Makanology 29 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 Haha post-renovation cleaning up is REALLY scary. We are either vacuuming, mopping or magic-mopping or sometimes all 3 steps daily! Earlier someone commented that I have lost weight! Housework is the new form of exercise now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jus4fun 4 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 My built-in console is abt 40cm deep but my tv is wall mounted so I think 53cm for tv stand (if tt is wat u r doing) seems ok. Plus 放了 other things like speakers, etc shd look ok le.. If a TV console is wat u bou, it cant b too far frm the std la.. so dun worry bro! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality's there but too bad they don't offer delivery and installation services. Anyway if you are not in a hurry, you can try Hommage. I saw their catalogue, they have quite a wide selections. I have gotten mine there. Delivery will be on 22nd June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
