applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 yes they've got it but i didn't try it out coz i find that it's a 'selfish' chaircan only seat one personi like chairs that can squeeze two person, or at least one person and one cat :)maybe you can go down and take a lookalthough the salesperson a bit like vultures, swop in immediately when you enter the shopbut after you tell them you just want to browse around alone, they'll let you be !!

applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 didn't notice the price when i was there either, so not sure if the $39 is for child or adultbut i can say some of the things there really cheap, and the salesman told me they manufacture to sell to others as wellthough i have no way of knowing if it's true or he is bluffing !!

BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 We wouldn't know about this manufacturing bit. But one thing is for sure. If they manufacture to sell to others, then this co should be a big co by then instead of a small furn co considering singapore is very very small leh. Imagine the moolah going into their pockets from the orders required. Though I wouldn't mind having more of that moolah coming into my pocket best. !! didn't notice the price when i was there either, so not sure if the $39 is for child or adultbut i can say some of the things there really cheap, and the salesman told me they manufacture to sell to others as wellthough i have no way of knowing if it's true or he is bluffing :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 coz most of ikea's wardrobe are chipboard / fibreboardwhen you go ikea just remember to look behind the price tag, they list down the material very clearly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Read somewhere tt ikea's cupboards are not lasting... hmm... was thinking if used for putting soft toys/comics shd be okay... or as PC table for their tables. Where's Beng Tuan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Hmm... Due to layout of mbr, we initially wanted to maximise storage by doing a l-shape wardrobe. 6 ft by 5 ft. But we wanted to have sliding doors. Patrick said if l-shape, the 5 ft part is not advisable to do sliding (means whole of 11 ft doing casement type) as the sliding mechanism will be kinda flimsy since its a shorter panel. Now gotta decide wanna still do 11 ft in casement or die die do it in sliding doors or do 6 ft 1st and buy additional storage aka furniture shops. !! *dilemma*Saw somewhere in RT tt there's the ft convert to metre dimensions. Anyone know off hand what is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 to be exact 1ft is 30.48cm, but usually carpenters will use 30cm as 1ft i went to the beng tuan at jean yip building, 50 kaki bukit placeyou can see the flr no. once you enter the buidlingthe salesman who served me was named alvan, very friendly guy who followed up with some mistakes with my bedframe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Hmm, if not enough, you might want to consider doing full height one. Mine is not full height but about 6.4 ft width & almost 7ft in height if i remember right. 'Cos I used the measuring tape. Usually measuring tape has both ft and m/cm thing on it. For L-Shape wardrobe, if you want to do in sliding doors, then i can give you a small suggestion. Don't know if it will be feasible. Maybe you might want to do sliding doors till the corner point of the wardrobe where the rest of the wardrobe will be in casement type doors. I think I saw a similar one somewhere but cannot remember where I saw it before. Edited March 9, 2008 by BunBun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
