Be aware that they are drop shippers, and their website inventories often show items as "in stock" that aren't. I waited 3 weeks for an item I was told would ship within 3 days. And after calling and cancelling the order, they shipped it to me any way and stated I'd have to pay a restocking fee, and a fee to ship it back. *EDIT* When ordering, the item had a shipping date of 3 days after the order (not 8-10) and was shown in stock.
And after speaking with a representative when I asked to cancel the order, it had not yet been noted as shipped, and I was told the order would be cancelled and I would be refunded by the end of the day.

This is the first time I have signed into a site to do a review. I bought kitchen cabinets from Modern Builders in May 2016. Mike was so wonderful and my experience was of such that I had to write this even though it is 3.5 years late. My cabinets look and have operated just as they have when they were new. I get compliments often. A friend asked me this week where I purchased my cabinets. So I am sending her to MBS and to Mike Bish. I will send everyone that speaks of buying cabinets to MBS. I got solid wood cabinets for a great price. I am a very satisfied customer.

Have done business with Modern Builders for decades as has my father prior to that. All the staff is very helpful and well versed in many areas. They strive on a deep commitment to serve the best interest of the client, very focused on getting it done and are very loyal to their clients. Many of the staff there have been within the organization at this location for 20+ years. Tough to find that type of dedication in any one organization considering the number of distributors around Columbus today.

Mike and Dave in Cabinet Sales were wonderful to work with. Modern bldrs is very professional and they are very respectful toward female business owners, I greatly appreciated this. They were also, very patient on an issue. Thank you. I don't know the Owner but he must be a Gentlemen to hire Mike and Dave. I will be placing a cabinet order in the near future.
