hi moo,
they specialise in systems.
hi ning,
depends on what you want. the number of poles, shelves, bars and drawers. But generally, it cost slightly more.
ah ping,
the first one sounds reasonable while the 2nd sounds ex. Think you call up get a quotation as i do not know if their prices has changed.

Dear Afcai, little lamb and all,
I am thinking of doing a built-in closet abt 6.5ft to 8 ft long. with bi-fold door and materials made of frosted glass and plywood (not MDF or chipboard).
Went to furniture shops and some are selling MDF cupboards which are essentially paper based. Wanted something more solid.
I find the prices u paid is quite reasonable. can pm me the contacts and quality?
Or anyone have come across any good tall off-the-rack wardrobes to share?
The reason why I dont want to spend so much is that my area is too small to do a walk-in and one side is next to my aircon window which I have to leave a gap there which makes it not so value for $ if I spent too much on it.

Hi basics,
If you want a built-in wardrobe, why don't you get your contractor to quote you. This might be cheaper. I was quoted a normal wardrobe at $200/ft and there's no limit to the drawers and shelves you want. I didn't really look at off the shelf wardrobe but I thought IKEA has quite nice tall wardrobes.

Hi Basics,
Your PM status is not set, can't PM u.
Mine material is neither made of MDF or chipboard(not recommended by ID as it is not so lasting when the wood touch the water). mine is plastercell instead. it is kind of a better wood.
yup, that's why I'm also doing a built in closet instead.

Hi All,
I just bought a ximula wardrobe from Zhenyi at $1650, with glass plus metal piece in the middle sliding door. size about 7ft and full height...
really worth it... i think still got a few more to go only.... there are 30 sets, you can order now and take delivery in future...
anyone has bought this packages?
This is applicable for home owner only thus your ID will not quote this for you.
According to them, normally ID quote alumix rather than ximula as alumix is much much cheaper...

Hmmm.. that's why the profit margin for ID so high. They really make alot just passing the job to alumix.
anyway, while you gals were there, did you come across any workstations on offer?

Hi moo,
i feel that u dont need to let your id know. When i did mine reno, i just told my ID to leave that space empty as i will be buying off the shelf later on. I thought that if i let my ID know, they will raise the prices somewhere else.
I did mine after my reno finish but my id bump into the alumix guys when my id suddenly came down to take a look at the rectification of defects.
Toilet inside has good and bad points. If your layout of your mbr is in such a way the toilet is far away, you will be wasting space concealing the toilet in the WIW. And dont forget the moist and odour.

hi moo,
mine is outside. i cant have it inside unless i will lose half my mbr to the WIW. But my toileet door and WIW are the same material so cant really tell which is toilet.
My mbr is longish, so instead of concealling the toilet, i conceal the A/c ledge window inside the MBR.

Hi All,
Anyone heard of AluFlex?? I am recommended by my contractor to go to them for my WIW becos they use the same pole system as ximula. So I have went down to ALUFLEX and Ximula and Alumix showroom. For comparsion of drawers : Ximula is nicer with glass panel but a 900mm two tier will cost $500. Aluflex will cost $300 for laminated wood drawers with aluminium triming. Alumix is almost same price as Aluflex but Alumix is just laminated wood with wood trimming.
I tink Ximula is the nicest but expensive.
Aluflex is second choice.
Alumix is third choice.
Just my point of view

Hey little lamb, wonder if you are still around. Alumix is still having the offer duringthis period at $1650 for the same display set that you have posted above.
Do they still have the 4 tiers drawer set? I feel that the 3 drawers included in the package is too little and to get another set, it would costs abt $400 + leh...It's a good bargain at $350!!!
There is another 4 tier drawers in maple colour, but that would costs $600+ leh, too ex already..
We wanted to change the doors to frosted as well, but then reading through the thread, it seems there may be bubbles, marks, stains on the frosted doors, is it - afcai?
Hey views, how much did you top up to change the doors to glass?

Hey everyone, I have placed my order today on the $1650 pkg. The price for the wardrobe has risen to $1900 for today.
I am very tempted to get extra drawers as I feel the 3 tier drawers too little and I have plenty of stuffs that are needed to be "hidden" into the drawers...I am thinking of waiting for more display sets that will be returned to be sold....
There is also a display set that is only $600, excluding delivery + installation charge. I think it is very worth it...

Hi Ryes,
yup, it depends on the workmanship of the contractor. for mine, I have it re-done thrice but still got dust trap in the bubble. so give up then. but frosted is nicer. my kitchen cabinet are all lighted and dark frosted colour.
for wooden door, there's no charge. but for sliding door with frosted cost $80.
mine is also a 3 tiers drawers without rollers.

Hi afcai
Yap yap, you were so nice to share with me pictures of your wardrobe and kitchen. I like frosted alot as well, but the price to top up to frosted is ex, for 2 sliding doors is $299 already, not $80 like what you mentioned leh.
For the frost portion, was it done by the co ximula? You can feedback mah. There are 2 concerns - 1 is the bubble trap, 2 is the one which jumped mentioned abt the marks made on the panels if we use cloth to wipe the panels. Does it happen on yours?
Your 3 tier drawer can take out one right, ie not fixed to the poles right?

Hi guys,
Looking at your postings have "gian" me already.
Where is the Ximula shop?
I was at Cupboards @ IMM earlier. They're promo is 3k for a 3.2m cupboard. Its ex .. but the rollers are amazing. Quiet as anything.

Hi Ryes,
Yup, mine frosted glass still has the "water" marks. But i lived with it already. Cant be seen anyway since its on the inside.
Alumix previously quoted me $1.5K for 3 panel frosted sliding doors. Though in the end, i paid extra $1.2K and let my contractor handle it instead.
How much will you have to pay for frosted sliding doors ? Think my 3 tier 600mm drawers cost me $300+. Paid extra $15 for the rollers.

Hey gary,
are you interested in cupboards? My fren bought a set from cupboard, but as due to personal problems, she is selling it off. The thing is, you have to pay installation and assembling charges on top of the selling price, which I am not sure how much, as the cupboard is in her new house already.
Hi jumped, i dont know if it's because they have revised the price on the drawers and doors, so for my panels, I have to pay $299 more for the 2 sliding doors to be frosted...then for my additiona, 700mm it would costs $290 just for that 1 700 mm door lor.
ur 3 tier drawer so cheap? 160cm depth one?

hey shimaro,
is that so? But then, I was told that if go via contractor is more ex,coz they want to earn the commission you know.
Besglas told me that they will dismantle the old frame then install the new frame for us, but the wooden frame of the old door cannot remove, so I thinking how ah...

Hi Ryes,
you know why my sliding door is cheap cos I signed up their wardrobe package, that's why they give a bit discount. ximula, Alumix & _haplin are under a parent company called _haplin. '_' replaced by Z & C . yes, dust in the bubble trap. Am not sure what do you mean by marks made on the panels? no water mark. mine just can see a little bit of black dot or some fur things trap the frosted portion. yes, my 3 tier drawer can take out but it is quite heavy cos the wood itself already very heavy.
yes, my bi-fold door is also fr besglass. I did the safety glass bi-fold door(contractor get fr bestglass & much cheaper, eg mine cost $420 while bestglas cost $500++), safety glass modern style kitchen cabinet as well as display cabinet with them.
