h4happy 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Thoug cabinet is also strong, but scare that if id use poor quality of wood for cabinet, then chialet liao. Over years, the wood will turn soft and might have ants.I seem somewhere over here that one forumer got problem with cabinet (without concrete support), the water actually seep into the cabinet and now, his cabinet gonna give very soon. The plywood around the sink area pop out. Anyway, it depends on your id carpenter and the materials your id use.If good type of wood and good carpentry skills, your canbinet (without concrete) will also last for many many years.So, whether one to gamble or play safe is up to individual lah.yap. this is my original intention..although its abit obaing looking BUT it was disapproved by my hubby ..... binzz, where u get ur wall paper? i am going to it get it also if the cost is right.can share ur contacts with me? many thanks!

sparey 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Hi SPAI think option 3 and 4 are the best.Option 1 might spoilt your clothing fast.Gues not much option considering the kitchen area is too small.And if you willing to spend a little bit more, buy lots of hanger.Once wash, hang the cloths near the kitchen window or at the toilet.HAPPYYa heard will spoil clothes faster too with dryer. Really not much options to choose and there is a chance of smelly clothes for hanging as no sunlight to hang dry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparey 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Hello spareyI’ve been using dryers and Happy is rite; dryer or washer cum dryer tends to damage clothes a little faster. Be prepared to pay more for mthly power bill; abt $30 extra based on 3 loads to dry weekly.For opt 1, be prepared to call for servicing more than usual. Note, the capacity for washing & drying are different for 2 in 1; either to unload to drying capacity or not to fully load washing capacity…..BoboGuess really have to opt out option 1 and 2. Thanks happy and bobo_girl for your valuable advise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnnie 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 i bought a dining table+chairs at I-furniture for $1300..previously was quoted $1400+ at IMM. that time placed a $50deposit for that same dining set in Oct 07. Then got refund back cos we thought of shopping more then decide. Make a big hassle to collect the $50 deposit backnow got back the same dining table+chairs. what a merry go round keke!!My Sealy mattress i bought 2 weeks ago at $2699. At expo, its selling at $2522. the same bedhead and mattress!! i need to do something abt this already keke.hmmm..conclusion, true leh, the price at expo was slashed alot for the furnitureone bad encounter..me and my wife likes this sofa so much at "Sentat Trading (S) Pte Ltd". Its actually a 3seated sofa+1seated+1seated sofa (the 1seated sofa is like a rocking sofa, so elegant and nice). We are really keen at buying it, but the salesman is so pushy that makes me feel turn off. he keeps saying that they waived off gst transport blah blah blah. i shouted back that "dont tell me abt gst and transport leh, its not relevant at all, most companies nowadays absorbed these off for customer already". then after that me and my wife was discussing seriously abt buying it, and that 2 salesperson keeps "weng weng weng"-*buzzing* at us, so irritated. i decided to tell them i think abt it, asked them for their address and name cos i really shortlisted this sofa, i may go back to buy at their main showroom. Then the salesperson told me off that "$1300 i also cant afford now, if next time i go to their warehouse, the cost will be $2000+ already". he also say that i buy things even worst than auntie. so undecisive. While we are walking away, he continued to say that "aiya we cant afford to buy this sofa la" .. ( i was telling my wife, we dont buy is becos of the salesperson leh. anyway not shortlisting that sofa liao. go other shop to buy next week )what a day..lolHi Yang Guo, OMG! That's not very professional of the salesman at all. Their Boss should have fire them. Should 'Attitude' worker will only bring bad image for the company.
