applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 think their refund policy is refund without questions asked even if you want a refund just because you don't like it they'll still give it to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Ah did they ask you if you wanted refund back to your card or in voucher? I never took the refund in voucher, only got the refund back to my credit card which means that the actual billing for the credit card charges minus that refund part.

hobbes187 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Finally my solid top for the kitchen and the MBR toilet is up One more step closer to completion! First for the good part - we are happy with the standard of the solid tops and the colour combi looks pretty good to me... Now for some of the bad parts: 1)The MBR toilet tap is mounted a bit too far away from the basin! Although the water comes out of the tap at 45 degrees, it is still difficult to wash our hands without getting water splashed outside. ID saw the problem and volunteered to change the tap for us to one that has a longer barrel FOC. 2) The kitchen sink was undermounted. I didnt gave ID any instructions on how to mount it and he said that undermounting is nicer, which I agree. But I'm afraid of water seeping thru it so I think I will get him to silicone the area thickly since the mounting is already done. View from kitchen entrance View of 45 degree cooking area MBR toilet - notice the tap mounted too far out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 guess there's no way of mounting the tap coz it's too short got to change to one with longer 'snout' to prevent water splashing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never took the refund in voucher, only got the refund back to my credit card which means that the actual billing for the credit card charges minus that refund part. No they didnt ask. They just gave me the voucher... But its ok cos i spent it all on the same day anyway guess there's no way of mounting the tap coz it's too short got to change to one with longer 'snout' to prevent water splashing ID offered 2 solutions, one is to remove the basin and tear out the solid top for them to redo the hole. Second is to get a new tap with long snout. Judging from the complexities of the work, we took the 2nd option since he's replacing it for us FOC. He even offered to return us the existing tap if we want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 looking at the pix, the basin looks too thick for the water to fall nicely into it unlikely the 1st solution will do any good but your ID very nice, at least he offer to rectify the issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobbes187 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 Went early to my place today to do a defects check as well as wait for the arrival of my Serta bed. Found some defects which needed rectification like poorly done paintwork, 2 scratched laminates and one tile that has a stain that cant be removed. Feedback to ID and he promised they will settle it. Took some photos of the place in the current state... Pretty much completed and now only awaiting rectification and the large mirror to be installed in the living room and we're set! Living hall view Study room yellow wall finally completed Door painted. Laminate was done by ID with leftover wardrobe laminates Kitchen with Ikea Grundtal lights finally working! Nice and cheap lights. The serta bed was delivered right on time. I was impressed by the serta delivery service - they called me three times to confirm delivery, once on monday, once yesterday and once today 30 min before they arrived. They could tell me the exact time they will be arriving and they were right on time. The bed fitted nicely in the room and we were glad there was ample walking space between the bed and the TV console. The room still look very bare Now to find nice bedsheets, curtains, side tables and table lamps for the bedroom!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobbes187 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 hi hi, where did you buy your MBR Bed? nice nice! how much? I got my bedframe together with the matteress at Serta. Comes with the bench, 4 pillows and other freebies. Think the frame is about $500 with matteress purchase. We feel the colour doesnt fit that well with the MBR colour scheme Dunno if anyone will want the frame if I want to sell it If not then we'll think of ways to decorate the frame to match the room colours better.

SoS 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 No problem. The shop is Home Theme Pte Ltd. 3rd floor of Furniture Mall. Think it cost me $399. On hindsight, its a bit expensive for a table its size but its very nice Alternatively you can go to Marina Sq Muji. I saw a few tables that look like glass ones but upon close inspection, they were made of acrylic. No danger of shattering and the sizes they had were the ones I wanted too. Too bad I already bought mine Anyway the Muji one was $199 only. Hi hobbes, I like your coffe table very much, wonder do you have the dimension? Thanks in advance!
