Welcome to Quintessentials, where it has been said "We
are all about people."Quintessentials is a unique kitchen and bath store which has been open since
1988. It is owned and operated by David Landis a native New Yorker with strong
ties to the community.
Prior
to opening the store, David had many years of experience as a General Contractor
specializing in high-end apartment and kitchen renovations in New York City.
Much of his knowledge comes from being out in the field working with many
different brands and styles of cabinets, plumbing, appliances and hardware
available for renovation projects.
Located on the corner of 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West
Side of Manhattan, Quintessentials is at the epicenter of an area known for it's
beautiful old apartments and ongoing renovation projects. Prior to
Quintessentials' opening, there was no local place to see or purchase the wide
variety of finer items which are perfect for these renovations.
The store began as a place for contractors, builders, homeowners, architects
and designers, numerous in the area, to see what was available for their
projects. As our reputation for knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and substantive
service grew, so did our client base and our need for more space. What started
out as a small store grew into a large, multi-level corner store, across the
street from our original location. In addition, the area we service has grown.
Quintessentials is no longer exclusively local but we can and do ship anywhere.
Our advice and products are available by telephone and through this web site.
Everything Including The Kitchen Sink
Quintessentials is a two level showroom with the upstairs devoted to full
kitchen displays featuring cabinets by Woodmode, Brookhaven, Plain & Fancy,
Lescare, Paris, Stylecraft and Decora as well as Corian, granite and other
counter top materials, appliances, kitchen sinks, faucets, water filters and
many extras.
Downstairs is our extensive bath and hardware department which includes
faucets, accessories, medicine cabinets, shower doors, whirlpool tubs, working
shower head displays, pedestal sinks, console sinks, vanity tops and much, much
more.
We pride ourselves on our knowledge of what is available, what is new and
cutting edge and what is appropriate for your budget and style and on our
ability to get those items to you.
We have a large inventory in our downtown Manhattan warehouse, which is
available for immediate pick up or for your convenience, we offer a delivery
service. We also ship anywhere. Those items that we do not have in stock we can
and will get for you. If you are in need of something fast, we will do our best
to locate it and get it to you with expediency. We pride ourselves on our
friendly, cooperative and knowledgeable service. As was said before "We are
all about people." This is the foundation the store was opened on and it
holds true 12 years later.
Customer Support is Our Top Priority
Unlike many other stores where you can never find a manager, much less an
owner, David is always available in the store or at our warehouse to answer
questions or provide advice to customers, as well as to provide support to our
expert staff.
Quintessentials offers in-house kitchen design services; gives free initial
consultations and estimates by our trained, professional staff; as well as trade
discounts to designers, architects and contractors. We pride ourselves on our
ability to give each and every customer personal and professional service.
Whether you are a professional builder, designer or homeowner, you will
receive the courtesy, information and products you require. We invite you to
spend some time looking through our kitchen and bath departments and talking to
our staff. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, write or jot us
an e-mail. You can expect a prompt reply. We look forward to hearing from you.
