designing what you think you’re going to do on a website and then having it be delivered to look exactly the same don’t always mix and it by far surpassed my expectations

I’m Michelle Johnson I’m from Stratham New Hampshire and we are here in my backyard so let me tell you a little bit about my kitchen which you can see behind me I went on the RTA website and I wanted to come up with a design using the outdoor kitchen that would facilitate
0:30
everything that I really wanted it to be so once I figured out how to use it I actually was able to slide them right into where I wanted them being like okay do I want to try a smaller fridge or do I want to try a smaller grill or do I need two things for recycling Etc
0:45
so I found it easy to spit out the design that I wanted and I was able to share it with the team and have them really kind of start to pull it together to see if it was going to fit and make sense the rendering that I put into the system and the rendering that I received for approvals
1:00
and what you see behind me is identical the color was exactly what I was hoping for the black the gray countertop goes with the color of my house and I was so afraid looking at the the renderings and the designs and this the measurements which were more critical to the team the color was
1:15
definitely more critical to me so it’s exactly what I could have what I would have imagined we love grilling we love cocktails and everything needs a place to go we designed it to have the grill the coyote has worked out really well for us we put in a fridge didn’t realize that we
1:30
actually could use an outdoor fridge as much as we do but it has remained stocked since the day that we put it in um and we actually designed the receptacle for trash to have trash and recycling in the back because it’s important for us to have both the weight of it itself is tremendous it’s
1:45
definitely not something I would have bought at a big box store or anything it’s going to stay here forever it’s going to last forever and so watching them put it together knowing it was kind of our permanent outdoor kitchen but soon to be all-the-time kitchen was very exciting
2:00
the only other real home project I had truly was building this home in general and I feel like one of the pieces missing when some people build a home is a project manager that holds your hand all the way through my project manager at RTA was Phil he was phenomenal from the moment it was coming
2:15
to my house to the day it got dropped off to the day the last crate left what direction I wanted to go how much I wanted to spend I knew all of those pieces to the puzzle as I was going through every step of the process with RTA even though I did it myself you know picked everything wanted
2:30
myself assembling most of it as needed on my own I think having the project manager and someone to guide me through the way even from the time it shipped to the time like I said the last box left and it was assembled on its own is invaluable to anybody that does a project of this size I
2:45
love to entertain I love to entertain and I love to be outside so in this pergola we’re sitting in right now having that right here for us to do cooking family dinners every Sunday or having my girlfriends over or having an environment where I can just socially entertained this is quite a
3:00
social neighborhood we like our end of the street a little bit better so when they come over we can sit and watch movies we can have some food we can cook we can eat serving everything over there it keeps it nice and convenient for me and then easy to access everything we need if you are an outdoor person and you like to have some entertaining and you want to be able to experience you know
3:15
living and being a part of you know the beautiful yard you have um or the home that you have but on the outside cuz we always live inside I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RTA for someone like that I would hope they would ask me to help do some of the design because that was super fun but I
3:30
would recommend it not only for the product but everything like I’ve said through the process of design ordering project management colors and delivery and install it’s not a cookie cutter design or something that I could pick out of a regular Big Box store and just plop it back here
3:45
it would be here and it would work but it would be probably have a short shelf life where I feel like this is in our home and permanent piece of it forever so for that I would highly recommend RTA
