bergkamp 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 I believe there was a topic in this forum about bad experiences with Silver River. It appears to have been removed by the mod. Normally that rings a warning bell. Still sometimes companies can get bad rep due to just one lousy salesman. Rest might be good. So you could buy from them if your really like the price and design, but be careful and get everything written in black and white before you commit.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissyV 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 was there for window shopping but never buy anything there. mmh...guess it was a nice place to be due to the choices available but some of the items looked to be Made in China. Anyway, I was there cos I was jus around the area. =) Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then i told the sale girl. If like that I go to my neighbor furniture shop and bought. Since the price is the same. No extra transport fee. The sale girl go and discuss with other lady, come back say can waive the mattress transport but other item. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dannywmp 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 I brought 2 TV consoles from them but not delivered yet...so I shall not comment about the quality of furniture first... As for service, I find them Ok leh...I got serve by this middle age man call Danny and I will said he is very patient and knowledgeable to show us around. Actually we bought 3 items -2 TV Consoles and 1 dresser but I told him that I might only buy 2 items as my wife cannot make up my mind whether the dresser is the right one. In the end, we found another dresser elsewhere and went back to cancel the one we order from Sliver river...they accepted our request without further pestering or questioning...in which I find very and professional. I feel comfortable with their service and will surely go back to buy more items if I need any in future. But be remindered their item price before GST and they might charge delivery if you buying single item below certain cost.. Again sometimes I find buying things Hian sway lah...so far I am the lucky one that mostly good shopping experience...hehee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamTheMan 7 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Whew. Good thing I left them the first time I received a defective sofa from them. Thankfully, I've never had a better experience ever since I switched with Bedroom Furniture Warehouse. I recommend shopping at IKEA when you have a very limited budget. If you have a better budget shop at the better stores such as Lorenzo, Cellini, Lifestorey, OM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
