Just came back from china, and bought a whole chuckload of furniture.. i think basically everything.. if you think JB is cheap.. China is even better~ and quality surpasses what you can normally find in singapore~ only thing now for me to do is worry about shipping, and pray that everything arrive is promised..

a lot of items not photographed... and many custom made furniture...

going 2nd trip in june to get more decor items.

did i see the cellini's elda sofa in ur google sketchup drawing??

Welcome to T-Blog... I'm also a newbie here... Wow... Cool.. U actually bought big bulky items from China?! So u need to arrange for shipping or the company will do so for u? Will it be expensive cos when I do online US spree... the shipping already $50 for a bag...

i bought my sofa (3 + 2) full leather from guanzhou last Sep 2010. When my sofa arrived in Dec 2010, the colour was lighter different from what i hosen in the showroom.

but for the low price, we cannot complain much also lah.. kekeke.

your layout looks gd leh. no dead space.

gd luck on ur hunt!

steelze: yea the price difference really will make you forget the little defects. i hope the quality of the sofa is good, i bet its better than what you can find in singapore.

Zullin: yea must make full use of space, or else will look very cluttered. created quite a bit of hidden storage areas..
