Wardrobe Placing Problem...



Finally we have decided on which contractor to engaged for our house renovation. The kitchen renovation plan has been drawn out carefully and lots of thoughts has been put in. We will have a 'L' shape kitchen desktop and with some cabinets on the bottom part of the desktop. And a ceiling high cabinet will be installed to place the oven and others.

When it comes to where to place our wardrobe in the master room, it's really a headache for us. Our master room is not so big but just nice the size. It's 13 X 20 feet in dimension, but the bathroom has took up 13 X 5 feet of space in total.

Initially we plan to have a 8 feet width wardrobe but looks like we really run out of space due to the room dimension. So we have decided to buy a 6 feet width wardrobe with higher storage space. Hope it is enough for us to keep our clothing, luggage suitcase and others.

When looking for wardrobe supplier, we have 2 options :-

1) Ready Made (Not sure about the quality)
2) Build In/Custom Made Wardrobe (better sliding mechanism)

I have few supplier in mind :

Maxima
KianClassic
Hayer System

Our budget is around RM 1500 - RM 2300. Hope can find what we want during HomeDec 07 at KLCC.
