Missing Parts — Questions & Answers

A slim 150 cm arc floor lamp in matte black or natural brass pairs cleanly with a Japandi bed frame of light oak or ash. Place the base behind a 45 cm bedside table, not beside the bed, to save walking space. Choose a paper or linen shade for warm 2700K light. In a 4-room HDB in Tampines, this combo reads calm without crowding the 12 sqm footprint, especially beside a fiddle leaf fig.

Sea-air freight crates can trap moisture, and Singapore's humidity hits the wood the moment the crate opens. Wipe panels with a dry microfibre cloth, air-condition the room for 48 hours, and run a dehumidifier at 55 percent RH. The smell usually fades within a week. If it persists, request the batch records and photos from the maker; MIDHILL provides these on request for every order shipped from Foshan.

Take three photos: the labelled hardware bag with its part number, the empty slot in the panel showing the hole pattern, and the batch sticker on the outside of the box. Include the order number, your unit number in Tampines or Bedok, and a short note describing the issue. Email within 48 hours of delivery. This speeds air-freight replacements from Foshan to Singapore, usually 7 to 14 working days.

Stick to two wood tones, one dominant and one accent, ideally within 20 percent lightness of each other. Walnut bed with oak side tables usually clashes unless the oak is very pale. Match undertones instead of species: warm walnut with warm cherry, not cool ash. In Singapore's bright light, test samples at noon and at 7pm before buying. A 200x280 cm rug in a neutral tone ties mixed woods together cleanly.

Measure every opening first: main door (usually 90 cm), corridor (around 120 cm wide), and your lift car depth (about 150 cm). Pick pieces that flat-pack below 180 cm in the longest dimension and under 30 cm in any single carton. Low-profile silhouettes, raised legs, and light-toned solid wood keep a Tampines or Bedok living room visually open. Avoid deep wardrobes wider than 60 cm if your corridor turns sharply. MIDHILL's Foshan workshop designs most storage around these Singapore access constraints, so you get pieces that arrive, fit, and breathe in humid weather.

A master bed (super king, roughly 180x200 cm) only earns its price if your room clears 3.2x3.6 m after skirting. Cheaper frames often use HDF or veneer that swells within two wet seasons; solid oak or ash holds shape far longer in our 80–90% humidity. Check the joinery: mortise-and-tenon corners and a centre rail with a mid-leg support outlast cam-lock-only frames by years. MIDHILL backs its master beds with a 10-year structural warranty, so the higher ticket genuinely buys you replacement cover, not marketing fluff.

A queen bed frame around 158x210 cm fits comfortably in a 4-room HDB bedroom (typically 3.2x3.6 m) if you keep the side clearance to 60 cm and the foot clearance to 70 cm. Avoid headboards taller than 110 cm in Jurong East or Tampines units with ceiling fans — they crowd the sightline. Choose a frame depth under 40 cm so the air-con airflow stays unobstructed. Solid wood bases like those from MIDHILL's Lecong range keep the slats from warping in our tropical humidity over time.

Yes, for any verified purchase within the 2-year surface or 10-year structural warranty window, missing cam-lock bolts, dowels, drawer runners, or handles ship free to any Singapore address. Email the workshop at Lecong with your order number and a photo of the parts list; the team identifies the batch and dispatches a small parcel within 3 working days. Typical parcels weigh under 300 g and arrive by SingPost in 4–5 days. Replacement parts are matched to your batch's finishing system — nitrocellulose lacquer, polyurethane, or polyester — so the colour match stays exact.

Don't drill it out — you'll split the panel. Instead, pack the gap with a matching-diameter hardwood dowel soaked in wood glue, let it cure 12 hours, then tap a chisel parallel to the grain to lever the broken stub sideways. The remaining fragment pulls free with pliers. Any Singapore-based carpenter at neighbourhood workshops in Bedok or Tampines charges around S$25–40 for this 15-minute fix. MIDHILL stocks spare dowels by diameter (6, 8, 10 mm) and ships them free when you send the batch photo.

For a standard 3-seater sofa (around 200 cm long) in a HDB or condo living room, pick a coffee table 110–120 cm long, 55–65 cm deep, and 38–42 cm tall — roughly two-thirds the sofa length and level with the seat cushion. In tighter Punggol or Jurong units under 18 sqm, drop to a 90 cm round or 100x60 cm rectangle so walking paths stay 80 cm clear. Keep weight under 25 kg if you rearrange often. MIDHILL's Lecong range lists every dimension on the spec sheet so you can tape it out before buying.

