Old River Cabinets is building our kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, and Eco Marble and Granite is supplying the granite counter tops.
Old River Cabinets just notified us – late in the afternoon of the day before the scheduled installation – that due to "problems at the factory," installation will be delayed six days, until December 6. Needless to say, we are not pleased.
Old River Cabinets called to say that they can't make the Tuesday delivery date. It's now scheduled for Thursday, December 9.
Finally – after rescheduling twice at the last minute – Old River Cabinets delivered and began installing the kitchen cabinets. The bathroom vanities are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.
