Furniture Post #2

Due to our shoestring budget, furnishing was one component we agreed to save on.

Through our years of rentals, we've always used second-hand furniture that were bought online.

There's an unexplainable thrill of buying stuff at such cheap prices that always compensate for not having something new.

Our 2nd pre-loved item for our new home:

4 tier drawer cabinet (Birch Wood) from Switzerland

Original price: S$1,000

Purchased At: $80

This piece was brought here by the seller's Swiss husband.

We self-collected it over the weekend, me thinking that it was a light piece.

Ended up being super heavy and we had to deploy our goods trolley.

We like it for its simple streamlined design and its surprising solidness.

LOVE great deals.

Wah Lilithfiend, the unit looks like new, is it a tv console? $80 is really good buy wor

Hey I like to check with you whether you know where can I buy BLUM hingers for cabinets? Something like a shop in Kaki Bukit selling them? Never pay attetnion at that time while some renotalkers were discussing! . Thank you.

hey both, this was a very lucky find on gumtree.sg. i drop in there every once in a while and luckily for me, the ad for this was posted up two hours before. i was very kan cheong to view and secure it so quickly made arrangements to view on the same evening. confirmed on the spot once i saw it..(and managed to get a $20 discount somemore )

besides gumtree, other sites i go to are ebay and craigslist. and curryqueen, you're right..half the time, the stuff on there are really crappy. just hv to wait it out..something good will come along!

Hi infinite

I believe you must have done a price comparison between these and Blum at Ubi? May I ask what is the difference like?
