Pros and cons of built in furnishing

[Berriesfanatic]

Hi any views on built in furnishing
?

 

[zyroo]

It will generally be more expensive as it is custom-made. Good if you have an idea what you want.

 

[rosepetals]

are you referring to BTO furnishing? agree with zyroo that built in furnishing is not as good quality as custom. but custom can cost between 30-50k for simple renovation.

 

[carlise]

built in furnishing for condo or BTO? very different.

 

[rosepetals]

the problem with showflats is that you cannot see the quality of BTO furnishing. i saw my friend's BTO the furnishing quality not very good.

 

[wanderbee]

yeah.. not usually durable and good in quality

 

[kitykat]

i think it's okay for cabinets and closets

 

[MsAnalise]

it'll just make the place you'll buy or rent more expensive

 

[lovergirl]

hmm. i think you have lesser freedom to move them around

 

[coffeetoffee]

Yeah. built-in furnishing will be expensive

 

[hannybae]

may not fit your home decor aesthetic

 

[MoodyMe06]

Some are not in great quality

 

[MsAzalea]

hmm. i prefer buying my own

 

[PinkSuga]

buy your own. at least its replaceable... built in are difficult to replace in case furniture wears out.

Built in is nice but if you regret afterwards it's will be difficult to change it. I think can do built-in for the main area and not overdo it

My sister told me her built-in furnishing always needed repair from time to time... So I advised her to buy furniture of her own

If you want something for long term, I think it's best to go with built in furnishing. But if you plan on moving at some point - you may have to leave it behind or something.

I'd like to buy furniture of my own so I can still use them in case I move out, relocate.
