Hi,

Thanks for your sharing! I did not know the term 'melamine wood' until I read your reply. I went to their studio last week, and was impressed by the quality of the wood. OK, now I have more confidence. I another post saying they got the special price of $260 per foot run at an exhibition. So I'm aiming this price and going to negotiate with them.

Where is the exhibition? Where is their studio?

I also go to have a look!~

melamine, if i remember correctly, was the chemical found in those tainted milk powder and canned foods from China.

remember the babies who suffered after drinking from those contaminated milk powder?

even if the chemical was mildly used to treat the wood, can anybody guarantee that the wood did not absorb any of the melamine during the treatment? and if it was absorbed into the wood, would it den not vaporise into the surrounding air, ie. air in your bedroom where your wardrobe is situated?

i know i wouldn't want it...

I would not worry so much about the toxicity of melamine. It causes damage mainly through tainted food, as explained in wikipedia. It seems to be a popular choice for kitchen top as well http://www.ehow.com/list_6158430_benefits-...n-cabinets.html

Hi,

I got my wardrobe done by amare la casa a year plus ago. My house is located near the sea, due to humidity in my house area, it's kinda headache when it comes to wooden furnitures. Usually after a few months my cupboards will start to have problems surfacing, but for their wardrobes is still doing good. I guess it shouldn't be a problem for humidity.

Their designer quoted me $300 per foot run, i think it's quite reasonable price as it was imported from australia and they're all using melamine wood for the whole system, even the sides, plus full mirror. I remembered i did ask a contractor to quote me for the exact same materials used, but somehow they could not do the 'exactly' same designs as amare la casa, it's like double the prices i'm paying for.

As for the melamine wood, the designer was telling me that it's a chemical-treated wood. Although it was compressed wood but when the designer handed me some kinds of other woods to compare, it really sees the differences. But what really convince me is that they actually show us the internal part of the melamine wood despite it was compressed. Unlike other contractors or companies, covered the whole piece of wood but we does not know what we are really getting. Some contractors told me that this kind of material is more commonly used for kitchen tops in singapore. So i guess it might solve the problems for some whose house are humid.

I have to praise amare la casa for the excellent work done, beautiful workmanship. And the designers for the designs. I would recommand this system to those who are still hunting for wardrobes.

Hi,

Wondering whether anyone engaged Amare La Casa to do the wardrobe before. I came across this at International Furniture Centre and Sungei Kadut. They specialise in wall-system and use the a special compressed wood from Australia for internal shelving. The wood is said to be water resist and fire retardant. The sale person quoted $300 per foot including the sliding doors and glasses.

Want to know the first hand experience for their wardrobe. My concern is that whether it can get wet sometimes since it's wall and ceiling as part of the wardrobe. What price did they charge? And any idea what exactly is the magic compressed wood, where to get more info on this? Thanks!
