Nilai. Get there about 10, or even earlier. Pick your fabrics and give them your measurements. Go and have lunch in Seremban or Nilai itself, then collect your curtains after lunch.

Which shop in nilai3 is most value for money ??? Is mk curtain good ?

They've done one set of curtains for me before. Not bad. But you're really spoilt for choice there, so many shops. Just look shop around till you've found the fabrics you want.

Don't know about Nagoya, but the two places I've been to are certainly comparable to or better than Kamdar.

Went to Malaysia Funiture Expo last week at KLCC, one booth selling blinds quoted me around RM1400.00+/- for my balcony, measurement about 11ft x 9ft, bloody expensive. Walked around a bit then saw MK Curtain, they quoted me same measurement for RM700.00+, end up getting blinds and master room curtains from them.

My initial plan was to get IKEA's blind but their height was too short. Anyone bought curtains/roller blinds from MK Curtain group before? Can't seems to find any reviews here or online.

MK Curtain in Nilai did one set for me. Not bad. I went there for another set, the salesgirl kept running here and there and left me waiting like an idiot so I went to another place.

Just to share my recent experience with Baagus curtain.

When I was choosing the curtain for my bedroom, I had informed the sales person that I want black out for my curtain. Then she showed me the samples of black out curtain for my selection. I had chosen one of the black out samples to be used for my bedroom.

They have done the installation last week. After a few days observation, I notice why so-called black out curtain is not totally black out because I still could see the sunlight behind my curtain and the window grill behind still can be seen very clearly. Then I called up the sales person for clarification. She says my curtain is not 100% black out. It's only 80% black out. I was dumbfounded when she said this to me. Then I told her that it is not even 80% black out as she claimed because I still could see the window grill behind so clear. She didn't reply me at all. This is a very irresponsible sales person and a well established curtain company shouldn't have behaved like this.

In order to close the deal, they didn't tell me the full picture. They should have told me that this selection does not meet my requirement for black out curtain. Now I'm stuck... Very regret that I had chosen Baagus.

"80% black out" is not black out at all lah, it's called "rip off"

Thanks, at least now I know I've purchased from a reliable source.

Well in Nilai itself they have a few shops, and don't know how many other shops elsewhere. I have no idea if they maintain a consistent quality across all their branches.

How could you expect an ordinary user who is not in the curtain industry to understand all the curtain terms.

As a layman, the term black out means that area will turn totally dark without seeing the sunlight behind that's what we understood.

Then as a responsible sales person just has to answer him "yes" or "no" black out.

Ya, my point is you were ripped off. Blackout means MOST LIGHT is filtered out. Good quality blackout curtains will basically leave your room in complete darkness when you draw them. What you describe isn't blackout. If you feel really pissed off about this, you could be doing other people a favour by taking this to the consumer tribunal. But that depends on whether the words 'blackout' appears on your receipt.

Just wonder how the price for curtain is calculated, can shed some light here?

Say, 7ft*8ft window for material priced with Rm28/per metre, but end up the price is RM266.

If you've got french pleats, they'll need to use much more material than the actual width of the curtains. How much more will depend on how far apart the pleats are spaced. Then you also need the factor in the labour cost.

so MK curtain in Nilai3 is good? I'm just 25 minutes drive away... will pay a visit

Many shops there. Shop around first. MK is OK as far as the workmanship is concerned but because they are big and have a few outlets in Nilai 3 alone, you might not get the best customer service, as I found out once. One of the smaller shops might be better and deliver the goods faster. One of the smaller shops did my curtains in two hours flat.

But please shop around to find the fabrics that match what you have in mind and read the body language to decide which shop will give you the best customer service.
