We could not be happier with Universal Direct! We purchased a hot tub from Jenny White and found her knowledge and service so helpful. Great communication and lots of pro tips - Jenny White saw us through and made our experience super easy and fun too!

To start the initial designer was 3 hours late to our virtual appointment, then once we started she immediately started to pressure us, due to the order must be in by 4 pm. I should have ran away at that point. We ordered, 9700 bucks worth of cabinets, which once they arrived 27 out of 29 were damaged. They took forever to come and get them, then took them back, repaired them and took forever to return them to us. Once they returned them, there was still minor issues here and there.. I reached out multiple times to request some pieces that were missing and never got a response. Today, Joe

We worked with Andy to place an order for our kitchen cabinets. He was great to work with and extremely responsive to all our questions. The cabinets arrived on time and were great quality for the price point we wanted to work with. We would highly recommend them.
