2-Room Bto

Hi @Xiaoyang,

Repositioning the rack like this, does make the kitchen look slightly spacious. I was contemplating this position, now I can be sure I'll do that too.

The only drawback is I need to stand under the rack to use that black rope to adjust the heightof the rack. For safety reason, not suppose to stand under it.

Looking nice but where do you intend to dry your washed dishes/pots/pans? Seems like a waste to use that limited countertop space (where the flower pot is) for a countertop dish rack?

I m considering a over the sink rack or smaller ones that can be kept in the cabinet below when the dishes are dry.

100 plus GST. I called the company which supply the rack to HDB. Cos the IDs/contractor who did not want to take it on were worried that the rack mechanism may be damaged in the removal process. But they have not issue me  receipt till now. Everything is through phone in case u r not comfortable with the arrangement.

BTW, I realised that a lot pple avoid posting names of ID, company and px directly on renotalk I m also following this norm. Is there a rule agst it or a reason for doing so?
