Studio 41 Home Design Showroom

Another store that we came in to check out and left realizing how many different ways there are to furnish a bathroom and kitchen!
The wall of shower fixtures and faucets was quite impressive and we learned that stand alone tubs are definitely a big thing right now. The toilet wall at the back of the store was quite impressive, especially the metal on the wall toilet that looks like something out of a prison. Apparently when it’s polished it looks pretty cool and more like you’re on a spaceship rather than in the slammer.
The kitchen sink area was quite impressive and we got a lot of great ideas 4 things in the coming years. In addition, we had a number of fixtures that were so gaudyi we actually had to ask about them. The most impressive one was a gold fixture that weighs so much, it can’t actually be mounted on a wall. We decided not to go with that one as result :-)
A good place to get ideas for your house, with friendly associates, and plenty to look at. Everything seemed to be a little on the pricey side, but they do tend to have things that are not available elsewhere. Worth checking out for sure!

i love Bianca the designer. She is perfection and helped us with the dumpy condo that we purchased. I remember walking into this horrid condo and crying that I was so stupid getting it. Bianca designed a beautiful kitchen and bathroom for our new place. Now I might have a smile on my face when I move in.

We gutted and remodeled both bathrooms and kitchen earlier this year, and since Studio 41 is a few blocks from us, I thought it would be a logical place to go to buy all our faucets /​sinks /​shower equipment. However, similar to a few other reviewers, I did not have a positive experience. None of the salespeople came over to help me at all, and when I asked for some help, they did come over, but it wasn’t what I was hoping for. And some of that really isn’t the salesperson’s fault — it was more so the design of the show room. Nothing is marked — model numbers or prices. So, while I knew I wanted Hansgrohe or Moen or Kohler, I had no idea what model number I was looking at — nor the price. The salesperson told me I needed to just ask them and they would tell us the model number. That’s not a great approach — especially given that none of the sales people were «jumping up» to help me. It really puts the customer at the salesperson’s whim. I want to come into a store and be able to see which model numbers I’m looking at so that I can go online and see reviews, etc.
Similar for the showerhead display — where they will turn on the showerheads for you and you can see the spray power. Again — I would just be pointing to any shower head, they would turn it on, but I would have to ask which model that was. And sometimes they would just say «RainDance», but there are a lot of RainDance Models, so that didn’t help me.
Price-​wise, they told me it’s the standard manufacturer price (you see online) and then your contractor would probably get 25% off. That, too was disappointing to know b/​c when I was looking at contractors earlier in the year, I thought that was a huge selling point of a contractor. However, I get 25% coupons from Studio 41 every three months. So — no great bonus there.
I ended up going to Ferguson and the people there were soooo helpful and really went out of their way to assist me. I recommend going elsewhere for your faucet, bathroom, etc. needs.

I walked in trying to get a sense of what they do, how their design/​remodeling process works, as I prepare to put in some major remodeling into a house that needs some update. The store does not seem to be interested in talking to me at all. Many people sit by their desks. The guy who greets people talked to me but he kept on saying that when you are ready, I can talk to sales consultant. Just take a look at products, get an idea. Not sure what ideas I am getting just looking at the faucets and such. Not a very good first time experience. As some other reviewers said, Studio 41 may not be for individuals? If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be mind being told that is the case and let me know what their scope of work is.

I have a townhome 3 blocks away from this store. It was very convient to walk to and the hours were very good. We worked with Dan Ryal who was very friendly, very nolagable about all the products and made the ordering process easy. All products came in as ordered, when promised and delivered to our home when promised. We had a glitch with one order, but Dan and the team worked it out perfectly. We would certainly use Studio 41 again and highly recommend them to anyone. Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.

I went in to the Hubbard location to ask about a lockset that broke and that I purchased there. Wanted to know if it could be fixed or to purchase a new one. I could not believe the level of rudeness from the salesperson upstairs. Before saying to go downstairs to the lock dept he spoke to me as though I was a homeless person walking in off the street.
Went downstairs and it wasn’t any better. There were three salespeople sitting at their desks and NONE of them bothered to ask me anything. Had to approach one & ask for help. She didn’t even want to help me. Seems like if I wanted to spend $ 25k they would acknowledge my presence but otherwise acted like I was bothering them for even being there.
THE RUDEST most unprofessional place I had the misfortune of dealing with. This type of service forces people to go elsewhere.

