From friend who got them to renovate her rental properties:

1) Very hands off experience. You can't customise much beyond choosing to add/remove items. They give you a set of themes based on past projects, you chose the theme, and they'll decorate for you.

2) Quality of furnishings is so-so. Looks great on camera to attract tenants but might not hold well for long term.

3) When you get their package your contacts will be "sold" to them to a client pool where they'll supposedly look for tenants for you.

4) Recommended if you're having an old investment property you're having troubles renting out and need refurbishing, and you want to target more upper class/expat tenants. But if own stay and/or it's still a relatively new unit with decent workmanship, and you want to rent locally for cheaper, not really recommended because it's not exactly ideal design sense for local market. Selling point is that it's cheap, fuss-free, and very photogenic design. So if that's what you want, feel free to engage them.

What would it cost to build a TV console that spans the wall and also hides a sliding door/hidden door? Approx 14ft including the door.

Something similar to this, without the open storage shelves:

Would like to check a very rough carpentry quotation if it's reasonable, for a 10ft high ceiling property:

1) 2.5ft wide floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet, melamine ABS, white carcass, soft close hinges - RM3.7k
2) 9ft wide floor-to-ceiling swing door wardrobe, melamine ABS, white carcass, soft close hinges - RM10.9k

Right now to me it's a bit "designer" pricing, but I'm not updated on KL market rate for past two years.

Ya that's what I expected, but I'm not KL-lite, so no real reference for pricing.

Supposedly "high quality" melamine but I suspect they overquote based on highest spec (to test water), I'll see what the detail quote is and where the costs are from 😂

That's true. Probably E1 melamine, explains the cost jump compared to basic melamine. Looks like I have to wait to see their samples of both the doors and carcass first before I'm sure....I also hire ID because I don't have time to manage individual contractors, so there may be some mark up involved 😔

thanks for the suggestions and explanation.
