i got a Signature kitchen coupon (worth RM10K) for sale, price RM8,500. anyone interesting?

please pm me if interested.  voucher.pdf ( 805.87k ) Number of downloads: 125

till now i haven't decided on the cabinets which i signed months ago. initially went for those light yellow colour melamine cabinets with black glass..kinda like ikea style..now re-thinking whether it'll look nice o not..

ya, nothing about material, is only what kind of design

Get some color that are trend neutral. I think white, black, mirror finish, light grey are good trend neutral. Too colorful you have to match with correct furniture.

Hi Erny,
From your wood concept KC, what kind of wood is use for the surface? and what is the price of using Wood as the surface compare to using Granite?

Thanks.

Yo Mr. Looi, Granite! I cannot take off days no more as I just got in this job, and I travel as well on weekdays.

How now brown cow? >.<

Hi Erny... My house will be completed in jan 2013. Will it be too early to ask for ur advice? Haha

Usually how long it take to complete kitchen cabinet in a house? I will get my house key in Jan 2012 and I'm planning to move early Mac 2012 so wondering how long it take to finish full kitchen cabinet including installing hood, hub, sink etc.

need some advise here on my kitchen quotation...

18' L-shape cabinet with granite top - RM6900
9' L-shape hanging cabinet - RM4200
3' x 6' island with granite top (excl fittings) - RM3900

are they expensive? please advise...

You have to tell us what's the material for your kitchen cabinet then we only can give advice.

Melamine?
Acrylic door?
crystal glass door?
laminated finished?

There's too many different material in market, so it's hardly to judge whether it's expensive or not.

according to him, it is laminated with formica without any other special features....

Hi all,
Got a quotation from my contractor for kitchen cabinet:
Wet kitchen:
12ft concrete table top with bottom cabinets
Dry kitchen (L-shape):
15ft top cabinet and bottom cabinet
Full height cabinet for fridge / oven / microwave
15ft solid surface table top

Total is 11k.

Think the materials for the cabinets is supposed to be plywood mica laminate.

Is the above quotation ok?

anyone heard of CLS Kitchen @ Kota Damansara?

They quoted me quite cheap, I am not sure whether they are reliable. Please share your opinion.

Appreciate your sharing and opinion.

Erny, can you share your contacts with me ?

i hope this would help:

Most Kitchen Cabinets and Wardrobes (custom made) these days are all made from board. Earlier days (maybe even some carpenters now), a lot of solid wood (mostly just for doors) and plywood were used. Last time wood is cheaper than now. That's why.

Most common wood base materials being used in kitchen cabinets and wardrobes are:

1. Particle board, or known as chip board. There are quite a few types of chip board, ex. better water/moisture resistance in green, fire retardant in red. You can search for more info online.

2. MDF (medium density fiberboard) is a better quality material compared to particle board, due to it's density. Normally it is 4 times higher. MDF is categorized in different classes, E0.5, E1, E2 etc. E0.5 obviously is the best because it contains very little formaldehyde, thus no smell no eyes irritation and no harm to our health.

3. Plywood, categorized in different number sheets of wood being blued together, ex. 3-ply, 5-ply or 7-ply. Equal strength as MDF, and majority of the small scaled manufacturer or carpenter are using this material.

The above mentioned are just the base material, however, they need to dress up neatly, by what we called the finishing. In the market, there are a number of materials commonly used for the finishing.

1. Lamination
a) Melamine - It is actually like a sheet of plastic paper. When it is pressed under high heat and high temperature, it becomes very tough and durable. That explains why laminated floors are becoming popular because of free from scratches and easy to take care. You can do with any wood patterns/grains that you want at the lower layer, it is almost like the real thing!
b) Veneer - A thin slice of wood from the tree trunks. It offers the most realistic wood grain, and also it can be painted into different colors. Undoubtedly, it is natural finishing but prone to being scratched. It needs to be taken good care and might need to varnish/wax when damaged.

These are just some of the information that I am sharing here. Actually, the market is too big to know it all. Sometimes, we might get confused over the terms being used by different manufacturer or merchandiser, but never hesitate to ask for in-depth details. Be a smart consumer.

In my opinion, what is more important in making the kitchen cabinet or bedroom wardrobes in our own house is QUALITY first (then only design). Better quality means long lasting products. It saves my money just for one time buying only, and will last for as long as possible. As for the design, do you see any different from most of the kitchen or wardrobe in the market? NO! Pretty much is all high gloss (glass, mirror, solid one color). It will get bored eventually. Unless, you are able to find something that stands out from the others.

Thanks for reading.

Just to share some nice wardrobes.

very well explaination. Its all about the details of a cabinets.. Another things will be the accessories.
How good qualities of your kitchen cabinets or material even need a good qualities of accessories example like hinges and drawer system.
Trust me, dont even get a china made system to cut ur budget. Its all about one time pay, one time stress.

during exhibition, i went around asking CLS, dans de design etc

Still unity gives me the best price..

Hi kucingfight....did u do your whole hse, meaning KC, wardrobe, tv cabinet and shoe rack...

how much best price from UK?

Yes is cheap but later on a lot hidden charge..ask u add this and tat....like install the sink, soft close, handle...
and they just give u total amount without quotation printed rite? if u want printed quotation, pls pay RM200 deposit.
if u want design(hand drawing only) then u need to confirm the order.

So if u try dropby to Erny/Unity Kitchen, u will never regret to travel to kajang....
regarding workmanship...i think u can get a lot commend from here...

some ppl recommend Steve too, his price is cheaper than CLS...workmanship also top condition.
