bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) crypaz / bleucheeze, disappointed with the table quality. The table top will pop-up when there is water on it, i.e. have to remove water quickly else the wood will pop-up. So we planned to ask someone help to customize a glass top to put on top of the table or temporary use a table clothes first.I believed this table was not made by solid wood .. Oh dear... sounds like laminate. How much did the table cost? Edited December 4, 2012 by bleucheeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crypaz 1 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 For my case cause mine is white top table i buy those thick thick transparent plastic cover from market think it's about $8 per meter to cover the whole table... cause white gets dirty easily...then on top of it i put table cloth....so it's like another layer of protection.

eekenji 3 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Oh dear... sounds like laminate. How much did the table cost?Think is something like chip woods, the table cost 596.02 after discount... Heard from my colleague, Franc Franc still selling it inside their store. The design looked good to me, but didn't realize the quality was not good.For my case cause mine is white top table i buy those thick thick transparent plastic cover from market think it's about $8 per meter to cover the whole table... cause white gets dirty easily...then on top of it i put table cloth....so it's like another layer of protection.Yeah, white will get dirty easily, but white color table top looked very nice.I saw one white color table top with wooden legs in Star Living furniture shop, looked very nice ...I have ordered a zakka style table clothes online, but haven't delivered to singapore .. hope it will match well with the table.Consider painting over it? Otherwise to put plastic clothes won't be nice.Will think about this option, may be just paint with a transparent wood paints to protect the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eekenji 3 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 We placed some books storage bought from Franc Franc. These books actually are made by wood and can store things inside .. Planned to put stuffs that often need to use, e.g. nail cutter, tapes ..This was another item I bought online - the clock, I choose the better quality one .. so ended up also not really cheaper than what are selling in Singapore.
