We are a luxury real estate development firm in West Palm Beach, FL. We contracted with Schwarzmann for approximately $250,000 worth of cabinets on a $17.75 million property we developed. Despite having been paid in full, Schwarzmann has evaded completion of our project. It has already been over a year since Schwarzmann contracted to supply the cabinets for this home. Moreover, almost every cabinet they actually did supply was the wrong size or color. The owner, Michael Schluetter, NEVER answers his phone, which has required us to personally pay a visit to his office to get status updates on the projects completion. Each time we tracked Schluetter or his cohorts down, we were told that the missing materials and parts were imminently here from abroad. Unfortunately for us, he was lying, and the materials and parts never arrived. Now we are left with kitchen cabinet doors that do not function properly, missing panels throughout the house, and defective panels that require replacement. It seems as if Schwarzmann has absconded with our money and does not have the necessary working capital to complete the job. We are essentially being held hostage by this company on a $17.75mm home, which remains incomplete because of Schwarzmanns utter disregard for the project and lack of service. We are now forced to pursue legal action and highly recommend you avoid doing business with this company and its owner, Michael Schluetter.Re: pics below . . . From left to right:1. Missing a cabinet over refrigerator2. Missing a fill piece between wall and cabinet after the whole cabinet because he did not have the right dimensions3. Upper glass and stainless cabinet profiles 2 3/4” vs 2” ordered4. Cabinet panels too short5. Upper cabinet motorized door lifts do not work and need to be replaced6.

Simply put, Michael and his team at Schwarzmann deliver an exceptional product by way of a service that surpasses expectations. From the initial design phase through install, Michael and his team of (highly) trained professionals execute a seamless process that hinges primarily on a single, key principle: attention to detail. In more ways than one, each phase of the kitchen build-out involved a meticulous focus on the details, including dimension management during design, effective material sourcing, and adhering to best practices for installation. Remarkably, he makes it a point to hold his strategic partners in both Europe and America to the same high standard of work, which naturally results in an extraordinarily high-quality deliverable. All of these variables evidently give way to a kitchen that maximizes the utility of the space while simultaneously showcasing beautiful, elegant, and timeless design. If you want a fantastic kitchen from an incredible team, I very much recommend working with Michael and the Schwarzmann team.
I can’t say enough about the Schwarzmann team. My husband and I were pleased with the entire process from the initial consultation & design through the installation of our beautiful kitchen. Michael & his team were professional & courteous throughout the entire process and kept us well informed about everything along the way! Michael is a true master of his craft and someone we could wholeheartedly trust with our vision!
We recently completed installation of a truly beautiful new kitchen designed by Michael Schlütter of Schwarzmann, LLC. It was a pleasure being guided by this fine craftsman who has a showroom in West Palm Beach in which he displays a broad range of products. He worked closely with us to accommodate the architectural particulars of our high-rise condo in Miami, to meet and refine our personal preferences for cabinetry and counter-tops, to select and purchase a variety of upscale Miele appliances, and to manage budgetary considerations.Michael recommended a general contracting firm in our area (VISION, Miami) with whom we were entirely impressed. Both their staff and Michael’s installers were competent, professional and courteous, and they performed difficult tasks with patience and effectiveness. The result: a stunning addition to our home that is well integrated with the rest of the residence, functional and fun. We are delighted.
We really appreciate to work with Schwarzmann. Michael is a creative person who has the right instinct for special and extraordinary concepts in kitchens and furnitures. He has the same claim for perfection as we do which complements each other perfectly. The communication works very well and we are looking forward to the next challenges.
What a wonderful experience from start to finish. I couldnt have asked for a more innovative and professional team. I loved the design that was provided to me by Michael the owner of Schwarzmann European Kitchens. The design for my Kitchen was perfect. Clean lines, So Modern and beautiful. His team made the designs come to light. Installing the cabinetry in such a clean and expert fashion. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank-you Schwarzmann for the gorgeous cabinetry your work is simply perfect.
We had the pleasure of working on the planning stages of our new kitchen in Palm Beach with Michael Schlütter. We were so happy with the design concept he proposed as well as the choice of materials, colours, equipment, lighting and stone. Mr. Schlütter is very knowledgeable in his field and filled us with confidence. We look forward to the installation of what promises to be a beautiful kitchen.
Good clean place to eat
