Japan bought plywood from us in bulk. The local supply is drying up that cause the price to go up.

Do you notice that a lot wood based company share prices have hike up just after the tsunami? Their earning will improve. I am sure the local distributors will hold their supply too because they will profiteering if they sell later. 

My fren delays his reno until after Beijing Olympic construction. The construction materials were mad those days.

Price is one thing but can u get good service & quality as well? They might give u cheaper material which consumers could never know (eg: thickness give u 5mm instead of 9mm, give u 202 grade stainless steel instead of 304) or the workmanship might not b good.

To be honest, I have many customers who bought stuff from me like Rinyuu who praised Erny for good service, price and quality. Erny might not be the cheapest but definitely the quality and service is good, or else Forumers will start bombing this thread with negative feedbacks. You can save ur time & petrol on wira, ikea, kubiq and etc.

I totally disagree with what you say. If you are here to commenting about bad thing on customer, u will never get any business.
nobody will give you business if u keep talking bad about your customers .

Learn to be competitive, else don't blame customer like us.... customer are not stupid... please respect people and you are also customer for others also

To zheilwane and erny, sometimes in a forum, there is silent reader. Or there is some section in this forum that won't increase your post count when you post. Like me for instant. i have been monitoring this section for 1 and a half years. I never did post anything since i haven't really get a house or apartment yet.

But since you guys voice out about new account and stuff, i better post something here first, coz i'm about to engage you guys to do my newly bought apartment, which ...i think will be in next month.

Sometimes, its hard to judge whether a particular person who post here is genuine or not, so... easier is...just quote them with a little bit marked up price, then ask them to visit your showroom to discuss further.

all these is based on trust..
the best way for me is.. u have to know what u want 1st. nowdays internet, email, phone is so convenient. why don give a call to 3-4 company 1st, let them explain to you. then tell them wht u want. roughly get price from them.
or u can simply draft a simple measurement send to them. let them know wht material u want to use.
basicly, if u find u r hard to trust anyone. do some research lo.. so easy to get info online.
as i know. there are 2 diff type of wood.

1) melamine = chipboard = compressed wood (heavier, as its compressed, and have gum inside) suitable to do wardrobe, study table. as its both side lamite with formeka.

2) Block Board = Solid Wood  (Lighter, made from real solid wood, 1 side white colour, and another sides is ur choice u Formeka laminate.

solid wood- RM 160/ftr
melamine- RM 130/ftr 
(base unit and top unit are same price) except u already have concrete table.

If u have concrete table
solid wood- RM110/ftr include doors & drawers
melamine- RM 80/ftr include doors & drawers.[attachmentid=2380341][attachmentid=2380341]

3G (added glass on formeka come with aluminium frame) for 20ft cabinets. usually need to + RM700-RM800

Hi Everyone,

I need your advise on this build in wardrobe. My wardrobe just done today, but I found a very weird part.
Do you think is it normal to have such a thick side ending as in the picture highlighted? It's about 3inches.

Erny,

You are a kitchen/wardrobe expert. What is your opinion ? Is this normal ?

Seriously need advise on this, hope anyone can answer me....  

RM5000 can have what kind of kitchen cabinet?

This MEICO is budget type of Melamine board?

what type of board or code that you use? It look different...

For me, in term of quality, they are not much diff, price range also similar, is just laminate will be bit higher

Would like to check what's the difference between melamine and plywood? Was told that plywood is of better quality so slightly more expensive. True?

Glass with aluminium trim also called 3G?

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...

Crystal glass door? You mean spray-painted glass?

Meico - postform?

Why leave a gap above the wall hanging unit????
