bluelit3 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) An update: Went to Gnee Hong @ Paya Lebar..tks to Mace's update..they sell mostly chairs and some tables. The tables are mainly aluminum according to the sales person. Din managed to find what we want..but at least now we know where to buy chairs the next time Then we went to Barang Barang. Saw this there. It was love at 1st sight *hahaa* We thought it match what we want. Although the stock is coming only in Sep but we still go ahead to book 1st cause we went several places and din see anything that we like. Maybe is fated Original Price $170. After 40% discount ~ $114. Quite a gd buy Edited June 1, 2008 by bluelit3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
