Great..so I've been furniture shopping.. and I'm apalled by how incompetent our furniture industry is. Have you any idea how difficult it is to buy a writing table with just some pre-requisites? As a student, one's writing table is everything! How am I supposed to face it for hours if there was no love at first sight in the first place? So I went shopping with these specs in mind:
Length: between 110 and 115cm (the most important thing since I've got a room the size of a rabbit's burrow)
Width: between 50 and 60cm
Height: should be built for adult humans
Material: Wood
Colour: Wood-colour?
Price: a reasonable, affordable price (and that just means below rm100)
Very reasonable don't you think? And I couldn't even find ONE table like that after going to more than 7 shops..=( *sigh...and I even asked the people at the furniture shop whether they could saw off some wood to make it fit. And it seems that it can't be done. What's so difficult about taking 5 cm off the side of a table, revarnish it a little, adjust the legs a little, clean the edges? Hmmph..the way that furniture shop man looked at me was as if I told him to build me a rocket.
Oh well, I guess I'll just find a way to make my room bigger. Get rid of the bed maybe. Who needs it anyway? Especially when I spend so much time sleeping on my table..=p

HAHAHA! Rocket!
Have you tried Jusco? Erm, my brother bought one (my dad sponsored, apparently) from there (Wangsa Maju Jusco), also made of wood, a decent study table. But I've forgotten the size and price though.
Nope, tried looking there, to no avail. Wangsa Maju Jusco is so damn small.... well, speaking from the perspective of a guy who had been there since its establishment in Wangsa Maju...
All odd stocks and sizes..sigh*
Gine: Well, YM tried Jusco already..i'll try Jusco ipoh..though i've never seen a furniture section there...=S
YM: *sigh...hey, what do you think if we went into the furniture business? i'm almost tempted..=p
ya. should start a furniture business and rival IKEA lol =)