Great experience with Studio 41! This is the third bathroom I am having remodeled and absolutely enjoyed working with Studio 41. Great selection of vanities and hardware, great source of ideas and friendly service. All parts were received within two weeks and when we needed to return a couple, the process was easy and return granted immediately. Of course it is pricier than the Home Depot or Menard’s but the product choice, quality and level of service make an enormous difference for such a complex project.
Many thanks to Emily who assisted us from the design through the delivery, installation and a couple of issues that she handled perfectly with responsiveness and kindness.

It’s important to note that our poor review of Studio is related to its design service, not the products we received. As noted in the original review, the design had several flaws that required correction due to a lack of attention to detail.
We continue to experience this challenge as we seek to obtain the final part from the original order placed in December 2015. First, we needed to make a few requests to receive the part despite it being written in the contract and then we advised on making sure the proper size was ordered. The part arrived today, but it was the wrong size.
The products Studio represents are excellent quality. The design service, attention to detail, and customer service are not.

They could not have been more rude. About to spend $ 25K for our new home just on Kohler products and they could not be bothered with my 2 yr old son and I. Good thing there are choices — but if this is how Kohler is being represented, then I feel terrible for their executives and designers who work to put a nice product in the market. Awful service, rude people and I’ll take my money elsewhere.

I’ve been looking for bath fixtures for two bathrooms that I’ve been re-​doing, and I could not be more pleased with the service I’ve received at Studio 41. I’ve been working with Emily, who is probably one of the most helpful people I’ve ever encountered, she’s got a great design aesthetic, not to mention that she totally knows the wide range products and lines to choose from, including what’s needed for these types of remodeling jobs, things to look out for, etc. Also, the pricing at Studio41 is excellent, and they offer a nice range of brands at various price points, depending on what your budget it. Also, it’s really nice to have a ‘one stop shop’ where you can look at faucets… then cabinets… then knobs… etc., all in one trip.

My kitchen faucet was leaking and all I needed was a simple replacement part to fix it. I walked into this store yesterday for the first time and was immediately greeted by a Sales Consultant named Dan, within minutes he located the replacement part and had it delivered from another store for me to pick up the following day.
Dan was very pleasant and efficient unlike another well know bath and kitchen showroom I had visited earlier. At the other place they were only interested in selling me a new faucet for around $ 900+ when all I needed was a replacement part that cost $ 40!
Studio 41 has earned my future business and I already have spotted a few ideas from their showroom I’d like to do in my bathroom.

Very nice small showroom.
Sales personnel are not pushy.
We dropped in once since we were already parked for our visit to Luxe Home in the Merchandise Mart.
Upper to moderate price point, good place to visit for bathroom and kitchen ideas

I was in the market for a kitchen faucet and stopped by Studio 41 after work. There were lots of staff members around, but none of them approached me to see if they could help for the first 15 minutes I was there. I stopped one and finally asked for some help. They had every kind of faucet I knew of. The prices started at the upper-​mid range and went to high end. There is good looking stuff. Lots of design ideas for every area of the house.

The service is great there. I had my bathroom remodeled a month ago and ordered fixtures/​hardware from Studio 41. The salesperson was great and helped me pick out what I needed. I don’t really have an eye for design, so I told them the look I was going for and they found everything I needed. Very happy with the service and the price was good too.

I walked in to the shop at 6:40 p.m. even though it closed at 6:00. The manager, Dan, was as nice as can be, and gave me plenty of time to look around. I was impressed by the clean, modern design. There were no prices on the items, so I’m afraid it was one of those «if you have to ask, you can’t afford it» situations. But I’ll definitely go back with the hubby and have another look around. If they laugh us out of the shop after we tell them our budget, then so be it.
