Kitchen & Bathroom Items...buy From Where?

Recommended Posts

hey jaskel, nope... dun think so... problem is, we think it was caused by the chemical washing; but cos we have already moved in, and didn't check the stuff closely b4 that, it will be hard to get compensation fm the ID even if we approach him about it. anyway he is a major source of anger and disappointment to us

I have the same feeling that the rust spots in my sink were caused by the chemical wash as well. :(

Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

1. for those who buy kitchen accessories, at Poh Joo we were told

for kitchen sinks any type of tap would fit into e hole where e tap

portion is supposed to be. this is for s'pore taps lah, what about

malaysia taps? saw some taps in johor last wk & they look slimmer

at e base, so would it still fit in e sink in s'pore?

2. from research ppl were commenting Poh Joo had e cheapest price

range but from what we saw, it dun seem to be e case, we went to e

bigger outlet to see (later passed e smaller one while searching for another shop.) e.g. flat clothes hook -6 sells for $35 w GST in Poh Joo but sells for $28 at poh s*** , exact same model ! so it's kinda weird.

3. then couple doors away at GR link, was told stainless steel is actually those matt looking type & those shiny shiny type we normally see is brass which will give blackish spots but at e previous shop, we were told accessories made of zinc is e type that will turn blackish & brass or stainless steel will not.

e sales guy even show me how to tell the difference between e zinc

& brass. - Is what he said true???

4. spotted granite sinks in some of e shops, sales commented it's good to see only but not as good as e normal stainless steel sink. any comments on this?

5. spotted Hoe Kee by accident while having dinner @ jalan besar hawker centre. went in see see look look, range is quite great, but sales staff were only lukewarm friendly (maybe it's close to closing time) & they dun have catalogue. so who bought from them??? can share yr exp pls ??? thanks. (i read in e forum here that their service attitude is lousy but product range is ok & price range is towards medium to high end?

I made a trip to these places over the weekend and checked out some of the shops which were mentioned here.

1) ROYAL FANCO- was sorely dissapointed when I visited the shop due to the lack of variety. The items were not well-displayed and very cram.

2) Poh Joo- Nice variety and the quality of the goods appear to be of higher standard. The price was also decent. It is not the cheapest, but would be what I deem as most value for money.

3) Hoe Kee (at Paya Lebar) - Service leaves much to be desired. The variety is not bad though.

Hei, agreed with you. The price is lower as compare to Royal Fanco. Just got arino caprio from GR Link Marketing (3 units from Royal Fanco) at $350.The boss is very kind and friendly. lots of explanation and give us free of charge the palstic offset for our purchase. Highly recommend this shop for all forum friends.

Royal Fanco is not for browsing. Need to know what you are getting, then go there, talk to the boss and ask him. He will then quote you. The more items you get, the cheaper he quote. :)

Hello,

Can you share the name of the shop? Also, did you get the price of $340 because you bought a lot of items from them?

Hi,

I just make my survey along geylang rd and along ang mo kio ,the price is all about the same along the street.

Among all these shop I feel that the most friendly and reasonable one is heritage bathroom located at geylang rd.

Their price are quite reasonable and also negotiable,sales person is very friendly and funny,

Anyone intend to buy sanitary items can look for them too!, :yamseng: :yamseng:

Hi, am a noob but been reading forum..

I went to Harfary showroom at Defu today & there's a promotion for sanitary wares. iLife brand of shower head, shower mixer & basin mixer + Bravat basin & toilet bowl = $818 to $1028. Abt 4-5 models from each brand to choose from. Discount of abt $200-$300 from RP.

I wonder if anyone has experience with these brands & is the promo cheap?
