Due to the shape of our bedroom and limited space, we need some cabinets made that will allow us to optimize our living area to accommodate a new family member due this March. Unfortunately, we have had experience of HK "handymen" who profess to do quality work but deliver a "Shenzhen special" result. We want a real professional who can make a cabinet with sliding doors that will still glide smoothly in 2 years. (Hope you follow my message here.)
Does anyone on this forum have any recommendations of cabinet makers who might fit this description? I would love to hear from you if you do.
P.S. note to Ed. I know that there are "handymen" on this website but I want recommendations from unbiased expats who understand my frustrations with slap-dash handymen.

Our friends had some furniture made in Macau which they are thrilled with. They ordered it to their spec and then inspected on delivery.
I have not had a good experience with any HK handymen either...!

Hi JJALD,
Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply. We are looking to have some cupboards with sliding doors made rather than furniture that will be free-standing. I think that we really need to get someone who can come around and build to fit. In any case, we may also need some free-standing draws that we can also use as a change table for the baby so I would appreciate the contact in Macau. You can PM me if you like.
Kind Regards
Paul

Hi Boomer11, totally understand your situation. My wife and I had a similar problem with the size of our recent apartment, a friend of ours recommended this contractor and he helped us make custom fitted cabinets / dressers etc. Since he has a factory in China that produces cabinets so the prices were cheaper and we were in total control in the style, color and the quality as well.
You can PM me if you like more info.

Try Raymond 9197 3809. His company is very good. They've done cupboards, outdoor furniture, shelving, beds, bunk beds, toy chests, coat racks, knife blocks etc, for us and our neighborrs. Good quality and if they don't get it right the first time they will take it back and correct any issues. Our neighbors showed them pics from a magazine and they made exact replicas.

HI Boomer
I too have used Raymond Chew 9197 3809. He is a lovely chap, very unassuming. You have to be absolutely firm about what you want. He does drawings until you are happy. He did me some free standing book shelves and a desk and a tv cabinet. Its pretty good quality but i have to warn you that most things are made across the border but if you are exigent on quality control then there should be no problem at all. They use different wood as well depending on the quality you want.