Pick a dressing table no wider than 100 cm and no deeper than 45 cm, with a mirror no taller than 70 cm. A 4-room HDB bedroom door swing (around 80 cm) and wardrobe projection (60 cm) leave a usable dressing zone of roughly 1.2x1.5 m against a blank wall. Solid oak or ash tolerates our 80% humidity far better than MDF, which swells at the edges within a year. MIDHILL's two-drawer dressing tables ship with anti-tip straps, felt-lined drawers, and a 10-year structural warranty — practical for first-home owners who'll keep it for decades.

Yes — a 2-seater around 150–165 cm wide suits most 3-room HDB and compact condo living rooms under 20 sqm. Post-modern styling with curved silhouettes, mixed-material legs (brushed brass or black steel), and boucle or velvet upholstery softens the boxy geometry of new Tampines or Punggol BTOs. Keep seat depth under 95 cm so you don't lose legroom, and choose removable cushion covers because our humid climate means monthly airing. MIDHILL's Lecong collection includes post-modern 2-seaters in cream, sage, and rust, all on solid hardwood frames.

Allow at least 90 cm of clear walking space between the wardrobe face and the bed side — less than that and you'll constantly brush the doors when making the bed. A standard 60 cm deep wardrobe on a 3.2 m wall leaves 2.6 m for the bed (around 2 m) and one side passage. For sliding-door wardrobes, drop the clearance to 70 cm since doors don't swing. Humidity matters too: solid backs resist tropical bowing better than hollow panels. MIDHILL's wardrobes include back panels screwed, not stapled, for Jurong's coastal damp.

Punggol HDB service lifts measure roughly 1.6 m deep x 1.4 m wide x 2.3 m tall, but the usable cargo floor is closer to 1.5x1.3 m after the handrails. A flat-packed king frame from MIDHILL's Foshan workshop ships in cartons no longer than 195 cm and under 35 kg each, so two cartons clear the lift and the corridor (typically 1.2 m wide) without tilting. The headboard and footboard travel separately. Book the service lift with your town council 48 hours ahead — weekend slots in Punggol Spectrum blocks fill by Thursday.

A rectangle 120–140 cm long by 75–80 cm wide seats four comfortably and aligns with the wall run, leaving 90 cm of passage behind chairs. Round tables waste corner space and force awkward circulation in typical 2.4x2.8 m HDB dining zones. Oval 150x80 cm is the sweet spot if you occasionally host six — no corners to bruise shins and tapered edges improve flow. Avoid pedestal bases if you have toddlers; four-leg solid oak from MIDHILL's Lecong range stays stable on uneven HDB floors and tolerates our humid air year-round.

Yes. Photograph the handle mounting holes with a ruler beside them, email the Lecong workshop with your order number, and the team pulls the dated batch record to match the finish — brushed brass, antique bronze, or matte black — exactly. Free shipping applies because the replacement value falls well under the US$350 threshold. Parcels under 200 g arrive in 4–5 working days via SingPost Normal. Each set ships with two M4 bolts, a paper template, and a hex key, so installation takes about 10 minutes with a handheld screwdriver.

Pick a rug 200x280 cm or larger so the front legs of all seating sit on it — under 180 cm and the sofa floats awkwardly. In a 4-room HDB living room roughly 4x3.5 m, a 240x300 cm rug grounds the whole conversation zone without crowding the walkway. Low-pile wool or flat-weave cotton handles Singapore humidity and air-con cycling better than thick shag, which traps moisture. Neutral jute pairs well with both Scandinavian and Korean minimal solid wood frames from MIDHILL, and a felt rug pad underneath stops creep on tiled floors.

Korean minimal palettes favour warm whites, oat, and soft taupe rather than pure grey. For a light oak dining set in a Jurong or Punggol condo with white walls, pick linen-look curtains in ivory or greige (between grey and beige), hung ceiling-to-floor with the rod 15 cm below the cornice. This makes a 2.4 m ceiling feel taller and softens the tropical glare from east-facing windows. Avoid heavy blackout lined fabrics in dining zones — they trap humidity. MIDHILL's showroom displays pair their oak tables with oatmeal linen curtains for exactly this effect.

