kitchen

I'm the one who started the thread. We engaged Amara la Casa to make wardrobes for 2 bedrooms in the end. One year on, we are still happy with what we get. But again, the law of probability applies. Exercise your caution, and watch over when the wardrobes are installed.

Will be getting a sys-3 inverter aircon for our new flat. Read it from <http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/aircon_faq> that ranks the aircon brands as follows. Wondering how much it applies in Singapore context. I'm especially interested in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; any comments from existing users? Many thanks Top Daikin Well designed and quiet. Sadly comes at a high price. Panasonic Again well designed, slightly cheaper but also slightly noisier. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Actron Air Hitachi Fujitsu Middle Toshiba Electrolux Kelvinator Mitsubishi Electric Bottom Homemaker (If you want cool but don't want expense this is the best value option) Add approx $600 for a simple install.

Hi, Want to get some advice on the pro and cons of electric instant water heater vs gas operated one. It seems that gas heater is cheaper (~$128 as listed in Citygas), and can supply 2 shower points. But the water temperature is not as high as the electric ones. Thanks in advance.

The exhibition was at expo earlier this year... I think it is hard to get the price now... Their studio is at Level 3 International Furniture Centre, somewhere in Sungei Kadut. http://www.ifcsingapore.com It's a family business with father (Louis) doing the sales talk and mother (Karen) and daughter (Yina) being the designers.

I would not worry so much about the toxicity of melamine. It causes damage mainly through tainted food, as explained in wikipedia. It seems to be a popular choice for kitchen top as well http://www.ehow.com/list_6158430_benefits-...n-cabinets.html

Hi, Thanks for your sharing! I did not know the term 'melamine wood' until I read your reply. I went to their studio last week, and was impressed by the quality of the wood. OK, now I have more confidence. I another post saying they got the special price of $260 per foot run at an exhibition. So I'm aiming this price and going to negotiate with them.

Hi, Wondering whether anyone engaged Amare La Casa to do the wardrobe before. I came across this at International Furniture Centre and Sungei Kadut. They specialise in wall-system and use the a special compressed wood from Australia for internal shelving. The wood is said to be water resist and fire retardant. The sale person quoted $300 per foot including the sliding doors and glasses. Want to know the first hand experience for their wardrobe. My concern is that whether it can get wet sometimes since it's wall and ceiling as part of the wardrobe. What price did they charge? And any idea what exactly is the magic compressed wood, where to get more info on this? Thanks!
