1st of all, i would like to thank Erny for visiting my house himself this evening and explained to me how all this can happened...

he said the standard fillet board should be within 2 inches so the one in the picture is wrongly done... he also said the door is unacceptable and as the results, he will redo the whole set of my wardrobe at no additional cost and will install back in the next few days.

I'm very satisfied with the response given by UD after i made my complain and i think this is just a human error that can be avoided if there's clear communication throughout the whole deal.

Lastly i would like to thank all of you as you had given me alot of advise and views in this case.

Good to know your problem been resolved.

But I will like to suggest UD to address customer complain not wait till post on the forum lol... sad.gif. Perhaps a form from or booklet so that if customer no happy with the installer job, than could direct call to the hotline to solve out ASAP.

first problem surely can be fitted.. In my case, some weeks after the cabinet installation, the floor kind of settling down and causing the uneven surface.. The cabinet door start to senget, but my cabinet installer came and installed a spacer or something, twice in fact, and now the door fitted nicely. So, it is a defect that the installer can't do much in the beginning, but it is also a defect that they can do an adjustment to fix it. So, no reason for not being able to fix this senget door.

Actually my desginer set an appointment with owner on the next day we installed the cabinet but not wait until the owner command here. As I said we still not perfect but we trying the best, not to make mistake, as least not serious mistake. I believe from the 1st page till 90 over pages, more than few hundred good feedback from my customers, but I still can't avoid to make a mistake.. I believe some of the customers who command a good feedback for me, actually they do complain before. But at last they get what they want and happy on the works, then only they will give some good feedbacks for UD. I consider the mistake cause by my workers as my own mistake, so I will try to settle and solve the problem as soon as possible. Thanks for all friends who support me ya. Appreciate that, cheers!

All the while we hear so many good feedback on UD, and now we have bad feedback ... 1 out of 10 case.
but at least it can prove that THIS forum is where we can see the actual story.
if every 1 of us come back only with good feedback, the forum reader may  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif
so bad feedback means there is a GAP for UD to improve!

I think u should go direct to their boss as salesman & installer always give you all the rubbish excuses(nobody would tell his fault)...How can you accept a senget wardrobe door and extra panel to cover 3 inches space?
I think you should ask them to remake it as what's suppose on agreement.

Let's us know what's your outcome? DOn't let's other become a victim

i think there is nothing to scared, afterall we are just human errors is unavoidable ...... yes admit it and rectify it will be the better solutions dun drag until there's no turning points both side also at the loser's side. Technical things have to ask technical ppl, if technical ppl also cannot solved it go one rank higher. Mosts of the drawings on paper will not give u the issues u have in physical cabinets, this for sure ....... Bad or good comments is just meant for sharing and it's healthy too, one cannot expect them to do perfectly all the time. Respects to those admit and rectify the issues raise as soonest the possible time....... wink.gif

seems like nobody answer your questions, maybe i can help ....

High-gloss: is using MDF board as the base material and after spray painted it will give u a glossy finishing. but MDF board is very sensitive to water which is also its main disadvantage beside this it will be very hard to maintain in the longer run coz will scratch very easily and very troublesome to touch up once scratch.

Arcylic: is another type of material which made from plastics materials but higher grade type (dunno the scientificaly name) which can use many types of base materials to produce like aluminum frame, plywood, melamine board aka chipboard, and even mdf but this is rare due to the above issues  icon_idea.gif

So conclusion Arcylic and High-gloss is not the same product !!!!

Anyone can guess Solid wood and solid board is the same??? anyone wanna try to answer this?  whistling.gif

Thanks for clarifying. No wonder the reflection is so different from the acrylic I saw in another kc, bcos they're hi gloss not acrylic! Sien.. Still waiting for quotation from 2 kc.

Ikea selling their solid top (germany) at rm290 per ft run. This is about the same with lg brand, right?

not into IKEA stuff so no comment on the solid top but as long as artificial top it's about the same but only the arcylic contents will be different from each others products. but above 240/ft run will consider higher range solid top and always comes with min 5-10 years limited warranty (read the meaning of LIMITED WARRANTY before buying) wink.gif

I'm still waiting for another 2 kc I approached to quote me so haven't decide. One of them promise to email me by this week, but today is friday already. I'm looking for solid top and acrylic cabinet doors, but if their melamine colors are good might consider melamine abs.

I went to ikea to quote too because I remember seeing posts saying they had used ikea cabinet, so far no problem and service is ok. Maybe in lowyat or other forum. Unfortunately, their quote is over my budget. Has anyone seen the pipe below sink that ikea has? Sorry didn't take a pic but instead of normal pvc pipe, they have flexible hose pipe, something like our washing machine draining pipe but bigger diameter. Better?

The strange part, their show units looks larger and reasonably price, somemore include accesories and their soft close. Donno why when quote it's so different.

Adele, did u email your floor plan to unity? i gave them a sketch last time, and got a reply fairly quick - 3 days, incl 3D drawings wink.gif

i also surveyed IKEA cabinets...loved them... but dont love the prices >_<

actually, outside KC makers also can give the same drawer systems, i believe maybe cheaper than ikea too smile.gif

i've booked my KC with Tim from eleganz design. hehe cant wait for them to come install in a months time.
