Length is 2.7m at $1.8k. Done by my contractor. We chose the close to white/cream colour and painted white over it. :)

Great and informative T-blog! Love the study, except if i were to do it myself I would make frosted glass so I don't get distracted while doing my work LOL (cos i get distracted very easily). And also for privacy as perhaps I could put a sofabed inside to use it as a guest room if I have friends from overseas... :)

Since so many people commenting here are regular TB buyers, I would like to ask...do they sell the brick wall panels on TB? My Mandarin is very poor and I don't know what search term to use even if I figure out (through sheer guesswork) how to use TB given my handicap LOL.

Nickguthe, any advice...? :)

Usually I will use google translate to get a first term and slowly copy and paste from the TB search results to get closer to what we are looking for.

I gave "白砖" a go, got quite a lot of listing :)

Hope this is helpful. :) happy Taobao-ing!

Managed to put up the art prints and assembled the sideboard that we bought from Taobao. Took this opportunity to take some shots. :)

Sideboard from Taobao: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=15992805496&spm=a1z09.2.9.82.cmytmj&_u=e1q6ekj82696

Review: Solid wood, heavy and sturdy. Only need to screw in the legs. but quite smelly. Wood varnish smell is strong when the cupboard is open.

3 prints from the this Taobao listing: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=39258532011&spm=a1z09.2.9.73.xbuxkV&_u=e1q6ekj87b88

Quite high quality print. :) No complains.

Round side table from tabao: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=35677711844&spm=a1z09.2.9.276.xbuxkV&_u=e1q6ekj8a6b2

Sturdy, no issues.

Almost 3 months since we moved in. Quite happy with everything except the Bennington C600 instant heater... Need to let the water run in order to get the water warm enough. Temperature is not consistent too. The water will be cold again halfway through the shower. Not sure if other fellow Bennington users are facing the same problem. :help: Contemplating to change it to storage heater. Will storage heater help with the water pressure? Cos the Bennington C600 relies on the inherent water pressure HDB provides and ours is pretty weak. Calling town council didn't help, says it is the max. :(

The wood colour of Your sideboard from Tmall in the living room is matt or shiny cos I read from Tmall that they put 木蜡油?

Can't tell if there is 木蜡油, but definitely matt, not shiny.

Hi nickguthe, after all the items you purchased from taobao reached Oops singapore warehous, how did you managed to receive all? Will they provide u a correct delivery date?

I think if we can know the delivery date in advance then can apply the leave & wait them at home to receive the item.

Don't think Oops have a warehouse, they deliver them after Singapore customs clearance.

They will call you about 2-3 days before the actual delivery, will specify morning or afternoon, but not the actual delivery time. Yes, one of us will take leave to receive the goods. Delivery itself is very fast, they load off the packages in your house quickly.
