laminates need to see A4 size better.

Forget to add this Taobao tip for shipping... If you are expecting huge shipment (more then 2CBM, it will be advisable to prepaid to the forwarder via Alipay as the exchange rate for SGD (if you choose to pay in SGD) is not favorable... I incur $30+ more for my second batch shipment.

Update of our second Taobao purchases... no time to take photos of all purchases. Here's a few. Since our TV wall color is white, decided to buy spray paint to spray the white doors with colors. 1.2m sofa bed. Arms folder-able to stretch flat at 1.9m. Study table. Vanity cabinet set for common toilet Rack for washing machine / dryer Other buys (including the queen bed and wardrobe) : Will take photos of the individual items later on when we move in.

Kompac plus counter top installation today!

My 2nd batch Taobao orders came today.... quite shag as DIY assemble most of the furniture with my wife help. TIP: Do not order wardrobe from Taobao... my wardrobe door was damaged when they crate the packaging... the door full of nail holes, in the end I had to go "open concept" for this wardrobe. Luckily it's for guestroom only. Also, I hired a mover (2 person) to do the assembly... took them 3.5 hours but still cannot finish fixing and I had to touch up. Paid them $210 for this assembly job. Managed to DIY assemble the following furnitures: - Queen bed for guestroom - Sofa bed for piano/study room - Dresser for master bedroom Tomorrow will resume to assemble the following furnitures: - TV console for living room - Study table for piano/study room
