QUOTE(kumario9 @ Dec 31 2022, 12:03 AM) It was Unity Kitchen quoted RM50k+  50k for these? You can get solid aluminium (note: semi-fix) for probably RM20k± only. I want to recommend the company I worked at (self promotion lol) but unfortunately we don't cover Cyberjaya If anyone else read this you can search for our humble aluminium kc / door / window factory: Long Wide Aluglass. For now we can only cover Melaka, Johor and N9.

Looking into the possibility of saving some $$$ by DIY installing the LED lighting for the cabinet instead of getting it from the cabinet supplier.
May I know is it easy to do? Would apreciate if anyoen that has this experience can share some info.
Thanks

BTW I noticed that there are basically 2 tyes of finishing on the stainless steel undermount sink. With the curved corner vs right angle corner as per the pictures below. May I know what are the pros and cons, and which one do you prefer and the reason? Thanks

Thanks for the info. Yes I normally buy stuff from Taobao also. Will have a look around there also. BTW is there anything to take note when considering the lighting? I see there are a few options locally: T5, eye ball, led strip etc. Any suggestions about this as well? Also I have went to a few showrooms to see the KC design, but will be great if anyone can share some picture on your lighting design Thanks

Dry kitchen - plan to keep the concrete structure, perhaps a quartz stone over it, and change to melamine doors Wet kitchen - keeping the concrete structure as well, and perhaps change to aluminium doors Tall Cabinet - Melamine perhaps. Any other better suggestions ? do let me know ...
