We've all been through that … In the midst of boxes, fixings, furniture pieces that don't go together, and instructions in a foreign language that might as well not be included, we regret our decision to assemble flat furniture ourselves. Maybe this example is a bit extreme, but you get what we're up to, don't you?
Flat pack furniture is a nightmare for many people, and if you are looking for “flat pack furniture assembling” you might be one of those people. You dream of putting together your flat-pack wardrobe or flat-pack sofa without a headache. You want the assembly of your new flat-pack cabinets or flat-pack bedroom furniture with your partner to go smoothly and without any arguments. Your dreams can come true if you follow our tips for assembling flat pack furniture! And if all fails, all it takes is a search for flat pack furniture near me and our London artisans will be right there.
1. Get another pair of hands.
No matter what you are assembling, it is important to have support. A friend, family member, partner, or simply an acquaintance whom you've bribed with blueberry muffins and a second pair of hands to help you assemble flat pack furniture are essential.
2. Always be one step ahead.
You ordered an Ikea flat pack or flat back furniture from another website and are waiting for the furniture to arrive to find out what you need to assemble. Not! Visit the furniture website and find the instructions and materials you will need in advance. So if you don't have a specific tool you can order it and once you've received your furniture, it's ready to be put together that day!
3. Choose the right place.
If you're trying to assemble a huge wardrobe in the living room but want it to fit in your bedroom, it may be wiser to assemble it in your bedroom. How are you going to get it into your bedroom after that? Each piece of clothing might feel light, but when you put it all together it will be too heavy for you and your friend to move and then you end up with your wardrobe in the living room. Probably not the place for it.
4. Read the instructions.
If you are reading the instructions quickly, you are not reading the instructions. Yes, it may look simple and you are confident that you will be doing it in no time, but what is more likely is that you are trying to balance three flat packages with one hand and going through the instructions with the other so that not all of it does not fall on the floor … take a cup of coffee, stand up and read the instructions carefully before starting the assembly.
5. Take your time.
Did you think that assembling your bedroom furniture would be easy and quick so you had lunch plans with your friends and are now considering canceling them? It might actually be good to take a break and then come back with a refreshing take to complete the assembly. Perhaps you took a few hours putting together a flat chest of drawers and are now overwhelmed and stressed because it is taking longer than expected? Take your time. If you can't finish today, you will tomorrow.
6. Keep it tidy.
Do you have five different sizes of screws that you need to assemble your flatbed and now they are all mixed up on the floor? You can do better. Separate them by size and shape. So if you need a specific one, you will know where it is.
7. Pay professionals for it.
When you're frustrated and feeling that you've had enough of enigmatic pieces of furniture together, it may be time to give in. You may have already started typing "How much does it cost to assemble flat furniture". It's okay to make someone do it.
