Hi,

is that dining table top of yours made of marble?

I'm considering buying a dining table, TV console and coffee table, all with marble top, and am concerned whether the marble would break during shipping.

Please advice.

Thanks.

Table top material is 大理石, sometime marble top will get chip off or crack during shipping depend on luck the best way is to asked the forwarder to check when seller deliver to their warehouse and re-enforce it with solid wooden frame and just need to pay a small fee to the forwarder. Chose a good forwarder that will hand it care.

Hi Frankman, do you mind letting me know how much do you spend on the renovation? I'm also looking into renovating my 3-room flat wanna have an idea what's the quote gonna be like. I see that you bought lots of items from taobao, does your contractor have any issue installing them for you? I mean do they do it "willingly" since you bought the materials and they have no chance to mark-up. Thank you.

Hi yeezon, actual cost is $40,308 all in including installation of heater, all santary wares, cooker hod & hood, lighting but excluding purchasing of aircon, lighting, sanitary wares, wallpaper installation and home appliances. Aircon installation are another group of contractors. Please note a big amount of my cost were spent on a big scope of electrical works that wouldn't see in my photo, replacement of all kitchen & master room windows, temper glass sliding door for kitchen and 2 temper glass swind door for toilets.

oh one seater at 999 yuan? that is around $213sgd without adding delivery charges. Sg seahorse sells the 3 seater half leather at $560+ i think. So i think sg is cheaper?
