Wardrobe battle cont'd...
Today we planned to check out two firms that does pole system. One of them is Eka by Eureka (www.ekabyeureka.com) recommended by a good friend of mine who previous was an ID, the other is Closet Design (www.closetdesign.com.sg).
We went to the Straits Times "A Part of My Life" lucky draw at Esplanade at 11am to put in our entry. All eyes was on the top prize; Sony 60" 1080p LCD TV. Alas luck was not on my side as I did not win any of the 35 prizes on offer. It was a bloody hot day and the draw did not end till close to 1pm (note I would not be cursing if I won something...Ha).
As Eka closes at 2pm, we had to rush there before it closes, skipping lunch in the process. But when we reach there at 1:20pm, the door was shut tight and there was no response to knocking. Disappointed we settled for lunch at the nearby kopitiam (meaning coffeeshop) as I was about to faint from hungry already.
Went down to Closet Design to check them out. They offer "classic" looking wardrobe that is totally customisable and pole system as well. The person attending to us, Eugene, is a true blue sales person, rattling off all the benefits and advantages of his system. He seems to concentrate alot on the "classic" wardrobe although I prompted my preference for pole system (my wife has no preference).
I find the classic wardrobe, well, normal looking, like any wardrobe. The pole system however looks similar to that of OM's, having lights embedded in the poles. Like OM's and Ximula, the support hinges are all aluminum. It does have an added advantage of being able to add in the hinges even after the system is mounted, adding flexibility. The other systems only allow you to adjust what you have existing but not add on as that would require removal of the pole to add it through the ends.
The price of the pole system is about $150 more then the classic system. However unlike the classic system where the calculation is by ft regardless of the number of shelvings or hanging poles (they do charge extra for drawer and other accessories), the pole system only comes with a certain number of hinges (same number of hinges as the number of poles) and any additional items will keep their cashier happily ringing.
Hopefully next week we can get a hold of Eka bu Eureka and do comparisons.
