Umbra Sticks 5 Wall Hook

It is kinda obvious that I really love Umbra Hooks and their designs. Because we had 3 bedroom doors, this one took really long to accumulate at the budget I set myself. In fact, there was a point I almost gave up. I even tried to obtain a 2nd hand one from Carousell and collapsed emotionally when the seller was not responsive. By a stroke of good luck Umbra stocked up one piece and I immediately grabbed that missing one. And finally, we are complete. 

This set had better finishings and more colour options, but I went for black for consistency. We were also lucky because with the stopper, the pegs could be left open without hitting the wall behind the door. No complaints. For those who are also opting for this, perhaps you can ask a friend overseas to assist. 

Umbra Skyline 5 Wall Hook Review

 

Finally, our Umbra Skyline 5 Wall Hook is up on the wall outside our bomb shelter. This piece has caught my eye because it was such a functional statement piece. You can hang about 5 light items by moving some of the building pegs outwards. I envision us using it for our everyday items and maybe a jacket/ hat. My only grouse is that the finishing is not as good as its counterpart - Sticks 5 Wall Hook.

We took a bit of time accumulating this piece because I was trying to get it at a price within budget. For those who are keen, you need to put this piece on your shopping cart and keep monitoring on Shopee/ Lazada. Once a year, they will stock up a limited 1 to 2 pieces. With some stacked discounts, it will become very affordable. No regrets really :P

Umbra Joey Soap Dispenser Failed Me

I guess there is some truth that you should always take a physical look at items before purchasing them. I saw the Umbra Joey Soap Dispenser on Robinsons ($39.80) (Only Charcoal was available at that time). This is also a top seller on Umbra's website. When I got it, it was kinda of disappointing even though I had an additional 10% off using this discount code (ForFunk10)

I sort of had this expectation it would improve my sink's aesthetics. But it didn't. It is made of ceramic which means that it is heavy and breakable (thank god my toddler is not particularly interested in it.) Its little joey pouch was great for storing my mini brush but trapped water :'( I did change the sponge, is it why it doesn't look as good?

This is my only disappointment thus far, still really crazy about Umbra's products for its designs. Psss, so far Robinsons online store has the best discounts for them. And when you tap on my discount code - FORFUNK10, the price is basically unbeatable. Hehe.
