My wife and I recently decided to have custom closets done in all our bedrooms. We did much research on the different companies; California Closets oh the high end and EZ Closets on the DIY low end.
As did all the other companies, (with the exception of the DIY solutions) Mike Kaufman, the owner of the Redmond franchise came to our house to give their pitch. Mike was very friendly and VERY HONEST. There were several times when he would steer us away from some of the options California Closets really pushed. His rationale was very simple. It was guidance like the quote below that made them our solution of choice.
"...if you want to pay 30% more for your shelves, I will be happy to add the half round edge. But for something that sits behind a closet door 90% of the time, is it really worth the additional expense?"
There was little difference in the various companies products. Closet & Storage Concepts uses the same mounting system as California Closets. They also offer the same kind of warranty.
The biggest difference was in the price. For the same price that California Closets quoted us for one closet, we were able to do all 4 rooms with identical closet designs.
Give them a call. You and your pocketbook will be happy you did.

If you're in the market for Kohler fixtures, you can see what seems like their entire catalog by going to Keller Supply in Redmond. While the Keller Supply website indicates that they (their warehouse) carry dozens of brands, the showroom is almost entirely dominated by Kohler tubs, sinks, faucets, showers, and toilets. There are a few other designer brands that you don't see at the big box places like Lowe's and Home Depot, too, but they comprise maybe 10-20% of the showroom floor.
The store is laid out pretty well, with sinks mostly in one area and faucets and showerheads in another. Their bathroom faucets are actually hooked up to the plumbing so you can judge them based on function as well as form. I also really liked the pull-out drawers that allow them to maximize display space for sinks, but I didn't like the fact that there were no price tags, not even price tags with MSRPs. They had finish samples on kiosks here and there, but for the most part, display items were in standard white.
My husband and I would have liked to talk to someone, but customer service in the showroom is available only by appointment. We didn't know this ahead of time. It's a good thing they have a sign in the showroom telling you as much because I would have been really offended that they acknowledged us with nary a glance or a nod. This seemed like an unnecessarily snooty way of conducting business and definitely turned me off.
After browsing the showroom, we stopped in the warehouse to see if they had a sample product in the back that they didn't have in the showroom. While the guy at the desk was reluctant to go check, he ultimately did. This helped to sort of redeem the place in my mind. That said, they still carry lots of brands and contractors and builders apparently like to use them, so if you see something you want on their website, you can order it online or through your contractor instead of wasting a trip to the showroom.
