Urban Effects: Quality Cabinetry, Reasonably Priced

A few weeks ago, Monarch Kitchen and Bath Centre designers Melissa Foley, Kevin Samson and Amanda Willson-Suppa spent an entire day with the team at Urban Effects brushing up on their Norcraft Cabinetry product knowledge.

"It was great to meet many of the people we have spoken to over the phone for so long," says Amanda. "A big thank you to Phil, Jack, John and Dawn for making the trip from Winnipeg and taking the time to explain how their cabinetry is made."

In addition to winning one of the mini-competitions held during the product knowledge seminar, Monarch designers also learned that when the Urban Effects' staff paints or stains their cabinetry, they do all of the cabinets at one time -- from start to finish.

Cabinetry is undoubtedly one of the biggest expenses in a kitchen renovation. If you're looking for ways to stay within your design budget without sacrificing quality, drop by our Pickering showroom and allow one of our designers to show you what Norcraft Cabinetry has to offer.
