You know what, after much delay, I have received my sofa. However, I found that that colour don't seems like the one I order. So I call the sales office and the salesman was kind enough to come down 2 weeks later. After comparing against the sample, I was told that the color is only 30% matches. So they promise to replace one for me. It will take another 1 month time. However, inside my heart, I know this will take more than 1 month....

Hi Simpleguy80, My carpenter is Mr Kok @ 97680883 or Perlyn @ 90080883. For wardrobe, he is charging me S$195 per sq ft. For this staircase, he is charging me around S$4000. There are many other items like study room tables and cabinet, kitchen cabinet, pantry area etc which is hard to tell you.

Hi Wei_renovation, I think what you are trying to imply is that I am a carpenter ??? Too bad, I am not. I have been benefited from this forum when doing my renovation work. I have gotten a contact for curtain from Malaysia and have a saving of about S$2000+. I have also managed to get a lower price for my lighting after comparing what was posted in the forum. My carpenter was recommended by someone. In fact, I have received 4 quotes ranging from S$30,000 to S$60,000. After using them, I am very happy. So in returns, I posted their contacts on the forum and hope that someone can benefit from there. You can choose not to believe me as I have nothing to loose. By the way, this is the design of my staircase. As the ceiling height is too high, I don't know how to take a good picture.

Hi Blursss, I have not taken any photo so far as I have not shifted in yet. For wardrobe, I think they are charging S$ 190 to S$195 per sq ft. It might not be the lowest but in terms of the workmanship and quality, I think is good lor. The door is 18mm thick one and not those 12mm thick. They allow you to choose any laminate. What is more important, there is no hidden cost. For mine case, they even do extra for me like clearing my unwanted wardrobe, hang pictures etc etc.

I have bought 3 wardrobes from Ikea. As I was moving house, I disassemble the wardrobe and keep it in the warehouse. When I shifted to the new house and try to reassemble it again, the wardrobe was shaky. I called up ikea and was told that I have to pay 6% for the installation and a fix transport fee (I think is $30). As I paid 1000+ for the 3 wardrobes and it is still new, I told them I am willing to pay for it. However, I was told that since the wood is chipboard, they also cannot gurantee that after assemble, the wordrobe will not be shaky. The person answering my call even tell me that Ikea furniture cannot disassemble and assemble again. I am so angry No choice, I have to throw away the wardrobes.

Dear Cherie, Yes, I only engage him to do the carpentry work. I have a friend who is a developer, he went to my house last weekend. He also think that the carpentry work is well done and very cheap. My sister has also engaged Mr Kok to renovation her house including knocking down the wall and hacker of floors and much more. She will starts the renovation on 13th Nov. I was told the quote was very good.

I have recently renovated my house. Quite like my carpentry work done. My carpenter is not a ID, design wise you have to tell him specifically. However, the workmanship is good. He is patient and accomodative. In terms of the charges, I find it very cheap. My sister after seeing my house also decide to let him do. You may call Mr Kok @ 97680883 or Perlyn @ 90080883. Just tell them is recommended by Mr Tan.

Finally they told me will be delivered on 5th Nov. Pray hard

Call the sales person twice and still not able to confirm with me the delivery date.

What is the point of changing name to Mode Studio and yet the logistic is in such a mess? I let them decide the delivery date and yet when I confirm with them one day before the delivery, I was told that it will be delayed.

How about the area below staircase? Any photo to share too?

My understanding is that the current construction price is around $250 to $300 per sq foot for landed property. Any comments?

I have received my curtain. The workmanship is good (Actually I can't tell is good or bad but my sister told me is good ) The service is very good too After they have put up my curtain, I told them to take down for me as my house is not ready yet. I think I can only move in in one month time. Mr Roland from Miki Curtain told me that he can get his staff to come and help me put up again once my house is ready I will recommend my sisters to get their service. Strongly recommended (I have taken some photo but is over exposed Maybe next time I can post up the picture)

My curtain is not ready yet I told them I can wait for a while. I think most likely they will contact me this week
