I was at the same homedec too.
my sister's kitchen was done by sci, 4 years in, so far so good, but theirs is not a good yardstick as they hardly ever cook. Their white solid surface top has stains and some cracks already.

So, I would gladly like to hear of others' feedback as well

why not get signature kitchen? its the 'to go to' kitchen supplier for those that can afford

although their service is a bit of hit and miss

Hi Hoo,

I was dropped by to SCI booth yesterday, and quite impressive with their design and proposal and almost wanted to sign. However I insisted to walk thru the expo then Sunday only decide.

Before i went back, I was stopped at this booth, Dans Interior and they even creative and offer some new ideas and with cheaper package. You may check on that. Anyone can share their experience with Dans Interior?

sci all use chipboard carcass...chipboard Contact with water will " fat ", cant put heavy thing if not will dented , water resistant but not waterproof...
hi gloss door easy scratch , will become other color , finishing not nice....
quartz top better than solid surface...
fitting standard...
price chipboard normal...

I suggest use plywood carcass + 4g glass door/plywood laminate door/solidwood door + quartz top

SCI services very bad,every one can review this

Kitchen is the only place in home which needs more care and proper maintenance other than any part of the house. It also becomes a status symbol and regular practice to furnish your kitchen with modular cabinets and frames. A great kitchen idea can not only improve it but also bring praise and pride at your home space.

RTA cabinets are an easy solution for those who want to remodel their kitchen or bathroom but sometimes DIY homeowners take up the project which is too big to handle. Remodeling kitchen with RTA cabinetry can prove to be very fruitful whereas buying the wrong cabinets can be a big disaster.

sure will change colour...

Usually MDF is used if you want a high gloss smooth finish as it doesn't have any grain.
Don't be too hung up on "solid wood" as it's just two thin pieces of plywood on either side with some filler in the middle for support.

Each material has its pros and cons. My current kitchen and wardrobe is using "solid wood" and finished with exotic wood veneer. I had it for 6 years. Trust me, it has it's own set of problems.

I dont know what you desire as the end result but for me, I look into the very details of things. The final look is very important to me.
If I want a modern sleek look especially with white colored doors, I would choose spray paint glossy finish. White on glass doesnt look like white. Its not solid, there is some transparency. You can try acrylic but some may not like the frame. I dont. As for "scratch problem", if you got a child running around with a sharp object, stainless steel also wont help you.

Last but not least, particleboard /chipboard is not really a bad thing. My old condo kitchen came with those particle board type given by the developer. After 9 years, with numerous water leaks from my upstairs neighbor, it is still in one piece.

Different situation requires different materials. Dont worry too much about durability. More important is workmanship

Try the alumimium kitchen cabinets from Belkitchen if you like sleek. The built is much cleaner and, well, sleek compared to wood.

Price is high though. Last year they were offering 30% at Perfect Living.
Otherwise die-die cannot afford.

Aiya...kena tipu liao! Signature said their MDF is specially sealed, so won't peel or kembang

What's the problem?
Sorry to confuse you

Btw I like to choose my own hood, hob, oven etc so I don't really care about those packages that they put together at these home fairs

I would strongly not recommend SCI for kitchen cabinets. Services and workmanship was very poor.
Last 18 months ago, confirmed the whole package kitchen cabinets and 3 walldropes total RM18,000+.
Problems after another.
