hi forumers, can i ask..why not do our own table top (cement + tiles) rather than use all these chipboard and granite table top etc..

at least no need worry about heat and water resistant thing. sure can wipe off

Erny, was wondering when can u get back to me on the quotation? thanks

lowlowc, so in the end which kc supplier did u go for..what kind of top and cabinets did u select?

hi lowlowc, i went to quote ikea cabinets also.

my wallet not enough money for their cabinets la. so expensive!!!

yup.

and i also wish unity design can give me a quote for cabinets. i don't know why it always have to post in forum before got any new reply...

serofax..nope. i left pm(s)..
think i'll pay ur kc installer a visit then

lowlowc, i went to dformat showroom before oso. My friend did his cabinet and one breakfast top with dformat, he said installation was smooth and so far everything OK so i paid them a visit.

ya..same thing lor, nobody to quote me, but there was an indian gal took down my details and measurement, and i think about 6-7 days later i receive a quotation via e-mail. The person also called me to inform me sent the quotation. But the quotation was way pricey

Anyway, I signed up kitchen cabinets with them dy..just only at perfect living. I'm crossing my fingers! Hope everything turns up perfectly and smoothly just like my friend. But he didn't sign up during fair.. so..

was wondering, when we say "modern kitchen cabinet', melamine cabinets consider part of modern kitchen cabinet?

was thinking of mix and match melamine with 3G doors..

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..

Dformat is installing my cabinets now..I'm doing white and pink cabinets!!

Lowlowc, ended up u didn't use Ikea's arr... how is ur cabinets now? Can post some pics to see?

I used dformat, so far only install halfway. Some hiccups like, no shelves!! Haha. And one door seems too short. But luckily the sales person that serviced me seems responsible so let's see whether he is able to sort it out for me..

Added on January 4, 2012, 12:15 pmI dunno whether ikeas cabinets are good o not..but I'm installing everything from them except my kitchen cabinets and let's see how it turns out. I only know the price is more expensive, but I'm lazy to wait for installer to come numerous times to install different things in the house and then they will say might not make it coz cny coming etc etc. then hv to worry if service no good or door not aligned. So within 3 days ikea coming!

Lowlowc...how come total cost so much if kitchen is small...11k!!

Lowlowc...ur kitchen cabinets look really nice le!! U don't like ar?? I couldn't get this kind of feel although I crack my head to think of colors to match..

Omg, ur experience with kitch top is like...terrible. Tq for notifying us. So they drive away and then never did anything about it anymore??

Ike's installing my wardrobe and stuff. And the wardrobe and billy bookcase got scratched!! I asked the installers how..they say...we bincang later after install. What does that mean?

Should I let them continue?? I don't want scratches after paying so much for the cabinetsssss

Darn it...!!

The rest of the installers were careful, the things didn't get scratched. Only one, who installed two of the items...the items are scratched. Pretty sure it's his fault and not Ikeas...

I think I might reject the billy bookcase since its quite easy to install on own self..
The wardrobe is half way done

lowlowc and weikee, thanks for the advise.

anyway i insisted to change, and the installer keep saying cannot change. then on the spot i called ikea, they say can and will send somebody with the spoilt pieces again. So for ppl who wanna install..please insist if don't want.

my MALM drawer and part of the wardrobe already installed, and i didnt ask ikea to change, coz the wardrobe already drill to the wall..not sure how to change..

anyway..hv a look at my wardrobe...i kind of love it except the scratches i picked the right colour combo ..

Jo da 48, my kitchen cabinet also like that. Got a gap between my cabinets and very very big gap at the drawer area. And unevenness all over the table top. They used the white sealer or something put a lot a lot cover it. Actually it looks ok to me far away la..

I was just happy that the doors are aligned..hehe

Haha...maybe tomorrow I try to take my cabinet gap picture let u see..U can compare see whether the same or not.

Just to update on my kitchen cabinets.

So far, my Dformat cabinets has been having numerous problems. First installation was without doors..and my melamine wood design was wrong as well. And also, one door size was too small.Second installation for the doors was supposed to be 2 days later..and drag to be almost 10 days later. Installer confirmed time arrive at 10.30am..but only arrived at 2pm plus and didn't even bother to inform to me. I waited so long for them..and they forgot stuff like soft close...etc. Then they had to come again on weekend to do the little stuff..and i had to wait for them again. and they were late again also.
And now ..the glass cabinets dunno why start to have some ugly peeling inside.. which i've highlight, but yet to hv answer to

The only positive side to this is the sales person is actually pretty responsible, and he tried to help me out as much as possible to address the problems. But still..i find it a hassle to coordinate so many times since dec..and until now still have not finished installing my kitchen cabinets.Also the sifu is quite good and flexible. He tries his best to align the doors and stuff, and i didn't hv to worry about that.

But still...headache, and that's why i haven't been able to share pics of the cabinets..
