crypaz / bleucheeze, disappointed with the table quality. The table top will pop-up when there is water on it, i.e. have to remove water quickly else the wood will pop-up. So we planned to ask someone help to customize a glass top to put on top of the table or temporary use a table clothes first.

I believed this table was not made by solid wood ..

Oh dear... sounds like laminate. How much did the table cost?

  • Thanks eekenji.. mind to share how much u have spend on your carpentry? Btw is all electrical works done by your contract?

  • Hehe ... Our house was so lucky to be featured in decomyplace, this website is a great place to get reno ideas. We have done some simple interviews by the editor, finally see the outcome.

  • We just revamp our living hall to add a fresh new feel for the New Year ~ We got this 4-drawer dresser to keep the children new clothes and our crafting tools but now it also served as a sideboard in

For my case cause mine is white top table i buy those thick thick transparent plastic cover from market think it's about $8 per meter to cover the whole table... cause white gets dirty easily...then on top of it i put table cloth....so it's like another layer of protection.

Consider painting over it? Otherwise to put plastic clothes won't be nice.

Think is something like chip woods, the table cost 596.02 after discount... Heard from my colleague, Franc Franc still selling it inside their store. The design looked good to me, but didn't realize the quality was not good.

Yeah, white will get dirty easily, but white color table top looked very nice.

I saw one white color table top with wooden legs in Star Living furniture shop, looked very nice ...

I have ordered a zakka style table clothes online, but haven't delivered to singapore .. hope it will match well with the table.

Will think about this option, may be just paint with a transparent wood paints to protect the table.

Eh, just thinking, can complain to Franc Franc about the table?

Never think about this .. may be can try when next time I visited their store. So far I quite like their products, just that didn't realize their wood quality is not that good.

Quite happy with the carpenter we engaged, we actually engaged him before engaged our contractor. Although the carpentry works are not 100% perfect, e.g. horizontal balance .. but we are fine with all these. I have just PMed you the carpenter company name and contact ~

Hi ultimax, I got them from a online portal called taobao .. There are many suppliers selling these kinds of plants, I normally choose those with good reviews :rolleyes:

We placed some books storage bought from Franc Franc. These books actually are made by wood and can store things inside .. Planned to put stuffs that often need to use, e.g. nail cutter, tapes ..

This was another item I bought online - the clock, I choose the better quality one .. so ended up also not really cheaper than what are selling in Singapore.
