I’m an Ikea fan too but only for the small items. Between buying a kitchen from Ikea and Ah Chong Company, I’d go for the former with its 10-year warranty. It’s just a matter of persistent complaining that you can get them to honour the warranty. Well done!

I have been an Ikea fan since I study in Australia. Everything was self assembled and everything was Ikea!

Now that I live in east malaysia, a bit hard to buy ikea, but I would like to buy some ikea for the new house. I heard that Ikea can arrange to send to Port Klang for RM60 per truck load or something, then you arrange your own forwarded and ship it here.

Kikare,
I think that policy probably only apply in Sweden. Over here, you break, you pay. It only covers manufacture defects. 🙁

Winn,
I’m also very bad in complaining, but my hubby very clever to escalate complaints, sometimes I’m embarrassed by his persistence also.
If I ask him to teach, sure he’ll very ‘kembang’ one.. better not.

Shannon,
Actually, Ikea’s kitchen cabinets are really nice, but sometimes you may get better quality for similar price from Ah Chong company, except maybe not with a 10year warranty.

Nadia,
Yeah, very penat to call so many times and talk to so many people.

Sue,
My hubby likes to assemble things, that’s why he likes to buy from Ikea. Yeah, I agree some of their stuff are not very good quality but more expensive than others.

Eileen,
Your hubby and my hubby can be good friends!

Syn,
You have to check what warranty your cabinets have. Some only come with 5year. Some with 1 year. Kitchen cabinets are definitely 10years.

Daddykhong,
No mold at the piece leaning against the wall? I heard it’s quite common for this.

Eastcoastlife,
Thanks for visiting!
Yeah, they kept their promise, but needs us to remind them about that. 😐

Simple America,
Yeah.. he’s that sort. I would probably have given up and live with the problem.
