Newage ProductsReviews 287

We've been exploring a hutch/bar for our dining area for a while and came across New Age Products on Amazon.com. Further research on the product, I learnt they actually have their own website and a complimentary design service, so I immediately booked an appointment.

Saif Ali Khan (Sr. Sales and Design Consultant) scheduled time with us for a Friday afternoon and patiently worked with us to deeply understand all our needs/requirements. I had uploaded pictures of the current place where I needed the hutch/bar along with dimensions and my floorplan, so he had complete visual understanding.

We first did a video call on Teams from my phone where I did a walk-through of the area where I wanted the cabinets so he could visually see it. We then switched to my laptop, and he shared his screen and rendered multiple designs. While I had originally thought of a pre-configured set, Saif recommended few add-ons taking up the entire wall and making it really what we loved.

We were on a 1-hour consulting call during which we went over 2 different design ideas and within the next few hours he sent me the rendered designs with pricing. After some additional homework I asked him to draw another design for a 3rd design, which he happily did for me and followed up with a phone call and boom! We locked on it, and I went ahead with ordering what Saif recommended. The entire experience and process was just a few hours in all, and despite this being a video/telephonic experience, it was very immersive, interactive and Saif was able to craft exactly what we wanted for our dining area and bar.

Tips:
1. Share the photos and architect blueprint/floor plan with measurements before the appointment allowing designers to prepare for the meeting.
2. Do a video call of the place where you want the work done where you can explain what you have in mind.
3. Do your own research and shortlist SKUs/products and ideas ahead of the meeting to make the design session interactive. (Do some research on products/SKUs you like to make your design session interactive, write down the SKUs (top right of the product page).
4. Pre-configured product have the best deals so always build from a SKU that is closest to what you want and limit number of additions to keep the cost low.
