I stumbled in Kavana after a long exhausting search for vanities. I was looking for a thick countertop, when I say thick, I mean 6-10". I saw every store in Doral and they all sold the same things - 1" white countery tops. I hated them. I was sick of searching (every weekend for 2 months). I concluded that all those beautiful Pinterest photos were not real and probably rendered in some way. I passed by Kavana all the time while I was driving around the area during the 2 months but never went inside. It was the last store on my driving route, that I had no energy to check it out. Dropped by finally since this was probably the only store I didn't visit in the 2 month search. As soon as I walked in, there they were. The vanities I saw on pinterest! THE THICK floating marbled countertops!Yamel was my store rep, and she is an absolute STAR. I told her my vision and my future plans. I bought a condo in Brickell and planned to live in it a few years and then rent it out when the time comes. I could tell that this was her wheelhouse because she was not simply a yes girl. I needed someone who was experienced and would provide me insight that I could not consider on my own and would give me the foresight for things to watch out for. Yamel is PRACTICAL and LOGICAL. I wanted a very thick floating slab for my master bathroom and her response was, that's beautiful for me as a homeowner living there, but not practical for future tenants because they need storage. She is so right. We custom designed a cabinet shelf with pull out drawers to be built under the porcelain slab and I had a vision of exactly how I needed this cabinet to look like. Simple. Minimalistic. Originally was planned for two shelves side by side like the ones I saw on Pinterest. Later on when the drawings came out to one shelf I was wondering if this was a mistake. Yamel had practical foresight explaining me that the two shelves are not practical because of the length I needed this vanity to be, 48". The two shelves wouldn't to hold much storage and impractical. Again, she is so right. We made the pull out shelf to be one long simple drawer and it turned out to be a much better look because it was minimalistic. It turned out to be even better than the pinterest photos!My vision was japandi interior style, very earthy, stoney, ash wood but warm, very minimalistic with accents of polished brass faucets and finishings. I brought tile (floor and wall) samples and Yamel understood exactly my vision and chose the porcelain styles that matched the style I was going for. Beautiful veining. Orlando's coordination with my GC was incredible because of all the exact measurements of the corners and angles that had to be considered because these were custom built vanities. Orlando is a specialist and I didn't know the level of exactness that needed to go in to custom building the vanities until I saw Orlando and his team come to my home and build these out. It took an army and extreme patience to fit the vanity in to my powder room because the slab was to fit wall to wall. Imagine how heavy this slab was and Orlando's level of patience to guide his team to fit this huge block in to the space was incredibly stressful to watch and all the more respect I had for him. They also took a few hours to fit all the cabinetry for the pull out shelf to work in my master bathroom, it was a push system that would pop out the shelf and even when it was past 5 pm and the sun was down, they stayed behind patiently to ensure the system was all working.The final look turned out beautiful. Yamel is sharp and she quickly sees the vision giving practical feedback. That is exactly what you need when you are spending the kind of $$$ for custom builds. She is informative and detailed. Orlando is a genius architect. Watch him and how he guides the team, you'll see the level of patience required to install these heavy blocks! And the more corners and sides you have, the more complicated!Photos attached (incomplete master bathroom but just to share the finish

No exchanges, no returns!!!I bought a medicne cabinet 3 months ago for an apartment I was remodeling and now wanted to exchange it for a mirror with lights.Came to the store and they said to me they cannot exchange, ni return the item because of the tine passed (3 months) and the condition of the box, the box that I never opened.

Jose and the team re-tiled ground floor of my house (the kitchen and island is existing) and they did a fantastic job! The existing floor tiles were carefully removed throughout and even from the existing kitchen cabinets and around center island. Then the new tiles were installed underneath while the cabinets are in place (a difficult job to do).The floor tiles are perfectly leveled and aligned. I added a laundry base cabinet in the launders room after the tile was installed and I didn’t even need to level the cabinets with shims because floor was so flat and leveled!While not necessary, Jose came by every two-three days to check up on the progress. The installation team was very professional, they cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall very impressive with the work!

I had a phenomenal experience with the KAVANA team. Angela was my salesperson and she is absolutely great and knowledgeable. She helped me choose the tiles for my bathroom. My bathroom came out beautiful and decided to go back to KAVANA to buy more tiles for my daughter’s bathroom as well. Angela is very attentive and always has a smile on her face. Jose and his wife were very helpful and know their products very well. I am so happy and appreciative for all the KAVANA team did for me. I recommend them 100%

This is our second project with Kavana, the first being about 4 years ago. They are fantastic to work with. Professional, thoughtful and personalized attention to details. We find them willing to listen to your ideas, yet knowledgeable enough to provide real guidance without being “pushy”…not to mention PRICE!!!?

My husband and I visited Kavana floor and bath multiple times while selecting our bathroom tile. Kavana has beautiful high quality Spanish and Italian porcelain tiles. We had an exceptional experience with Angela. She is very pleasant to deal with, we never felt rushed to make a decision. She answered all our questions and demonstrated great confidence and knowledge about her products. We are very happy with our beautiful Italian tile !

Sales agent quoted me a price for a bathroom vanity, even wrote the price down on her business card. I went back the next day and apparently she misquoted but promised to honor the price. I walked away to take a call and left my wife with the sales agent. When we left the store the receipt reflected an increase in cost by more than 10%. The price wasn’t honored because they didn’t have access to the item I wanted so they just changed the price and never bothered to explain this to me and just took advantage of my less savvy wife. When I called them about it and asked why, the agent did nothing ti make the situation better. Complete bait and switch and the. She took advantage of my wife while I wasn’t around. I’m disgusted by this, and if I wasn’t in a rush ti finish my renovation, I would have canceled the entire deal. As I begin my next, even larger project, there is ZERO chance I will go back to this store that has no credibility.

Best place in Miami to find the latest designs and choices for home. The customer service and attention to detail goes above and beyond. When you visit make sure to ask for Angela, she's amazing! Thanks to her my renovation is coming out perfect.

It's the first time I work with Kavana. Especially with Alice, Orlando and Miguel (the tiler). They sold me the tiles and they installed them in my bathroom (Middle river dr, Fort Lauderdale). As you can see on pictures (before and after), the result is amazing. The work was quick and perfect. I'm very satisfied. This team is very professional. Thank you. Marc Amblard.
