Avida Makati West and condo furniture

One of my sisters bought a studio unit in Avida Makati West Tower 2.   She was going there last Wed, Jan 25 because the cabinet and bed she ordered will be delivered around lunch time.  I want to check out the place for comparison because I also bought a studio unit at nearby Belton Place (which will be turned over next week).  Will post about this after turnover.

About the Avida property at Yakal St.  I like the fact that there's room to walk around because its an enclosed propery with two condo towers and two small swimming pools at ground level.  There's also a small kiddie play area at the back.  There are two elevators at Tower 2..  I assume this is the same with Tower 1.  Medyo matagal ang waiting period (est 5mins) and probably because a lot of repairs/delivery are going on at the time.  So matagal nahihinto ang elevator at one floor. 

So inside the unit, theres a built in kitchen cabinet overhead and under the sink.  This was provided by Avida, maganda ang finish.  Sa CR, as expected, very basic looking ang sink/toilet.  Problem is na cut by about 20% ung shower area bec nadaanan ng wall/structure ng building there.  So just to maximize the space, my Sis would use the 20% as storage.  Kainis talga.  These type of unit 'defects' should be disclosed to the buyers and sold with a discount kahit minimal lang. If she had known, she would have selected another unit. Now Im worried if the unit I bought had those unit defects as well.  What I like about the unit is there's a view. Hindi kulob ang feeling.  Another condo unit Linear will be put up across her unit. Pero may view pa rin na maiwan.

The cabinet and bed she bought were costum made.  We didnt like how the cabinet turned out to be.  The white finish was bad.  Parang minadali kasi hindi pantay ung pagpinta. Hindi madulas ung sliding doors, sumasabit sa pintura.  Hindi rin lapat ung cabinet doors.  This would have been acceptable if they paid a low amount.  Eh for the price of P18k, they could have found a much better one at the mall.  Buti na lang, the twin size or double size bed looked ok.  It had a more natural wood finish. For the cost of P7k, sulit na.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics. Haay.

So its really important to canvass and look around malls for comparison of furniture prices.  Because you will find good buys naman.  Advantage din is you already know how the furniture looks.  Now if you really dont find anything you like, then maybe its an option to have things "pasadya".  Just make sure you hire good ones.  I also wanted costum made kasi i had all these ideas for a bed that I couldnt find anywhere.  With my sis experience, ayoko na.  Ready made na lang muna.
