Ikea Furniture ~ What We Bought ~

As mention in one of my earlier post that we purchase some furniture from Ikea.. tat their assemble team refuse to fixed up for me when they realized that my place undergoing renovation.

Anyway I have gotta my refund back after much ding dong... :bleah:

So here are some of the items that we bought.

Bed Frame

* To all future home owners out there, if you would like to purchase IKEA bed frame... do note that their mattress comes in funky size. 150cm x 200cm whereas ASEAN mattress (queen size) is 152cm x 190cm. Which means... we have to either purchase IKEA mattress or customize our mattress. The later will easily incurred another at least 15 - 25% on top of the mattress retail price.

We were totally not aware of this until we went mattress shopping and told the SA that our bed frame is from IKEA and then realize the size difference. HAIZ... :huh:

So there goes my dream of purchasing a Serta mattress and because of this issue, hub agree to change to a better bed set in 3 years times. So no choice, we end up with a customize mattress that is suitable to us in terms of comfort level and budget too..

Was pretty depressed that I have to resign myself to IKEA's bedsheets.. luckily I came across these in TB!!

Bought the above combination for my toddler daughter.. and since we want the room to grow with her so we didn't custom made a wardrobe for her.. Hopefully this wardrobe is sturdy enough to hold all her clothing! :dribble:

Hi there,

Here's the link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=42625479976

I didn't know that it includes a remote control as well.. *Maybe my contractor add in for me* :notti:

The remote mainly is to switch on and off and we installed on both side of the wall so you can choose to switch on either side or both together.

Super super love the dining table that I've purchased from TB! Glad that I bought the 1.2m table instead of 1.5m cause HDB 4rm is really small.
