Hi, its about $2k - super cheap and worth it cause its HUGE. It looks alot bigger in real life and I've gotten Contractor J to put tons of the shelving panels inside to suit my needs cause I have alot of flats so I can bring down the panels to the height of my shoes and my other shoes like heels and boots I adjust the panels to those compatible height. Its fairer to measure via the size. Beside the shoe cabinet, I can fit all my vacuum cleaner etc - tons of storage which I previously lack!

Woah bro, you are most right....like many other fellow Renotalk members...I only surf this forum on weekdays when in office. This is to boost my productivity hahaha.

Hi Shazy! I will PM you the quote. Maintenance is quite fuss free if you are not very particular about water stains. Although it can be wiped off, but you do need some effort in scrubbing. Stains occur when you leave water droplets to dry on the surface. So what I find myself doing now is to constantly wipe my table top dry, even during food preparation. But it's not really a bother to me. Although I do get a bit paranoid when other people are using my kitchen. Material wise it is really water proof. Quite scratch resistant as well. But I have done my due diligence of not purposely dragging my kitchen utensils along the kitchen top. However, I have had the top for less than a month, so I can't really comment on what would happen in the long run when water does get in the material along the sides. I have definitely not lit a fire on it so I would not comment on its fire retardant properties, if any. I would always use a cork board to support my hot pots and pans from the fire or oven. Aesthetics wise I will give it a full score. It gives a warm feeling to the kitchen (if you choose the wooden range) and the material feels really nice. Finishing is nice as well but just pay particular attention to where the silicon is applied. You wouldn't want water to go to places it shouldn't be going. Keep your table top dry and handle with care, it should accompany you for a pretty long way. But! Keep in mind I'm just using it for less than a month.

Hello, I am really new at this and recently spoked to Don from Absolook (office in AMK). He seems pretty responsive and amicable to our ideas. Anyone worked with him before?

I m also pondering over what colour to paint for my main door ... Thinking of either white or gray as well... Will paint the gate black... The thing is no one in my blk paint their doors.. I am wondering if it will look super weird after I paint mine... Haha cos the original is walnut brown... Super off.

This is a better shot of my light grey main door with the new scissor gate installed. Think it kicks some serious ***.

Can't be due to the rpm. I usually use 1200 for mixed loads and 1400 for cottons and it doesn't vibrate/move much. I'm using a Bosch washer with a stacked dryer btw. I've used front loads for a few years and my experience is that you shouldn't overload (i.e. if in doubt, I stick my hand in and move around to make sure there is space, very 'agaration' so also dunno how to describe), but you shouldn't underload cos that will cause the machine to vibrate a lot much much more. Agree with Aya that the lack of water is highly unusual. I do see water splashing on the glass panel. I can load one full set of (either King or Queen size) bed sheet with quilt cover and the pillow/bolster cases. No problem. For towels, I can go up to 4-5 sets of towel & hand/face towels in one wash. If it's 800-850 the towels/sheets may not come out dry enough? But I use 1200 all the time and no problem so I don't think it's the spinning speed. Maybe you should check with people who use the same brand of front load wm as you.

1400rpm is too fast. Suggest you lower it to 800/850, it is enough. U can check the manual for more detailed instruction. I am using my own logic only. I understand the rpm is the amount of time the drum rotates per minute. 1400 rounds per minute is A-L-O-T. TOO FAST. That is why its noisy n vibrate. I guess you were a top load user so you were surprised at the amount of water it uses.. Me too. I even thought it was not able to clean my clothes! But, it can clean the clothes very well. That is why people sell n buy it. I was told a few hours ago that a front load of 8kg cam only wash 7kg of clothes, 1kg left is for water. And you seriously need to remember not to stuff it until full load. The drum needs space to flip the clothes, like Ayumi said.
