Anna did a fantastic job designing the layout, incorporating our need for extra storage space, and giving it an elegant and efficient look. AKO design team followed a tight timeline that included measuring, reviewing designs, and making final adjustments before ordering the cabinetry, which was critical for our overall renovation project. We were concerned about the lead time because the kitchen cabinets were ordered from Italy but everything was delivered within the promised time frame. The crew did an amazing job with the installation, and they came back promptly for some minor adjustments later down the road. Thanks to everyone on the AKO design team for creating a beautiful kitchen! **Comment from AKO Design Center:** > Alon, Thank you for a wonderful review it was a pleasure working with you and we hope you enjoy your kitchen. **★★★★★ — Igor Ladyzhenskiy, Oct. 2017** > Working with AKO Design Center was a pleasure from start to finish. As first time home buyers taking on a gut renovation, it was an enormous relief to work with a company that is as professional, hard working, committed to customer service, and knowledgeable as AKO. We used AKO for our custom kitchen and for custom built in closets throughout our apartment and could not be happier. From the first meeting with AKO's in house designer to the installation process, every member of their team worked closely with us to deliver what we wanted and to provide an excellent, high quality product. I would not hesitate to work with AKO for any future project in our home, and would recommend them without reservation to future home buyers. **★★★★★ — Jake Hansen, Oct. 2017** > Recently I worked with the design team from AKO Design Center to completely refurnish my living room and dining room from top to bottom. From start to finish I experienced total professionalism and courtesy, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Beautiful contemporary furniture, fast delivery and great customer service all around. **★★★★★ — Igor Zaslavskiy, Oct. 2017** > Professional service with quality staff and products, guys provide variety of the newest most recent interior design ideas available currently on the market. **★★★★★ — Alena Krasnytska, Oct. 2017** > AKO team was absolutely amazing to work with. We built a new home and needed help with full interior design. With the help of AKO we were able to bring all of our ideas into reality. The team was very professional and full of creative ideas. They payed close attention to detail and were able to recreate our new home into a contemporary stylish living. We were impressed by the high level of skill from the team and the unsurpassed quality of the products. They've designed everything from the color of the wallpaper to our kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Their knowledge and advice on design, colors, etc was top notch. At the end our new home came out beautiful with a huge thanks to the amazing team at AKO. **★★★★★ — carmela\_fridman64, Sept. 2017** > My husband and I were renovating our house and found Ako design center. This place has beautiful Italian furniture that not only looks good but is also practical and affordable for what you get. We came in with some general ideas of what we wanted and the designer was very patient with us and helped steer us. We ended up with our dream home...a kitchen and closets to die for! **Comment from AKO Design Center:** > Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to work with you and your husband.

AKO's designer, Anya, created kitchen layout and design. She was very attentive to incorporate all our comments and wishes. From prints to the final delivery and installation, the process was very smooth! We are enjoying our kitchen very much. Thanks a lot for the excellent work! **Comment from AKO Design Center:** > Nataly, we are so glad you are happy with you kitchen. Enjoy it!

I would highly recommend David and AKO Design Center and will come back to work with them in the future. **Comment from AKO Design Center:** > Thank you, we are glad you are happy with your kitchen. We look forward to working together again whenever you need us. **★★★★★ — Igg Zee, Sept. 2016** > When we've started looking for a new kitchen, we've had three things in mind: look, quality and affordability. Over the course of month or more we've looked through a lot of options, got through a lot of ideas and search through bunch of companies. It was really time consuming thing. However. when we've found AKO Design Center, we've found all three things in their product. The modern style kitchen we've purchased from them looks very good, it has a few magic corners' mechanisms which are flawlessly working. The whole kitchen from A to Z is constructed from the good quality materials, and the price was very good to compare with other options we had. We're glad we've purchased our kitchen from AKO Design Center, and we hope that will use this company again once we have a need. ## Selected projects - [Custom Italian Kitchen -Sheepshead Bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-italian-kitchen-sheepshead-bay-pj-vj~2056939) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 9 - [Custom Italian Kitchen - Sheepshead Bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-italian-kitchen-sheepshead-bay-pj-vj~2057616) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 1 - [Custom Italian Kitchen - White Plains](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-italian-kitchen-white-plains-pj-vj~2057606) - Location: White Plains, NY - Photos: 3 - [Custom Italian Kitchen - Staten Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-italian-kitchen-staten-island-pj-vj~2057498) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 10 - [Custom Italian Kitchen - Bay Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-italian-kitchen-bay-ridge-pj-vj~2057442) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 10 - [Cattelan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cattelan-pj-vj~1652533) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 57 - [San Giacomo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-giacomo-pj-vj~980143) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 93 - [Calligaris](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calligaris-pj-vj~980399) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 619 - [RENDERING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rendering-pj-vj~603416) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Natural Bedroom Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/natural-bedroom-design-pj-vj~2759172) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: The client asked to redesign their master bedroom with a light natural feel with maximum room for storage and books.
