**★★★★★ — Cannarsa Structure and Design, March 2020**

> I've worked with Kitchen West for over 10 years and continue to be impressed by this remarkable team of designers.  They listen intently to their clients needs and desires, and then work to create fresh well-considered designs that always seem to surprise and delight.  Their showroom is beautiful, and they keep it current and stocked with the latest samples and options.  They go well beyond cabinetry including appliances, counters, glass, and hardware.  This is a top-notch company that excels at modern, traditional and every style in between.  In my opinion, their professionalism, warmth, and follow-through are second to none in West Michigan.

**★★★★★ — Allan/Martha Kautz, Sept. 2017**

**★★★★★ — Linda Cameron, Aug. 2017**

> Marilyn and her team are amazing! Beautiful concepts and cabinet choices. Marilyn handles everything from design to countertop and cabinet  installation to picking hardware. She makes everything easy with a gorgeous result. We built our dream home on the west coast of Michigan and she helped us design our dream kitchen.  Loved working with Kitchen West!

**Comment from Kitchen West:**

> We loved helping you create your dream kitchen!  Thank you for allowing us to use our talents to advise you on design and finishes.  Your Lake Michigan home is simply stunning!

**★★★★★ — Karen Peterik, Dec. 2016**

> My husband and I loved working with Marilyn at K-West and couldn't be happier with the results!  From our first consultation to the fine tuning of details near the end, Marilyn was open to all of our ideas and added some crucial input that made all the difference in the project.  Thanks to K-West, our kitchen is not only the heart of our cozy Saugatuck cottage, but the soul as well.

**★★★★★ — mouja33, June 2015**

> I worked with Marilyn on my kitchen remodel last year. When I started on the project, I interviewed 3 different kitchen companies in the area. Marilyn had the best design and the best price. She was able to clearly understand what I wanted and was able to interpret it into the design. Her experience and talent was want made my dream kitchen a reality. When working with Marilyn and her staff, they were always prompt in answering any questions I had and very helpful. Remodeling a kitchen is no easy task but working with Kwest gave me the confidence that the job would be well done. Thanks to Marilyn, my kitchen is now the jewel of my home.

**★★★★★ — marc3665, May 2015**

> My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Kitchen West!!  The store has a great layout and they have many samples of all of their products.  They were so helpful and timely in getting samples of the products we requested.  They gave us great advice and recommendations.  My kitchen is so very beautiful and I love to cook and it is a kitchen that works!

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Butler Design, Sept. 2014**

> Working with Marilyn has been such a pleasure. We recently collaborated on a Stevensville residence together where Marilyn contributed her knowledge of and talent for kitchen design. What struck me most about Marilyn is her aptitude for being a true team player. She is accommodating to meet in different places, she stays connected, she is communicative, she's willing to integrate and discuss design ideas, and comfortable with shifting along with variables that occur during a project's process.
