spikyfur 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 steelze: yea the price difference really will make you forget the little defects. i hope the quality of the sofa is good, i bet its better than what you can find in singapore. Zullin: yea must make full use of space, or else will look very cluttered. created quite a bit of hidden storage areas.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
