IKEA shopping trip

we got our things pretty much in IKEA... which attracts many comments like "ikea's stuffs are nice but dont last" "actually ikea is not tt cheap and quality not good" "i bought ikea things but spoilt very easily"... but we still prefer the stuffs there after shopping around in the furniture malls...

list of stuffs as below,

1. wardrobe for master bedroom

2. wardrobe for common bedroom

3. two suspended book cabinets

4. one simple plain bookcase

5. headboard and queen bedframe

6. two bookcases with glassdoor for one

7. daybed frame

8. 3 seater sofa

9. footstool

delivery time was supposed to be 2 to 6. however, they came only at 530 and they realised that they had to assemble all for us cuz we paid for assembly! the whole delivery and assembly only ended at 10! who asked them to come so late even though we had so much stuffs? especially the queen bedframe which was last assembled... they were in such a rush and they really did a quick job. i hope nothing bad will happen...

the headboard was chipped at one side... but we decided to leave it alone cuz it will be covered... if not, have to go through the whole ordeal of changing it... but, they delivered wrong colour for our table so will have to change it... and our dear bookcase dun seemed too stable as well... so when they make another trip down to our house, gotta ask them to put brackets on top!

*its becoming more and more like a home now~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Hi RAV

You have a very nicely done for your house!

Hey, your living room ceiling looks very high!!

Hi Happy,

Thanks for ur compliment...

My wardrobe is nothing special lah... guess if u go ikea walk walk will surely spot the same / similar one initially wanted to custom make it but after much thought, we just settled it with ikea... much cheaper, inside nicely laminated, and happen to be able to fit into the space... but it's not solid wood or plywood though, hopefully it will last n hopefully the 10-yr guarantee by ikea really means it... also, use recycled material save the earth!

My bro's room wall cabinet is also from ikea, the product name is EFFEKTIV, there are 2 pieces, as shown in the pic, each is $160 ($90 frame + $70 glass door)... u can choose not to have the glass door too... if u want ikea ppl to assemble for u, it will cost 5% of the price, and 1 cabinet needs drilling of 2 holes ($4 per hole, or FOC if u can DIY ) this thing is also 10 years guarantee, dunno how true it is, and again hopefully it will last

You are the 2nd person saying my living room ceiling looks very high, i tot all units standard one?

Nice nice leh. Think I will pop by Ikea one of these days to see see look look. Which Ikea is bigger/better? Tampines or Alexander?

[Ravenski 0]

Hi NiVleK,

Would suggest you pop by Ikea Tampines because it is bigger and more stock I guess, but not so accessible unless got car... somemore Ikea Alexandra is having major renovation (even the restaurant!)

Hi RAV

Actually my wife also think the same.

Buy our own wardrobe at least we can see the finish work.

If custom make, you might not know whether the outcome is good or not.

And I can say is that buy in wardrobe or cabinet or whatever is much better as the design is good.

Btw...u stay in blk25b???

My wife told me to wait for gss!!! Means no sofa after move in! Sit on the floor!

Possible to post a pic of your L-shape kitchen with the door open?

I love to see how the internal of the kitchen is constructed, especially the part that two side join. (where your water bottle is). Not sure if i explain clearly.

Geez, i am not at the house right now... but will try to explain in words...

I think you were trying to ask about the space underneath the corner area? its not continuous... to access into the corner area, have to open the door which is under the sink and move left in... its not possible to access that area from the other door which is nearer to the hob as it is covered with the wood plank...

Sorry if u dun understd my explanation... maybe rav can post a pic for u to see~
