I'm looking for some nice sideboards and computer desks.

Of course the first place i browse is Ikea. But i find that they can get quite pricey and on top of that i have to heave the boxes and assemble them myself.

Do you all have any furniture shops recommendations in KV? Don't give me high-end shops la, no budgets, something in between middle would be perfect. Fully assembled.

You can actually pay Ikea to get it assembled for you.

the price is about 10% per piece. They have to assemble at your home right? I live in condo, where got space for them to assemble.

Is ikea quality that better? Some of the ikea furnitures I had in the past already cracked or broke down. Whereas those I got from random furniture shops seem to be better.

60% of my furnitures from Ikea. All my stand and table lamp from ikea also. I have about 15 of those.

Quality depends on price also. They have low and high range to cater to different ikea customers.

Another place you can try is Homepro. Bought 2 study table from there.

For similar type of furniture, IKEA feels more solid.

I recently just assembled a few MDF Board based furniture, I can tell the Ikea board is harder to penetrate with screw because its denser, I need to turn higher torque of 3-4nm to have the screw penetrate in to the Board, while those I bought online only require 1-2nm torque to penetrate in to the board. But those I bought online are cheaper than Ikea. Another bonus to note is the instruction is clearer with the Ikea's

It depends on what exactly you're buying.
The elcheapo series basically paper roll or compressed sawdust.
The solid wood stuff easily lasted 20years..eg Ingo table..from CRT monitor era till today i still use the same desk.
Yup. Check BOM made from.
Per trip charge. Else you can rent a lalamove 4x4 and sendiri angkat.
Truck roadtax, GDL license, worker fees, driver salary, tolls also have to consider leh. I used to do pickup truck moving services also charge per load min 80-90 depending on location and distance.

okie la fair enough. Yesterday while i was browsing around I managed to revamp my idea and the cost has dropped significantly. I think i will just pay them to assemble as well.