Yes — kiln-dried solid oak or ash at 8–10% moisture content, then finished with nitrocellulose lacquer on horizontal surfaces and cross-linked polyurethane on vertical parts, holds shape across 80–90% ambient humidity. Avoid chairs joined only with cam-locks and dowels; look for mortise-and-tenon corner blocks under the seat. MIDHILL's Lecong range adds a centre stretcher rail for lateral rigidity, critical on uneven HDB floors. Wipe spills within 20 minutes and never use silicone polishes — they cloud the lacquer within weeks and void the 2-year surface warranty.

Stick to two cushion patterns and one solid: a 50x50 cm linen solid in oat or stone grey, plus a textured weave and a subtle geometric. On a 200 cm Scandinavian sofa in a HDB living room, three to five cushions look balanced; seven looks cluttered. Avoid matching the cushion fabric to the curtains exactly — go one shade lighter or warmer. In our humid climate, removable zip covers in cotton or linen wash easily and resist the mustiness that polyester develops. MIDHILL's Lecong oak coffee tables photograph well with cream boucle and rust velvet mixes.

Walnut's warm chocolate undertones pair best with soft white (Dulux 30GY 88/050 or similar warm greige) rather than cool grey, which clashes with the wood's amber depth. Accent walls in muted sage, dusty terracotta, or clay add warmth without competing. Keep ceiling white to bounce tropical light. In a 4-room HDB bedroom with limited natural light, satin finish on walls (not gloss) hides the uneven plaster common in older Tampines flats. MIDHILL's Lecong showroom pairs walnut beds against Farrow-style Setting Plaster tones as a working reference.

A single sculptural plant beats a cluster — try a 60–80 cm tall Ficus lyrata (fiddle-leaf fig) in a matte ceramic pot, or a trailing Epipremnum aureum on a high shelf. Both tolerate Singapore's humidity and air-con shifts. Avoid flowering plants with heavy fragrance near dining zones — they compete with food. The Japandi rule: one plant, one vessel, plenty of negative space on the console. MIDHILL's Lecong showroom stages their ash consoles with a single pothos in a Hakashi-style pot to demonstrate the principle visually.

The bed frame — sleep affects every other decision. A queen or king frame at 158x210 cm or 180x200 cm anchors the master bedroom (typically 3.2x3.6 m in Punggol BTOs), and you measure everything else around its position. Buy the frame before mattresses, side tables, or wardrobes so you confirm door and lift access while the route is empty. Solid oak from MIDHILL's Foshan workshop ships flat-packed under 35 kg per carton and includes a 10-year structural warranty — a realistic long-term anchor for a first home.

Export crates use low-moisture timber (kiln-dried below 12%) plus desiccant packs matched to the crate's internal volume and a sealed vapour barrier. Solid wood pieces are wrapped in breathable Tyvek, not plastic, so any residual moisture escapes rather than condenses. Stone and mirror inserts travel vertically in padded slots with polished faces never touching. Each crate carries a humidity indicator card visible on opening — if the blue dot stays blue, your piece arrived dry. MIDHILL's packing list documents this so you can verify before signing the delivery order.

Yes. Every order passes multi-stage inspection at the Foshan workshop with dated batch records covering timber moisture, joinery, sanding grit progression, and finishing system. Email the Lecong team with your order number; they pull the QC photos — typically 8–12 images per major piece — and send them within two working days. You see the exact lacquer or polyurethane coat, the dowel alignment, and the final hand-rubbed gloss stages. Buyers who arrive at the Lecong showroom with a dimension schedule leave with a matching specification on the spot.

Three mistakes appear constantly: matching wood tones exactly (slightly varied grains read as intentional), buying a rug too small for the seating zone (it floats awkwardly), and ignoring ceiling height — anything taller than 180 cm in a 2.4 m ceiling unit crushes the room. Also avoid dark heavy furniture against dark feature walls in compact Tampines or Bedok units; the space shrinks visually. Finally, don't skip a felt rug pad under any rug on HDB tiles — it stops creep, protects grout, and stops the musty smell our humid climate breeds under stationary textiles.

Email your order number and a close-up photo of the bolt to MIDHILL customer service. They will courier a replacement bolt from their Foshan workshop for free if your order is over US$350 landed. Delivery to Punggol typically takes 3-5 working days via DHL. As a stop-gap, Tampines Block 168 DIY shop stocks generic 15 mm cam locks but check thread direction, because left-hand threads are common on imported wardrobes.

