1. Premade vs Custom Made for 8ftx8ft?
Premade since it is only 8x8. Premade quality is visible while custom made is not.

2. Melamine wood no good at all? Malaysia weather is it worst for it.
Melamine is more than enough for wardrobe which typically at dry area

3. Sliding door confirm can't close tight within 3-5 years?
Depending on the mechanism you spend. Do not expect consistent quality over time when you only pay for cheap price

4. Any furniture store suggestion?
Mixbox, they are selling in premium

dont think Mixbox do L shaped wardrobe. They only have straight design : (

FYI to TS, typical custom made swing door design wardrobe is RM380-400 per foot run.
For example, 8ft x 8ft will be calculated as 14ft (8ft+6ft) and total is about RM RM5320-RM5600.
Not sure if it is the same for condo anot...

For sliding door i think is about RM500/ foot.

Did TS ask for L shape? i am reading 8x8 as L x H which is normally how the industry quote  icon_rolleyes.gif

Swing door is as cheap as 350 per foot run, most of the provider are giving hafele hinges already. It shouldn't be a problem in long run

Sliding door is around 430 per foot run, sliding mechanism is the concern because those premium sliding mechanism is not common in MY and pretty expensive.

You are right, mixbox only do straight design; or i should say their design is pretty boring but quality is assured.

ahh... for my case, my supplier does not quote the height because they will measure the exact height and 'custom' built it, even for mixbox.

350/ foot is cheap, i need to nego more with my carpenter...
