countrylover 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 Overall, we are very happy with the design and workmanship...finishing is great with no major defects found. However, as in every reno, there are some minor problems which we are highlighting to our ID:1. Hinges in one of the drawers in study room not working well2. Keyhole missing in one chest of drawers3. Glass shelving given to us instead of wooden ones in study room4. One pelmet light unusable, as the workers have accidentally discarded the plastic casing with the switch5. Problems fixing down lights in the wall hutch in dining area, as the fitting is wrong (I hope they will not have to remove it and reinstall)My ID is coming down with the carpenter on Tues, hopefully these problems can be easily resolved.

countrylover 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Some updates....ID came down two weeks ago to rectify some minor problems and everything seems to be in order now. She brought the chief carpenter down too and he personally fixed the lights and some electrical problems for us without any complaints. Very nice and humble guy! Overall, very pleased with the customer service and workmanship from Forest. It's been three weeks but we've still not finished packing! At most 70% done .This is what we have in our study room now.Sewing corner with my ironing station and sewing cabinet properly set up.My Arrow Sewnatra sewing cabinet when closed...neat and compact Edited July 11, 2011 by countrylover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

countrylover 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 The door knobs are provided by my ID. I've actually seen decor doorknobs been sold in shops. Try Lovely de Lace at Thomson Plaza or Country Rose shop at Tan Boon Liat Bldg. Else look for suppliers of door knobs, they shd be able to provide. I agree these vintage doorknobs would enhance the country look for our cabinets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
