I can't visualize. Do you mean that the doors depend on the top track support because there is no bottom track? Won't there be scratches to the floor, since everything rest on the floor?

Aluminium frame is not about sturdiness only, it is about the "special mechanism" that allows the sliding doors to shut completely so that it reduce the amount of dust to go inside the wardrobe. You will not see gaps at the sides of the doors. This is the advantage of doing aluminium door frame.

Are you doing your wardrobe from Kevin?

not sure. Probably there is a slight gap. Works for some of the kitchen sliding doors with top tracks only. My sister-in-law stays in condo and the wardrobes were provided. She has parquet floors. However, there is definately no bottom base, so if you think of that, then probably the usable area is more because the height is now all the way from floor. I think top tracked is more expensive but some people say without bottom track, less dust get trapped in the bottom track.

I am quite skeptical about this kind of cabinet concept. Though it looks nice without bottom track, but for long-term usage, the top track may not be able to support the weight of the sliding door, and eventually the sliding doors will drop off from the cabinet. It all depends if it is a full length door, or just a short door height, let's say example, 3ft sliding door. The top track mechanism may not be able to support a full length wardrobe door, considering the height of a condo house, definitely the wardrobe is taller than our HDB's. Maybe the door won't fall off from the wardrobe, but somehow the doors will start to slant out and bend the top track mechanism, then the door will drop off from the top track. If the sliding door is a short length door, then it's okay. The material is lighter. Maybe in long-run, the doors may start to slant, but not to the extend that it will fall off from the cabinets. This applies to glass sliding door without bottom track. This concept is similar to PD door, but PD door is light and plastic, unlike wood or glass sliding doors, they are heavy.

120+5ft = $600 for TV console set?

You cannot compare custom made and ikea material. Ikea things are not cheap either. You can't be mounting the ikea tv console to the wall yourself right? We can't find tv console we like, probably because nowadays people like to custom made tv console, so there are not many tv console variety for sale. We are asking for quotations on custom-made tv console. Our TV has to sit on the floor till the new tv console arrives

Hi May. Yes, my camera cannot justify the nice effect of the bird cage. It definitely creates the ambience if place at a quiet corner of the house. It's easy and cheaper to DIY the pendant light. You should try it.
