As a kitchen designer and remodeling contractor, I have been impressed with their quality and professionalism. **★★★★★ — Janis Stamm, Nov. 2016** > The design and workmanship are excellent. The finished project is everything I wanted. The kitchen works when it is open and when it is closed I have a lovely living room/office. My only issue was that the kitchen unit was shipped in without adequate directions for assembling. Since I live in an very rural area, the workmen doing the assembly had never seen anything like it. This caused some assembly problems, but all was figured out without much helpful input from YesterTec. **Comment from YesterTec Design Company:** > Hi Janis, > Thanks for your review and the images you sent us. Sorry you had trouble with the install, I wasn't aware of it. We do have instructions for the assembly and perhaps they were not packed by mistake. We never know who is going to be installing the kitchens, so a short conversation with us and the installer prior to starting is a good idea. An entire kitchen in such a small space does take some coordination and we do understand that without some guidance, the installation could be more difficult. Good to hear that it is meeting your needs though. As these were designed for rooms that need to be more.. and less... than a kitchen, your living room/office is a perfect application! > Take care and thanks again! **★★★★★ — Yancey Howell, Nov. 2016** > I am so pleased with my YesterTec mini kitchen. > Such quality workmanship and perfect for the limited space I had to work with. > I have nothing but praise for this great company. > Caroline from Mississippi **★★★★★ — pasa2ps, Nov. 2016** > Excellent and thorough from beginning to end. They communicated often and brought my thoughts and wishes into a free standing armoire style kitchen including sink, refrigerator/freezer, hot plate , microwave and all electrical with plenty of storage and a beautiful marble countertop. Couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — ddanneja, Nov. 2016** > I had a space that required a mini kitchen so I did some research online and found YesterTec Design Company. I cannot praise David enough, he was great to work with and the workers who installed it knew exactly what to do! My stove also broke down recently, so I reached out to him again and was able to order a new one immediately. **★★★★★ — Helen Mara, Nov. 2016** > OMG David Beer is by far the very best business person my husband and I have ever met. It goes without saying his product is the best; quality, impeccable workmanship, functional, durable, I can go on and on. Besides being a total professional, David, is knowledgable, courteous, dependable, incredibly polite, genuine, trustworthy, and a true pleasure to do business. His product is high end, deservingly so it's worth every penny. **★★★★★ — Mary Lou Kantz, Oct. 2016** > 25 words aren't enough to tell you how pleased I am with this min kitchen, I got the one with the sink, microwave and the freezer and refrigerator drawers.. I got it for my Master Suite living room and it's a show stopper with everyone that sees it. > dealing with David Beer was a pleasure from start to finish, very knowledge about his product, what space it needs and where the electrical and water lines should go - I'd deal with him again with pleasure. \*Photo showing inside temporary missing the refrig drawer cover. **Comment from YesterTec Design Company:** > Mary Lou, > Thanks so much for your review, great job. **★★★★★ — hwl7, Dec. 2013** > The kitchen installed by YesterTec is everything we wanted. As a cook, I have all my needs met. It is easy to navigate, the workmanship is impeccable. The drawers, cabinents, and space for appliances is attractive, practical, functional and extremely durable. I highly recommend this company for anyone desiring warmth, and ideal cooking area second to none. The compliments when visitors come to our home are incredible. Hats off to this wonderful company for providing us with the kitchen/cabinetry of our dreams that will last our lifetime. **★★★★★ — Amanda Beer, Dec. 2013** > Yestertec Design is absolutely professional, creative, and accommodating. The pieces that I ordered were affordable for the high-quality and absolutely beautiful. Not only was my order on time but it was delivered and installed with courtesy and care. I love my refrigerator cabinet and granite-topped buffet! I will recommend Yestertec Design to anyone looking for a custom-made, high-end kitchen! **★★★★★ — heidikane123, Jan. 2013** > Yestertec Designs has a unique product that made our kitchen memorable. They incorporate kitchen functions into individually styled furniture. It made our kitchen re-model look unique. Countless guests have remarked about how nice the kitchen looks. I will add that the pieces are well made of solid wood. Drawers slide easily and are very deep. Additionally, the pieces are made with safety features, like electronics that lock the doors that cover the appliances so that you cannot run them when they are closed, to prevent heat build up. In the five years that we have had the pieces, the electronics have functioned flawlessly and the finishes look as though we just had them installed. > > The company delivered the pieces on time and helped us to design the pieces to fit our space. Customers can choose the types of wood and the materials (like the countertop which can be wood, marble, or in our case, soapstone.) They even painted the metal screens on the doors to match our decor. > > I would hire Yestertec again (and again, and again!) and hope to do so when we begin another renovation, since their pieces are also adaptable to smaller workspaces, like a wetbar on an indoor porch or entertainment room. I can't think of a single thing that we didn't like. **★★★★ — Jo Samuels, Dec. 2012** > This past year I hired Yestertec to help me design and build a large, freestanding kitchen cabinet with "roll top middle" section to serve as a coffee center and baking prep center for my kitchen. Even over the phone and through e-mails, we were able to agree on a design, materials, stain, trim and time frame for its construction and delivery. When my installer had difficulty making the roll top stay in place, David and his team were able to come up with a solution that fixed the problem. Even when there were a couple of blemishes as a result of crating problems, these were resolved to our expectations promptly. Overall, our experience creating this cabinet with Yestertec Design has been a positive one. **★★★★★ — andrepont, Dec. 2012** > I was looking for a small kitchen set up to put in on the first level of the house. I didn't want the" motel looking unit" but didn't know what else was available. Some how I came across this business on the internet. In such a small space (5 1/2 feet long) I could have a drawer refrigerator, microwave/oven, disposal, drawer freezer (with ice maker) two burner stove top, spice rack, 3 small shelves and a drawer dishwasher After a phone call to David Beer I knew this was just what I was looking for. They were very patient with me and explained everything thoroughly. Things I hadn't even thought about were explained! The paperwork that came with the unit was very self explanatory. Putting the unit together was time consuming but it is very well engineered with everything well planned out. It is of exceptional value. Working with people who know the product so well is refreshing. When we had questions, David was only a phone call away and always very willing to talk us through our situation to a positive conclusion! ## Selected projects - [Mission Style Unfitted Craftsman Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-style-unfitted-craftsman-kitchen-pj-vj~533976) - Location: Chevy Chase, MD - Photos: 4 - Description: Furniture, instead of cabinetry can be styled to compliment many styles of homes, including this excellent example of the craftsman style showcased in this turn of the century Arts and Crafts style home near Washington, DC. - [Stealth Kitchen Modules for open plan kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stealth-kitchen-modules-for-open-plan-kitchens-pj-vj~124017) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: Stealth Kitchen Modules enable built-in, open plan kitchens to soar to a whole new level of design!
