We uses classic for our kitchen and we're thinking of other shelves for our living area... so thinking if we can try your contractor I have had a very very good experience with this carpenter. Allow me to ventilate. . . (i) We had some issues with Citygas for the installation of the gas piping. It was the coordinator Simon who called me to let me know what is happening, when it is not exactly his responsibility. Just that he had to delay the installation of the cabinets. My ID did not tell me. (ii) When we had the wrong WC (had a straight back and prevented water pipes from running behind it, my IDs said chances are we cannot exchange because the boxes have been thrown away. Simon happened to be around. He said, "why don't you call? if you don't try, you won't know.' I called. And hold and behold! Hoe Kee agreed for us to exchange 2 WCs!! And did not even charged us for delivery for the pick-up! (iii) Citygas wanted to activate the gas and realised that the nozzle was not suitable and asked us to change. I was dumb and thought that I should consult the carpenters on what it was. Simon explained that it had to do with the hob people, and suggested I called them. The matter was resolved with the hob pp. But Simon actually called me back to find out if i have settled the problem! (iv) Our fridge's top screw got stuck with the top-hung cabinet. We thought they had the measurements wrong. We called and then realised that we were the ones who made the boo-boo. Buzz told them to leave a 1.8m gap for the fridge. Nonetheless, Simon asked for a pic and said that it's only a few mm shy. He would come and see what he can do about it. (v) Not sure about other carpenters, but this carpenter also patch up little grooves caused by nails and staplers. Talk about excellent service! I am really impressed and satisfied!

francaisco 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 Ah-HAH! I was just debating how feasible it is to have integrated basins and cabinets! Do the cabinets feel solid? Hey you bought the basins already? I bought almost the same type, but its a basin together a scrub board by the side. It's also from HOE KEE and cost about $350. 2 years later, the legs all give way. The LEGS are **** lousy, its screwed on with 4 long screws. The rest of the metals are just cheap metal which disintegrated. In the end, I have to go DIY shop and buy 8 fridge cubes to hold up the whole structure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigeyedfish 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 I just realized that your chimney hood's backing is glass. I wanted that for my house and my contractor said that because my hood is the chimney kind, it's impossible. Now I know I've been smoked. My kitchen has glass backing for the sink side and wall tiles for the hob side. Now, I am beginning to wonder whether the glass backing is tempered glass or normal glass.