Choose chairs with a cross-linked polyurethane topcoat over nitrocellulose — PU resists claw scuffs roughly 4x better in our humid climate. Solid rubberwood or white oak frames hold up; avoid MDF cores. Keep claws trimmed weekly and place a 2 mm felt pad under each leg. For a Bedok family with two medium dogs, expect visible wear after 18-24 months even with care. Ask whether your supplier finishes chair rails separately from legs.

Performance weave with tight weave counts above 40,000 rubs and a moisture barrier under the fabric release fur with one damp cloth wipe — boucle and velvet look luxe but cling. For HDB dining rooms in Jurong with two cats, choose removable zippered covers washable at 30 °C. Reinforced corner blocks matter more than brand. Vacuum weekly with a rubber-bristle attachment, because fur lodged between seat rails smells in humid months.

A true 3-seater French provincial nightstand usually refers to a long 140-160 cm console meant to flank both sides of a king bed, with three drawers, cabriole legs and brass pulls. A regular nightstand is 45-55 cm wide for one side. Province pieces often use cherry or beech veneers with hand-rubbed gloss — that gloss is a sequence of progressively finer abrasives plus felt-block paste, not a single polish. Confirm the finish before buying in Singapore humidity.

Most L-shape sectionals ship in two boxes around 180-200 cm long, which clears the standard HDB corridor width of 1.2-1.5 m. The corner module is usually under 95 cm wide and tips through the 1.5-1.8 m lift easily. In Punggol or Sengkang newer flats, corridors may be slightly narrower. Measure door-to-corner turns and check that the longest single segment does not exceed 215 cm, otherwise the delivery team cannot angle it through.

Pick a leather-look PU dining chair with a tight weave, wipeable seat and concealed zips. Smooth top-grain leather releases dog hair easily; boucle and chenille trap it deep in the weave. Choose chairs with cross-linked PU finish so paw scuffs buff out, because silicone polishes will permanently cloud the surface. For a Bedok condo with one large dog, expect 4-6 years of clean wear. Wipe weekly with a damp microfibre cloth only.

Start with the bed and wardrobe — they dictate room dimensions and sightlines. A queen bed needs at least 80 cm clearance each side. Buy a queen with a gas-lift storage base for HDB, because under-bed space is prime real estate. Then add a 3-seater sofa, dining table, and only afterwards decorative pieces. MIDHILL buyers often ask which to pick first, because installing the bed first lets you measure every other clearance properly.

Use a damp microfibre cloth with pH-neutral soap, because acidic cleaners etch the sintered-stone glaze within weeks. Wipe spills within 60 seconds — standing water rings the edges. Skip silicone polishes that the care sheet warns against. For sticky fingerprints, a 50:50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water works. Never place hot cookware directly; use a trivet. In Singapore humidity, dry the surface with a cotton cloth after each wipe to prevent water marks.

Run a 240x300 cm rug so it extends 60-70 cm beyond the bed's three exposed sides. A 200x300 cm rug works if it sits beneath the lower two-thirds and nightstands. For HDB masters around 14-16 sqm, the smaller size leaves more walking room. Choose a low-pile wool or polypropylene because thick shag catches dust mites in our climate. A flat-weave rug also pairs better with Scandinavian or Japandi bedroom styling.

Warm whites (Benjamin Moore White Dove or Dulux Maritime White) keep the room airy against walnut's red-brown depth. Cool greys fight walnut and read muddy in evening light. For a Tampines 4-room, a single accent wall in sage green or terracotta adds warmth without competing with the wood grain. Test a 1 sqm swatch on the wall opposite the bed for 24 hours before committing, because HDB lighting shifts cooler at night.

Korean minimal tables typically run 140-160 cm long in solid ash or white oak with a 4 cm thick top. Pair with slim beech chairs in natural or black stain — avoid bulky upholstered seats that visually clash. Keep the table-to-chair height differential within 28-30 cm. In a Punggol condo, choose chairs with a 45 cm seat depth so diners still have 70 cm of knee clearance under a 75 cm table edge.

MIDHILL's 10-year warranty covers frame cracking, joint separation and rail warping — not surface stains or foam softening, which fall under the 2-year surface clause. Lifetime refinishing is included for any structural claim, so scratched tops can be re-coated at cost. You can request the dated batch records and inspection photos for your specific order. Claims are usually cleaning-related: avoid silicone polishes and standing water on edges — both void coverage.

