silhouette 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 ikea sub-cons the kitchen installation to another company. heard from my mom they are busy till after CNY, but i didn't ask them personally. the kitchen installers will provide services like cutting holes for sink/hob, installation of taps, etc. the pricelist you can get from ikea or you can call the company to check. if i am not wrong, they charge $25 pfr of your cabinet so my kitchen which is at the moment 12ft, would cost me $300 to fix. personally, i rather learn how to do it so that i can do it next time if i need to. save myself $300. i intend to get another 6ft of wall cabinets too as i can't wait for my carpenters to do it up for me since i need to install concealed switches asap (and my eubiq next tue or thu). for me, i am getting domjos so i don't need to cut a hole. i just have to cut a worktop into 2, so that i can put it on the left and right side of the sink. this task would cost me $200 (info from ikea kitchen staff) if i ask the kitchen installers to do it. what i did, was buy a wood circular blade for under $10, ask my workers to do it er.. i pay my workers $100 per day. cutting the wood takes about 30min inclusive of pasting the laminate and sanding it down. the pasting of laminates were not perfect in my case as they were not skilled in that. but it doesn't matter to me, because i will be putting the part where they laminate under the domjos sink so technically you don't see it at all. take note that if you get other sinks from ikea, most likely you need to overmount it (you can check with the kitchen installer about this) i bought the pragel worktop as they are dirt cheap. $95 for 246cm (or 8ft) worktop. i can replace it easily as and when needed. 1/8 the cost of the average solid surface. Hi Ossify, Thanks for the detailed reply. I went to Ikea and quite am interested in the Pragel range too. My kitchen has a total length of 25ft. so i think the worktop will cost less than $500. The problem though is the cost of installation and cutting of holes. I est the cost of installation to be $625 and the cutting of holes etc will cost $200. How difficult or easy is it to install the top by self? I'm wondering if i can cut cost by asking the company to cut the holes etc while we do the installation ourselves.

I'm wondering if i can cut cost by asking the company to cut the holes etc while we do the installation ourselves. installing the top is easy because you just need to screw your worktop to the cabinet via the pre-drilled holes in the cabinet i think the "difficult" part would be drilling holes in your carpentry to allow your water pipe in. rest is easy, can be done within a weekend. I am still very blur with this OpenNet thing. Mine is supposedly due this March 2010. What actually should I do? wait till they send you the letter in march Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ossify 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 you never ask them when the tv will have stock? seems that you got your tv at a good rate... it's been 4 months and they still don't have stock. if the price is too good, it may not be true anyway, they don't know when the tv will have stock. oh i am also trying to look for a wallmounted washbasin that is 600mm wide, 410mm deep. the ikea one may be 1cm too wide. not sure if it's a good idea to sand it down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
