K's Design World - Review

If there was an interior designer you wanted to avoid this (K’s Design World) would be one. One of the most unprofessional interior designers you could come across. They not only use cheap material which tend to lose their performance but are totally unprofessional. This review is based on my experience of interacting with them over a period of 5-6 months. The organization is led by three people Kavita (Designer), Praveen and their father Suresh. Initially they will contact you for work and will say that they have done work worth 20 Lacs (which I really really doubt by their quality work now) etc. They will show you pictures of the work done (again which I doubt if it was theirs). Following are the issues which I faced while working with them.

1. There is no customer sign off before starting the work. Everything is verbal commitment. And when you call them up for any inconsistency they will say, we never discussed that.
2. No reply to emails. You keep sending them mails after mails but there would not be a reply. Now you are confused if the work you asked for will be done or not.
3. No co-ordination between the carpenters and designer. The designer says something and carpenters end up doing something else.
4. Quality of materials. They probably use the lowest quality material available in market.

Some of the major issues that I faced are following:

1. Initially during design discussions it was committed by them to provide extra racks in wardrobe which was never done.

2. In the TV unit there is no provision provided for connecting devices to the TV. It has to be done in a hard way. They have just left dummy cables to which I need to attach the connectivity cables and pull around. Most pathetic work around provided.

3. During the work their carpenters damaged the house which needed re-painting and filling job which cost me extra 15000 INR.

4. I cannot comment on the quality of ply used for the wardrobes. Almost all of them have a bend. I do not reckon they have used well seasoned wood.

5. The polishing of the veneer work is very poor. Firstly they have splashed paint all over the wall and along with it they have left the places (that cannot be reached by eye like underneath the wardrobe door, backside of draws etc) as is.

6. The quality of steel hinges, magnets and locks used is very poor. Most of the hinges and magnets have already started to rust.

7. The carpenters are very arrogant and do not listen to you. They are very careless while transporting materials. They have damaged the walls and doors.

8. Their work is very inconsistent witch uneven gaps in wardrobes.
