Where To Find Strong Sturdy Bookcases

[doubl3a 0]

I bough some bookcases from Scantek before. Pretty sturdy compared with those from Ikea. But cannot remember if have similar design as you require. Go down during the next warehouse sale at Sungei Kadut...at the very least you can get some free snacks.

do they have a website?

I like their designs as well. My parent's place is all using scanteak products. Living room + all 3 bedrooms.

Similar design to this?

get from ikea lah. i remember for 2x4 (grid), it was $199. for 4x4 it was $439 or something. so better get two 2x4 then stack together become 4x4.

i have the same 4x4 one in black. got from ikea. not sturdy. but cheap. quite useful. i never see other sturdy/wooden version of same design from other brands.

If i am not wrong, seen something similar at XZQT. But being XZQT, always overpriced and i think it cost a few K. Not very sturdy also.

Its cost $199 for the 4x4 one and and $99 for 2x4 one @ Ikea

oh yea i paid 199 for the 4x4 one. hehe...sorry for remember wrongly. actually i was trying to get two 2x4 but black color was run out at that moment.

very few furniture shop got bookshelf, only cheap ones from ikea and v.hive. of course there is highend one costs a few k but guess those bookshelves are not for books.

saw some good bookshelves at hotel, restaurant, and library, made of solid wood but not aggressive/fancy design so cost should be moderate. just nice for me but obviously they are custom made by furniture vendor.

nowadays furniture shops only got sofa, bed, mattress...very boring but guess ppl dont have book at home anyway thus no need for bookshelf. no market...hehz.
