Greycat 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Now the problems discovered in the kitchen.....1) Top cabinets incredibly little storage space becuz we had a beam running across the top of our kitchen, hence it ate into the space. Didnt expect to eat sooo much lor. See picture below, the top top row of top cabinet can oni put mugs manz....2) Bottom cabinets not so bad but becuz we di-siao-siao, wan nice nice suspended off the floor cabinets, so end up with little storage space at bottom too....Siao liao lah....my PILs bght a lota pots n pans (slow cookers) for us liao.....3) The supposedly pull-out sauce cabinet. Bght this expensive sauce rack frm Songcho , rem I paid extra somemre for smethg extra to make it pullout cabinet. But hor, carpenter uncle made it a normal swing open cabinet, den the sauce rack pull out wan.....piangz....neat and nice kitchen...like the clean feel... Thanks ah kiat!