Aim for a floor lamp 150-170 cm tall so the bulb sits 60-80 cm above your seated eye-line. Arc lamps work if the base clears the walkway by at least 30 cm. In a Bedok 4-room, place the lamp behind the sofa's left corner to double as reading light and corner anchor. Choose a warm 2700K LED bulb; cooler 4000K makes walnut and oak look grey under Singapore HDB lighting, which already runs cool.

All MIDHILL wardrobes ship flat-pack in rigid export crates engineered for stacking compression, racking loads, edge impact and point loads. Crates use low-moisture timber plus desiccants matched to cargo volume, plus a vapour barrier to fight monsoon humidity on the 7-10 day sea route. Mirrored doors travel vertically in padded slots with polished faces never touching. Each order carries multi-stage inspection photos you can request by batch ID.

Layer three cushion textures in a cream sofa: one boucle 50x50 cm, one sage or terracotta velvet 45x45 cm, and one stonewashed linen 40x60 cm lumbar. Stick to 3-4 pillows total or the seat looks cluttered. For a Jurong condo with afternoon sun, choose solution-dyed covers that resist UV fade. Down-feather inserts feel luxe but need daily plumping; poly-blend holds shape longer in our humid storage cupboards.

Snake plant, ZZ plant, and pothos tolerate the corner shadow a dresser creates and our 80% humidity without mould issues. Avoid ferns and calatheas near wood — they need misting that warps drawer faces. A 60-80 cm fiddle-leaf fig in a ceramic pot adds height beside the dresser, but rotate weekly so it does not lean toward the window. Wipe dresser base monthly because plant pots leave rings on poorly sealed wood.

A rolled king mattress in a box around 40x40x160 cm fits every HDB service lift, which is typically 1.5-1.8 m deep. The corridor width of 1.2 m is the real test, because the box needs an L-shaped turn at your unit door. Tampines newer blocks have wider corridors but older ones pinch at 1.1 m. Measure the gap between lift door and your unit door before delivery day, because failed attempts trigger a S$80 redelivery fee.

Stripped cam locks happen when the bolt is over-tightened or driven at the wrong angle. MIDHILL's structural warranty covers this within 10 years — email your batch record and they courier a replacement plus a 9 mm wooden dowel to plug the old hole. For DIY, insert a 9 mm dowel with wood glue, let dry 4 hours, redrill, and reinstall. As a stop-gap, Tampines hardware stores stock generic 15 mm cam bolts that fit most Asian flat-packs.

Modern Malaysian condo leans warm — rattan, teak, terracotta, monsoon-inspired textiles, and indoor plants at every corner. Scandinavian styling runs cooler — pale ash, white walls, muted blues, minimal decor, and clean lines. Malaysian condos often layer more pattern and bolder colour because floor plans feel more open. For a Punggol EC, blend both: keep Scandi bones (light wood, white walls), then add one or two Malaysian texture accents like a rattan stool.

Photograph the empty dowel holes and the label on the carton, then email MIDHILL Singapore support within 7 days. They courier a free dowel pack from the Foshan workshop, shipping via DHL Express in 5 to 8 working days. For 4-room HDB flats in Tampines or Punggol, the box is under 2kg, so your letterbox parcel slot handles delivery. No need to be home if you give the courier a safe-drop note for the corridor shelf outside your unit.

Standard 18mm nail-in felt glides from HomeFix or Selffix in Tampines Hub work for most solid oak frames. MIDHILL recommends pushing the glide in by hand before tapping with a rubber mallet to avoid splitting the tapered tenon. The 10-year structural warranty only covers the timber joint itself, so felt pads are considered user-replaceable, not a warranty claim. Keep the spare screws in the original hardware sleeve.

Most compact dining chairs measure 45cm wide x 50cm deep, well under the 1.1m minimum corridor width set by HDB. The carton is usually under 1.2m tall, so even a tight turn at the lift lobby in Jurong West is fine. Check your specific chair box dimensions before ordering, and remember the lift door opening is typically 0.9m. Tape a folded cardboard corner protector if the carton corners get scuffed.

Wipe only with a damp microfibre cloth, then dry immediately. Never leave standing water near the edge joints, as the tropical humidity will push moisture into the cross-linked polyurethane finish over time. Keep the console at least 15cm away from the wall to let air circulate behind it. For a Tampines or Punggol condo, run the air-con for 2 hours daily in the room. Avoid silicone polishes; they leave a film that traps moisture.

