Experiences of Tikamoon

I've been eyeing up some bathroom furniture on the Tikamoon website for some time. Just as I was about to finally hit the order button I thought I'd better check out the online reviews. Annoyingly they are very, very mixed, which has made me very nervous- I had absolutely fallen in love with their designs! Has anyone had any experience ordering bathroom furniture from this company? If so how did you find them to deal with and how good was the furniture when it turned up? Has anyone found a similar company offering similar contemporary teak bathroom furniture? TIA

Hi! I bought one of their vanities for my bathroom. They are absolutely gorgeous. However, they stain very very easily. But this is easily worked around by using outdoor varnish on the piece before installing. This is particularly crucial if you will add a basin on it.

I had one of their bathroom vanity units in my old house. Beautiful, but it did need treating as @MH0084 says.

Not bathroom, but I ordered a piece of furniture from them and the top of it had a huge split in it. They did arrange a replacement and the item is lovely, but it took another month to receive it.

If it's a vanity unit you want, we just bought a teak cabinet from somewhere else (La Redoute I think?) and got a hole cut in the top for the sink.

I purchased a beautiful (to look at) ceramic basin. After couple of months two large cracks appeared at either side. Water poured out the sides. I emailed them and they offered a random amount refund, basin was £300. My sil emailed on my behalf with pictures and I eventually got full refund.

I've got a teak "slats" vanity and matching tallboy installed last May.
I used a clear oil on it before installation, the oil makes it darker but that fitted in with my 70's inspired bathroom.

There were one or two small splinters which I glued and sanded before oiling.
The build quality is really solid.

The wood looks beautiful, it's still in great condition so far, I am quite a careful, non splashy person though. You have to wipe up drips immediately to prevent water marks forming.

It came with a mid grey marble basin which is very beautiful, but bits started flaking off inside within a few weeks of use. In retrospect it's obvious this would happen as the beauty of the marble is that there are many inclusions and veins, even what looks like plant fossils in it.

When the bits started flaking off I emailed tikamoon and they responded immediately offering a replacement, but the blooming thing is all plumbed and tiled/grouted in and I strongly suspect a replacement would start flaking off again, so we took a refund instead.
I seal the cracks with epoxy resin when they appear.

Thank you all so much, this is really useful. Yes they really are gorgeous @MH0084 ! Hmmm, much to consider here, I'm not sure I could bear all of the expense and upheaval of a renovation just for the furniture to leak/stain/splinter/flake (delete as appropriate from all of your experiences@GCAcademic @Beaverbridge @happysunr1se! ) I'm fairly careful, but I can't say the same for everyone else that will use the room! Back to the drawing board for me I think...
