Question 1

Can wall beds fit in Wan Chai lifts?

Accepted Answer

~55% of Wan Chai lifts are 1.4×1.2m — too narrow for assembled cabinet. We use 4-panel flat-pack assembly + stair-carry up to 5th floor with HKD 800-1,500 surcharge. Walk-ups are common on Hennessy Road side; stair-carry may be required even with lift due to management restrictions.

Vertical Queen HKD 38-48k + HKD 1,200-1,800 delivery surcharge; Vertical Single 90cm HKD 22-30k + HKD 1,000 surcharge. Horizontal Queen (for ceilings under 2.4m) HKD 42-52k. Freestanding variant +12% for renters.

Question 5

What wall types are common in Wan Chai?

Accepted Answer

Wan Chai has mixed construction: 1960s-70s walk-ups often have cast concrete; 1980s-90s towers may have brick infill; post-2000 conversions may use steel-stud drywall. Structural pre-assessment is required; never anchor to tile alone. Freestanding variant recommended for uncertain wall conditions.
