Comments (12)I have Diamond cabinets, the ones with soft close as standard, and they've held up perfectly in a heavily trafficked galley kitchen for the past year (a painted finish that has survived multiple games of soccer in the kitchen!) We got them through a kitchen shop, not Lowes, but when I've been to Lowes, they have the same style, just with a different name. I looked at a range of other lower-cost options: a sample cabinet from Barker in walnut as well as several sample doors seemed beautiful and solid. I also got sample doors from Cliq which were very splotchy in their stains; also the one painted finish I ordered as a sample scratched with almost no effort. There have been positive and very negative reviews about Cliq on GW; I think Barker has only received kudos. For someone like me - with no time, space or skills to actually assemble cabinets - Diamond was a great alternative....See MoreCliqStudio Cabinet Experiences?
Comments (7)Here are pics from our recently completed kitchen using Cliq cabinets. Overall, I would say we are very happy with the finished outcome. The Cliq design team worked with us on several "semi-custom" applications - the bench, the island and stacked oven/microwave cabinet (they also worked with us on creating a custom laundry room area with a stacked washer/dryer, prep/folding area - etc). We did stacked uppers and the crown as well as the trim moldings between the cabinets are nice finishing touches - that lend a more "customized" finish. As far as the quality goes, were there a couple of issues -- yes; but, nothing what I would consider major. The cabinets seem like solid construction (our contractor felt the quality of both the wood and the hardware were on par with what he uses with his "cabinet guy". Finish quality, we have a pretty good size kitchen with a bunch of cabinets. A handful of the cabinets, maybe 6/7 had some minor cosmetic blemishes and Cliq has a couple ways to handle these problems. Some of these are handled through replacement, or direct compensation back to fix/repair, they have a stellar customer service team. The biggest struggle with us was on the assembly of the cabinets, we used a very experienced general contractor and they had some fits with the construction. This isn't necessarily Cliq's issue, it was just a different assembly then what they were used to - so, be aware (all these areas are covered pretty well in the Cliq assembly packet for the most part). For us, we saw the gamut of cabinet costs and Cliq was on the lower end - our total costs for a kitchen that is roughly 25' x 17' was about $18K. Like I said earlier, so far, we're really happy with what we have. Hope this helps!...See MoreHave you use CliqStudios kitchen cabinets?
Comments (7)Check out the Better Business Bureau site. Many complaints about Cliq. You want inexpensive cabinets of quality? IKEA is your best choice. An abundance of people on this forum have used them, and been very pleased. We put IKEA cabs in our laundry room. My son put them in his apartment. They’re economical, rock solid, and come with all the bells and whistles...soft close drawers and doors, and a variety of configurations....See MoreCliqStudios (cabinets) - OUT OF BUSINESS?!
Comments (65)@JuneKnow, are you really live_wire_oak, who no longer has an active account on here? I see that you consistently post with ProSource Memphis and Celadon on the same threads and you sound suspiciously similar. Unless you have recently purchased, installed or have been directly involved with CLIQ I see no value in denigrating a company that is employing American workers who are trying to take care of their families and put food on the table. Have you not noticed that we are in the middle of a pandemic and millions of people are out of work? What is your motivation in trying to negatively impact this business? You did the same thing to Wellborn on another thread. Let real users share their experiences. I do believe that forum members are smart enough to do their own research and make up their own minds. @millworkman, I read this thread last night and saw Cliq's response and now see that it is deleted. I did not consider it SPAM, but their right to defend their company against anonymous persons sitting behind a keyboard and bashing their company....See Moresusanlynn2012
