majlis furniture — Frequently asked questions

How do I clean and maintain a solid teak majlis set?

Wipe weekly with a damp microfibre cloth and mild pH-neutral soap, then dry immediately. Never leave standing water near joints. A written cleaning instruction ships with every MIDHILL order covering abrasive bans, high-pH cleaner bans, and silicone polish bans. Use coasters under all drinks; direct heat marks void coverage. Surface warranty runs 2 years; structure warranty covers frame integrity for 10 years.

What curtain and paint colours suit a Scandinavian majlis set in Bedok?

Scandinavian majlis sets in light ash or pale oak pair with sheer ivory curtains (180cm drop for floor-to-ceiling HDB windows) and walls painted in Jotun Sensual Beige or Dulux Soft Beige. Skip stark white walls, which read cold beside timber. Add one charcoal floor lamp and a single potted plant. Cushions should stay muted grey, sand, or blush pink to keep the Nordic calm.

What is the first piece to buy when furnishing a majlis living room?

Buy the main three-seater sofa first, because it anchors layout, dictates rug size, and sets scale for everything else. Measure your lift, corridor, and room before ordering. In a 4-room HDB, the main sofa usually runs 240-280cm wide. Cushions, side tables, and console come later once you live with the anchor piece for 2-3 weeks. This prevents mismatched proportions in compact Singapore homes.

Can a majlis set fit inside a HDB store room without air-conditioning?

A majlis set stored in a non-air-conditioned HDB storeroom will likely warp within 3-6 months due to Singapore humidity averaging 80% RH. Store only wrapped in breathable cotton covers with desiccant packs changed monthly. MIDHILL export crates use low-moisture timber, desiccant matched to cargo volume, and vapour barrier wrap. Long-term, climate-controlled storage at 22-24 degrees C is strongly advised.

Will a marble-top majlis coffee table crack during delivery to Singapore?

Marble and mirror components ship vertically in slotted positions with polished faces never touching. The rigid crate base matters more than extra thickness. MIDHILL crates are engineered for stacking compression, racking, edge impact, and point loads. Inspect at delivery before signing; surface warranty runs 2 years against cracking from transit. Report transit damage within 48 hours to qualify for free replacement boards.

How does the MIDHILL 10-year warranty work for a majlis set?

MIDHILL provides a 10-year structural warranty on frame integrity and a 2-year surface warranty on finishes, with lifetime refinishing offered at cost. Coverage excludes damage from abrasive cleaners, high-pH products, standing water, direct heat, or silicone polishes. Claims require the dated batch inspection record, which MIDHILL provides per order. The Lecong Foshan showroom works by appointment, evaluating shortlists within two working days.

Can I view a majlis set before buying in Singapore?

MIDHILL's Lecong showroom in Foshan operates by appointment, where buyers arrive with a dimension schedule and leave with a specification within five working days. Singapore buyers typically review 360-degree videos, fabric swatches shipped by courier, and detailed CAD drawings before committing. Order confirmation triggers a multi-stage inspection with dated batch records you can request, including photos of your own pieces.

Do I need to air-freight or sea-freight a majlis set from China?

Sea freight remains the practical choice for majlis sets, costing SGD 350-SGD 600 per crate from Foshan to Singapore PSA port over 7-10 days. Air freight triples the cost and rarely fits oversized crates. Allow 14-21 working days total door-to-door, including 9% GST clearance and local delivery to Jurong, Tampines, or Punggol. White-glove installation is available for HDBs above the 10th floor.
