After 9 months of living here, we’ve finally gotten down to doing a house tour.
Our 3-room HDB flat may be tiny at 62 sqm, but we’ve made it as adaptable with our space saving furniture from TAOBAO! We hope our video gives others, who might be getting a 3-room, know that it’s possible to have a spacious space without spending a bomb on renovations or furniture.

Hi everyone, thank you for all your love and support thus far! We're thoroughly overwhelmed but we're so glad that we could share/help others who are going through your reno plans. We're intending to do a Q&A video on some of the FAQs. But if you have any other questions, feel free to comment/reply and we'll address all of them in a separate video! :)

@nevertooold6440 2 года назад

Hello, for the shoe rack, did you buy the cupboard from the same taobao seller as well? I'm thinking of getting the swivel rack and installing it with a shoe cabinet from IKEA

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hello! Our shoe rack cabinet is a built-in carpentry done by our ID ☺️

@novabeen4524 2 года назад

Hey there! May I just ask is the sofa bed good and can it be use for the long run (like an 8 hour sleep, does it become hot after certain time usage)? Planning on getting one to save space and use it as a daily driver bed and would love your review on it :)

Hello there, aww thank you for the kind comment!!! 😌 yes, honestly furniture shopping locally can be so expensive which was why we took the leap of faith to buy from taobao despite the risks 😂

@chiawildy563 2 года назад

@@HowNowTaobao Taobao furniture generally quite acceptable in quality. The downside is the distance between China and Singapore. Any replacements take quite a while to cross the seas. The experience is also hit or miss. Great finds.

@rosewaters2533 2 года назад

Yes I think that would be helpful. It’s daunting to order big items from TaoBao so if you can show how you order your furnitures, the logistics of it, shipping and were you taxed in the end, etc?

@mayteo2880 2 года назад

To be frank, buying from Taobao is really cheap, sea shipping fee inclusive. The only thing I find inconvenient buying from Taobao is you need to be quite good in Chinese, if you need customization and extra packaging.

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hello Rose Waters, we used a 3rd party forwarder for our items and we have a playlist on it here! ru-vid.com/group/PLDJNr8mLYdmIfCDfvIbTYNTvl7ejmEBch hopefully it helps you. With regards to how we did the process with our ID, you can check out our Q&A video too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-anFWbLBDv48.html

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi May, it’s true!! Taobao stuff are cheap but it comes at the cost of communicating/reading Chinese since taobao is a full Chinese platform. But I guess most of us Singaporean Chinese do have the benefit of at least knowing how to read/type Chinese, just gotta work harder to learn more!

@danielpang9358 2 года назад

I also buy all funiture other then the reno package of build in kitchen canbinets and wardrobes, the rest all from taobao even mattresses. One thing good about taobao you can measure the space that you have and order from TB customised to the size you need. Items like settee, blinds, sofa set, bed frame ........etc.

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi Daniel, ya I agree! I was quite surprised that TAOBAO sellers actually have quite a lot of customisation available which helps since we have to fit it into our "singapore dimensions" :)

@connieyeow8899 2 года назад

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

@ftnkeek 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making this video! very useful as i am moving into a 3 room soon, really need many space saving items! i'm surprised that you can find the automated hanging rack too! i wanted to get one installed in SG but the cheapest one is $600 i think? How did you do the installation, did you get your contractor to do it or is it simple to DIY?

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi Kristy, that’s great to hear!! Yes, finding affordable space saving furniture, that’s not built in, for 3 room is challenging! Hopefully taobao will be an alternative solution for you too! For the automated hanging rack, we got it from taobao and it was probably about SGD$100-200 (can see the item link in the description!) We got our ID to ask the electrician to install it for us! So it was part of the total costing.

@jessielimheng 2 года назад

Hi. I'm so glad to have found your videos and hope to make practical use to what you shared. I would like to ask more about sofa as it is really cool! If you put the table down, will it be very far from the sofa? Meaning can I use the table to eat a meal?

@jessielimheng 2 года назад

I actually have children and so maybe if I can use it to even do some simple work?Also, does the wood scratch the floor? Lastly, did u set up yourself or get a handyman to fix up?

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi Jessie! Yes, the table is quite far from the backrest of the sofa. So for both of us if we use it, we won't be comfortably leaning back on the sofa and would be leaning forward (like in the video). The wood doesn't seem to scratch the floor, as much as we've used it. For all our TB furnitures, we got a TB handyman to fix it up! We'll share more in our upcoming Q&A video, so do subscribe so you don't miss it!

@kristabology 3 года назад

I believe some forwarders do offer packaging services at a cost, so depends on who you use.

Hello! I am interested to buy the LED clock at the entryway. Is it a good buy and how long do you use it for before having to charge it? Thank you!

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hello! Yes, we’ve gotten quite a few compliments on the clock too! Wah, we don’t really track but we charge it when the clock dies 😂 the frequency of that is about once every 1-2 months? It’s not as troublesome as we imagined it to be.

How stable is the accordion bench? I wonder if it might be accidentally collapsed from one end if a person bumps into it or something else?

Hi, may i know if the shoe rack spinning is smooth?

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hello Derrick! The spinning has been smooth but now at the 9th month mark, it has a bit of squeaking. But I’m sure it can be easily solved with WD40 (but we’ve been too lazy to spray haha) 🙂

Did you guys have any concerns about bugs being in the wood furniture that you guys bought from tabao?

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hello! We didn’t have any concerns on that because we check the reviews thoroughly (can watch our “Don’t Get Scammed!” video on that) But when we first moved in, we actually discovered ticks in random areas around our house 😰 we don’t have any carpeted area nor pets so it was very unusual. Our only logical suspect was our TB items/packaging brought some in. So ever since then, we’ve unboxed our items outside the house 🥲

@BlowtheRood 2 года назад

@@HowNowTaobao I see thanks for replying! Good thing you guys discovered the ticks before it became a big problem:') thanks for the tips:)

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Ya! It was really perplexing because they appeared at random spots of the house so it was really hard to pinpoint or suspect the source 😩 now we have quite a full bottle of pet tick spray in our house HAHA 🥲

I tried to sea ship the washbasin cabinet from taobao. However, they are unable to ship to singapore by ocean. Can you explain in detail how to ship fragile items from taobao by ocean freight?

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi there! If you use Taobao's official shipper (Cainiao) to ship via sea, you might get rejections due to their restrictions. If you're intending to ship multiple furniture items, I'd suggest trying out a third party forward (3PF) instead for better cost efficiency! Feel free to watch our 3PF playlist to help you with that - ru-vid.com/group/PLDJNr8mLYdmIfCDfvIbTYNTvl7ejmEBch

How's the quality of the storage bed from taobao? I thought of getting a storage bed with a wall cabinet attached

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Hi Thaddeus! Our storage bed is solid and the hydraulics to open and close have been operating smoothly. I think it's important to check reviews of the item and chat with the seller. Feel free to watch this video to help with that - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TjFXeDfDcU8.html

@@HowNowTaobao thank you for replying. I'm actually deciding whether to get wardrobe system, cabinet and bed frame from taobao or source local stock or carpentry. But I can't make up my mind

@HowNowTaobao 2 года назад

Most welcome! Hmm, I think its very important to check for reviews of the TB seller. If it looks like really good quality and the price is worth getting from TB compared to a local seller/carpentry, it's worth a try! But honestly, buying big ticket items from TB really depends on each individual's risk appetite and confidence! We have a video on how to ensure you don't get scammed on TB by checking reviews etc, might want to watch that to help you :)
