We had the chance to work with Katie at Von Tobel and she was excellent to work with from initial consultation to purchase. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. We don't live near the area, but we would come back to the store to work with her again.

Working with Kate on our kitchen and master bath projects has been outstanding. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, detailed and pleasant to work with. Kate is a great representative for Von Tobel’s and I would strongly recommend her to anyone working on a kitchen or bath project.