MIDHILL treats a broken leg as a transit damage claim. Photograph the carton, the broken leg, and the unit label before assembly. Submit within 48 hours through Singapore customer service. A replacement beech leg leaves Foshan by air, arriving in 5 to 9 working days. Shipping is free under the warranty cover, even though individual hardware packs normally cost US$12. Keep the original foam wrap to protect the matching legs during the claim.

A European-style L-shape works best in a 5-room HDB or condo unit around 90sqm, not a 3-room flat. The chaise module alone is usually 160cm x 90cm, so measure the wall and the corridor turn before committing. European corner sofas from MIDHILL use kiln-dried beech frames rated for 10 years, which justifies the higher ticket. For tighter Tampines 4-room flats, a 2-seater with an ottoman gives the same lounging depth at half the footprint.

Modern furniture refers to the 20th-century Scandinavian and Bauhaus movement, with clean lines, tapered beech legs, and neutral upholstery. Post-modern sofa design plays with unexpected shapes, mixed materials like bouclé with walnut, and bold contrast piping. For a Bedok or Jurong condo, post-modern pieces work as a focal point against minimalist walls, while modern furniture blends into the background. MIDHILL's catalogue labels each piece clearly so you know which style you are ordering.

Don't drill it out without measuring first. MIDHILL's assembly manual lists the exact dowel diameter (usually 8mm or 10mm) and depth. Use a left-hand drill bit to back the broken piece out, then re-glue with Titebond III. Photograph the joint, then email Singapore support for a free replacement dowel pack if it broke under normal assembly force. The 10-year structural warranty covers dowel shear within the first 90 days.

For a Singapore condo with morning sun, oat beige or warm ivory linen curtains soften the dark walnut without competing with it. Avoid pure white, which looks clinical against tropical light. A 220cm drop from ceiling track gives a more generous feel in a standard 2.6m HDB ceiling. MIDHILL's showroom in Lecong pairs walnut consoles with sample fabric swatches so you can see the undertone match before ordering the curtains separately.

Stick to a warm white with a slight yellow base, like Dulux Trade Timeless or Jotun Lady 9915. Cool greys fight the warm honey tones in Scandinavian oak. In a Punggol or Tampines flat with afternoon sun, the warm white reads clean rather than yellow. MIDHILL finishes most oak furniture with cross-linked polyurethane, which holds its colour even against strong tropical UV, so the wall tone stays the visual anchor.

Most MIDHILL queen frames ship in 2 cartons, headboard and siderails separately, each under 25kg. The cartons measure roughly 170x30x20cm each, which fits through any HDB corridor and standard 0.9m lift door. The slat roll comes compressed in a third box under 8kg. Total 3 parcels, easy for one person to carry from the lift lobby to the bedroom in a 4-room HDB flat in Bedok or Jurong.

Only if your sideboard crate exceeds 80kg, which is rare for a 4-door version. MIDHILL's standard sideboards ship in crates of 45 to 60kg, manageable by two delivery men using a trolley. Book the lift in advance through your Tampines Town Council app only for marble-topped units, which can reach 110kg. Otherwise, the standard service lift slot in your condo booking system is sufficient.

Yes, individual hardware packs like camlocks, dowels, and shelf pins ship free when the order is over US$350. Photograph the assembly sheet with the missing item circled, then email Singapore support within 30 days. A small airmail parcel under 0.5kg leaves Foshan and reaches your Punggol or Jurong condo in 7 to 10 working days. GST applies at 9% on the declared value, usually under S$5.

MIDHILL stocks replacement camlocks separately, but they normally ship only as part of a 6-piece hardware pack at US$12 plus postage. Email Singapore support with a photo of the stripped bolt; they often waive the pack fee if the chair is under 90 days old. A free pack leaves Foshan via DHL and arrives in 5 to 8 working days. Meanwhile, a 6mm wooden dowel with PVA glue can rescue the joint temporarily.

A slim 140cm black metal arc lamp with a linen shade keeps the Korean minimal palette intact. Avoid tripod wooden lamps, which read as Scandinavian and clash with the lighter beech frames. Position the lamp 110cm behind the sofa end, not beside it, to free up corridor space. MIDHILL's Korean minimalist range uses oak with cross-linked polyurethane, so the lamp's warm 2700K bulb complements the wood tone without yellowing the finish.
