Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

We have just completed out second kitchen in a second home, with the Gracious Living Centre and as one can imagine are totally sold on the Rational Product. The clean look and the opportunity to mix and match uppers and lowers, made it fun to create a design that is unique to us. The fact that it is non-toxic and of such good quality contributed to the decision to work with Xandra and her team. When we engaged with them in our first kitchen over 10 years ago, we saw unique pieces that helped us use small spaces more productively - like the pull out pantry, the pots and pans drawers, and the pull out shelving that helped access the space that is often lost where the corners of the cupboards meet.

The first time round, being sold on Miele products before engaging GLC,we secured most of our own appliances and arranged for their delivery and installation. This time round we used GLC to do these arrangements and were appreciative of their intervention when the dishwasher showed up unable to perform and they helped facilitate the arrival of a newer upgraded replacement at no extra cost.

The best part about the whole process was working with Vanita. She is very personable and responsive, and takes full responsibility for what she says she is going to do and communicates about this. She helped us design the kitchen in a way that listened to our needs/requests and did her best to come up with something that would work for us as some of our ideas shifted and changed. She is very knowledgeable and creative in her work. Even after the kitchen was installed, she had some very creative ideas helping us solve storage issues unrelated to the product, referring us to useful resources. The delivery and installation happened very close to the projected dates and with her overseeing the project, it all went very smoothly. There was one issue after the installation, where one of the cupboards was not closing properly, and it was attended to quickly and without any problem from our perspective.

Idon't suppose we will ever have the need to do another kitchen, but if we did, we would not hesitate to engage the Gracious Living Centre.
