Hi,
I got my wardrobe done by amare la casa a year plus ago. My house is located near the sea, due to humidity in my house area, it's kinda headache when it comes to wooden furnitures. Usually after a few months my cupboards will start to have problems surfacing, but for their wardrobes is still doing good. I guess it shouldn't be a problem for humidity.
Their designer quoted me $300 per foot run, i think it's quite reasonable price as it was imported from australia and they're all using melamine wood for the whole system, even the sides, plus full mirror. I remembered i did ask a contractor to quote me for the exact same materials used, but somehow they could not do the 'exactly' same designs as amare la casa, it's like double the prices i'm paying for.
As for the melamine wood, the designer was telling me that it's a chemical-treated wood. Although it was compressed wood but when the designer handed me some kinds of other woods to compare, it really sees the differences. But what really convince me is that they actually show us the internal part of the melamine wood despite it was compressed. Unlike other contractors or companies, covered the whole piece of wood but we does not know what we are really getting. Some contractors told me that this kind of material is more commonly used for kitchen tops in singapore. So i guess it might solve the problems for some whose house are humid.
I have to praise amare la casa for the excellent work done, beautiful workmanship. And the designers for the designs. I would recommand this system to those who are still hunting for wardrobes.
