asianms 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I was looking around for curtains and after read sooo many positive reviews on MGL curtains, I went down and was TOTALLY disappointed by their zero service! so sorry to read about your negative experience. The first time I went, I found the sales consultant May's attitude a bit brusque, so I ddn't commit to anything; when I went back 1 week later becos they offered the best price & they had a fabric I liked, May was v friendly & helpful, and she even remembered our earlier discussion. And I'm not even getting all the window dressing in my 4 room flat done by them. I think they must be very stressed out rushing orders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeegi 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Hi!how much did they quote u for the curtain overall? do u have a break down cost? did u do roller blind? Sorry I don't have a breakdown... maybe because i did the normal day & night curtains (full length) for the whole house. So i didn't do roller or roman blinds as I'm afraid that the pully mechanism will spoil easily and roman blinds are more expensive & difficult to maintain too. My living curtains are $26psf (i think) and is from europe. The rest of the night curtains are from Korea so it's cheaper. My day curtains also simple and cheap ones. Total cost $1750, including installation, track and hooks. The guy also very nice... he told me he ran out of stock of the original day curtains so let brought down other sample for me to choose which cost slightly more but looks nicer hee hee sigh i'm sssooooo happy with my beautiful home! Darren's workers rushed to complete some minor works on friday night til 9pm+ (hope neighbours never complain..) and finished cleaning today! Then he brought 2 couples to see my home and I bumped into the 2nd couple while I was bringing my barang barang to the house... extremely happy that my home is good enough for people to see Monday is delivery of furniture and Tue is moving in day! Curtains arriving either on Tue/ Wed Only sian thing is that my Lorenzo sofa is delayed til mid Feb due to constraint in time.. but they're giving us a temporary sofa first so i guess it's still alright. I'll put up pictures of my home soon.. so stay tune for the before and after pictures! ps: I'm really enjoying looking at my home! It's really dream come true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwerkz 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 erms.. at least mgl bothered to tell u they are unable to commit for ur proj, rather than to pretend they can, n can't produce work later. guess it's cny, dey're all msian, so probably closed. anyway my experience with them was pretty good. as i was trying to qualify for some credit card promotion, i paid in full before dey make a visit to my place to do de measurements. but becos my bedroom laminate floorings were not laid yet, dey came down another time to do measurements for bedroom. n another time to install when everything is completed. very good service in fact even after i paid =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivy 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 whoa nice place! I like the leather laminate you use for your shoe cabinet. I've gotten a quote from Sky (Plush Living). Is it convenient to share with me your quote? Wanna make a comparison if possible. My experience with Sky so far is pleasant. He is nice and service is good so far. However, i am still awaiting other quotes to come back before I decide who to appoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
