The order however was not complete, and when the missing door was resent, parts were still missing.

Excellent quality kitchen for a good price. Very helpful staff at all stages, design (special thanks to Neil & Julian), order.and after sales when the inevitable extras are needed! Slight hiccup with what appeared to be a new member of staff giving the wrong advice during an after sale query, but this was promptly sorted by Julian when we highlighted it to him. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic quality kitchen at an unbelievable price. Prices are far more competitive than Howdens and Wren, but the delivered product is as good, if not better than these household name kitchen companies.

Pros: Lovely kitchen units and they are fab quality. Really pleased with the result. Cons: Incredibly unhelpful delivery drivers who just want to dump them and go. Parts missing which you are expected to buy yourself, and then integrated appliances are a pain to fit as some how you are expected to have the tools to drill holes for door hinges. The staff are friendly and they do respond to enquries quickly. It's let down by making the whole fitting experience more difficult than it should be.

The quality of the kitchen was good, however some pieces were missing off the delivery and due to time we had to buy elsewhere. Better kitchens will now NOT refund me the parts that arrived late (after the kitchen was fitted). Check their terms and conditions! Really disappointed.

Kitchen arrived as per shipment date, I have now installed the items and I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of the units. delivery was a little slow but I was informed on purchase date of this. everything was well packed no damage to any items. Overall very impressed with the quality. My only disappointment was the lack of screws (quantity) that came with the units. additionally the end edging strip that came with the white worktop was a different colour to the front edging (front strip was silver -- end strip was white).
