I'm Chinese but .... Every time I say some of the things QFire has said, I get branded as racist. Whatever.
I bought a set of plastic drawers last month from Carrefour, City Centre, Doha. At triple the price I'd get at home, the drawers looked like they were value for money. At least the display sets did, so I bought one. When I got home and opened it up to assemble it, the bottom drawer was in pieces. Not talking about the "to be assembled parts". I mean,the drawer itself was really in pieces! Obviously, not transported well and more obviously, substandard materials in its production line.
And the trouble it took me to go back to City Centre to get it exchanged was a major hassle - I didn't have transport at that time and had problems getting Karwa taxi to find my abode. Major hassle. Anyway, it was made in the PRC. I'd have thought that in the ME where money is not really the issue, they'd look into better quality control ... but nooooo...
//By the way, I originally intended to post my reply with just my 1st sentence.. Oops!
/But having said that, I started and ended my postie with the same word so I guess that ties things up nicely, no?
No.
