lol. the voodoo knife holder is a little big to be sitting under the dishrack due to height cos the dishrack is mounted slightly above the sink tap. Plus my hubby prefer compact knife holder.. So its not the problem of not having enough space on countertop

haha. ok. i guess i know wat ur hubby means :dancingqueen:

i'll still be doing ikea concept table, but with solid wood. his dad says wood comes in size of 2.4X1.2m.

so basically cutting it into 1.6X1.2m & 0.8X1.2m pieces to do a L-shape table =p

de wood itself cost 40bucks. another 40bucks to do de laminate (approx). den get the metal to fit below de wood so it doesn't warp + legs from ikea. maybe it'll cost ard 200+ for de table?
