xvirusga76 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Audrey, cant give rating yet lex, coz all door panels not done yet..we are using their own soft closing, some of the drawers had to use more force to open (like fondue's cabinets), some of them were smooth, FH says we just need to apply some lubricants on the hinges thats all.. i'll give you a rate tomorrow, but we are overall happy for the kitchen at the moment have you started your ractifications yet?

xvirusga76 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Updates for Weekends Installations of cabinets in kitchen, MBR waberobe & shoe cabinet are partially completed over the weekends. My feel is that the workmanship for kitchen is really impressive We are waiting for them to fix up the last cabinet above the fridge. As for our MBR wadrobe, there's probably some miscomm as the corner unit of the wadrobe is not the exact design as our diagram, Alan has requested them to ractify as per our design. (i'll post up the pics soon). workmanship for wadrobe a little "rough" and not as good as the kitchen cabinets thou (my personal opinions). Shoe cabinet also salah dimension, somehow, the measurements were not correct and could not fit into our corner under the living room window, workmanship is ok, except i felt it was too "big" it look a little "cha cha". I'll let Alan know too. The rest of the fittings are not upz yet on Saturday evening, Alan mentioned they should finish up today or tomorrow latest. Currently waiting for my 1) solid top, 2) PD doors 3) remaining electrical works 4) remaining painting works 5) acid wash before HO on Thursday. Crossing my fingers and toes tightly, coz all my furniture and electrical applicances coming in this weekend. Must have FAITH We dropped by IKEA last evening to grab a couple of essentials, eg roman blinds for living room, kids room and MBR, hopefully, it turns out well.. we even bought some kitchen accessories for them to install today. We have decided to only use the s/s for the portion under the dish rack as i like my white wall tiles very much. Will drop by during lunchie to have a quick look.. post up fotos in a while.. updates after Lunchie sadly, nothing will be done today. they said to finsih up ALL carpentry on Wednesday (better finish on that day lorx). Pictures of the 80% installed kitchen cabinets. Edited June 22, 2009 by xvirusga76 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xvirusga76 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 MBR wadrobe & Shoe Cabinets needs some ractifications! The corner L-unit should be not be framed up, the top without any frames to put pillows & blankets. Shoe cabinet too BIG for the corner. I'm hoping they can really finish up all the carpentry ractifications on wed when the solid top comes over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
