| Inland Cabinets John Barro *Horrible Cabinets & Granite* Corona, California |

This guy Johnny is a smooth talker. He told me his cabinets and granite was the best thing since apple pie. I visited the showroom where the cabinets were shipped from, and when I saw the fit and finish I questioned John about how bad it was. His remark was that it is all in the installation and his "guy" was an ace at installing these particular cabinets. By the way, the cabinets were RTA (ready to assemble) from China. They are all real wood with a stain finish. The manufacturer is Mayland Cabinets in Rancho Cucamonga. I have to say, he did show up when he said and his timeline for finishing the job was right on time. But that is where all the problems began. There were many problems I saw right away which include: cabinet doors do not close properly, gaps in the crown molding, doors have large gaps, cabinet drawers not adjusted right, cabinet shelves are not spaced correctly, 3/4" difference in the upper cabinets height from the granite from one end to the other (yes the upper or lower cabinets are not level, so from one end to the other there is 3/4" difference) and many other fit and finish problems. Don't have him install your knobs/handles on the cabinets as they will all be crooked. They can't even get them on straight! John's installation guy had to make several trips back to try and fix my problem lists. Now lets talk about his granite..... What a joke! I have several large spots where epoxy was used to fill gaps and the epoxy was never colored to look like the granite. They even used a black magic marker to try and hide it! The 6" backsplash was cut from different pieces so it does not match where a seam is. My contract never stipulated "prefab" and John's excuse was it is a prefab slab so the fit will not always be perfect. THIS IS FAR FROM PERFECT. John's final attempt to make me happy was to knock off $700 from the $13K total bill, so I paid him the balance and had to leave as his installer made the final attempt to fix all my problems. To my dismay, when I returned home, the cabinets still have flaws! Shelves are not right, doors do not close properly, fit and finish problems, molding issues and of course the granite still has epoxy everywhere. Long story short.... do not use this guy!

| Don't know how to delete this comment about Inland Cabinets. I never signed up to this website, but this review did. John DID TAKE CARE OF MY ISSUES. Cabinets look good. Sorry John for the mistake. |

| Ummm... John tried to take care of my problems. They still exist and I have more than before. As the months of casual use come to light, more issues about fit and finish are showing up. Watch out. DO NOT USE INLAND CABINETS. |
