Q. Why should I visit your showroom and take a factory tour?

A. Our clients are searching for cabinetry that they will see and use every day. It makes no sense to purchase a most important furniture piece from a catalog or picture. Mr. Corner offers everyone the opportunity to tour the factory and see exactly how their cabinets will be constructed. Many showroom pieces and work in process can be viewed and many questions will be answered. New ideas to customize and personalize your cabinets are  frequently the result of a factory/showroom tour.

Q. Will I be able to take my cabinet with me if I move?

A. Your choice! Mr. Corner cabinetry can be designed, built and installed in such a way that it is completely movable. Some designs may not fit in your new home but, you never know, and why not give yourself that flexibility.

Q. How can you offer top quality at less cost than other custom cabinetmakers?

A. Mr. Corner has pre-designed many Entertainment and Computer units in many sizes to fit a wide variety of uses. Because no templates or layouts are required for these standard sizes, Mr. Corner can incorporate furniture grade woods, superior hardware and finishing into each of its cabinets with far less labor cost than custom made. That savings is passed on to its customers. Most standard cabinets can be customized to fit your particular needs at modest additional cost.

Q. What type of woods and finishes does Mr. Corner offer?

A. Maple and Oak are the most popular woods today. There are many inferior grades of wood available but Mr. Corner uses only the top grades with the most desirable features. We offer numerous standard stain and natural bar top satin lacquer finishes. Stain blends can be created to closely match your existing furniture.

Q. Does someone come to our home before construction begins?

A. Old cabinetmaker's saying, "Never trust anyone elses tape rule." In every case, our designer will come to your home and carefully measure the area, noting outlet locations and obstructions. After measurements are taken, you will receive a complete three-dimensional drawing of your cabinet. If necessary, we will revise this design to fit your needs more exactly. Only after your approval does construction begin. You get exactly what you ordered!

Q. How long does it take to build my new corner unit?

A. Typically, from design to installation, approximately 10 to 12 weeks is required to complete a new cabinet. Because Mr. Corner has no subcontractors, work is done right the first time and on time.
