Flat pack furniture makes it easier to order a wide range of styles online or collect them from a shop, but putting everything together can take considerably longer than expected. A compact cabinet or television stand may arrive with numerous panels, fittings, hinges, drawer runners and different types of fixings.
The available working space can also make a difference. Long shelves and side panels need room to be laid out safely, while doors, drawers and back panels have to be fitted in the correct order. Trying to rush the process can lead to damaged edges, misplaced fittings or components having to be taken apart and rebuilt.
McKnight’s Flat Pack Assembly takes a patient and methodical approach. The supplied components are checked and organised, the manufacturer’s instructions are followed, and doors or drawers are adjusted where the design allows. The finished item is then ready for you to inspect.
Every item is checked before booking. The service is for suitable freestanding, self-assembly products and does not include bespoke joinery, fitted furniture, property alterations, electrical work or wall mounting.
Acceptance is based on the exact item rather than its general description, because similarly named products can vary significantly in size, weight and complexity.
Suitable small and medium freestanding products may include:
Wide television benches, large entertainment centres and unusually heavy cabinets must be checked before booking. Floating units, television wall mounting and cable routing through walls are not included.
Suitable products may include:
Lift-top designs need to be assessed individually. Heavy glass, stone, marble and ceramic products are not normally suitable for this one-person service.
Potentially suitable items include:
Tall bookcases and large room-divider units require closer checking. Wall-mounted or floating shelves are not included.
Suitable products may include:
Some IKEA KALLAX products and similar ranges may be considered after the exact model and dimensions have been checked.
Suitable items may include:
Larger or wide cabinets and products containing substantial glass must be assessed individually. Heavy stone, marble or ceramic sections are not accepted.
Items that may be suitable include:
Send the exact product link so the dimensions, construction and total package weight can be checked.
Some living-room chairs are supplied partly or fully flat packed and require the frame, legs, arms or seat sections to be assembled.
Large recliners, bulky chairs and products whose instructions require two people are not accepted.
Smaller seating and storage products may include:
Sofas, sofa beds, built-in window seats and large multi-seat furniture are outside the service.
Where every product is suitable, several pieces can be assembled during the same visit.
Send a separate link for every product and state the required quantity. Complete information helps me check the work and prepare an accurate combined quotation.
Suitable living-room products from a wide range of online and high-street retailers can be considered.
The retailer or brand does not determine whether a job can be accepted. Each product is reviewed according to its dimensions, package weight, construction method, instructions and access requirements.
For example, a compact IKEA coffee table or small IKEA KALLAX unit may be suitable, while a large IKEA BESTÅ combination requiring wall installation may not be. Always send the exact retailer link, model number or clear photographs rather than only providing the shop name.
Every product is reviewed, but the following types need particular attention.
Send the retailer link or model number. I may also ask for dimensions, package weights or photographs of the boxes and instructions. A product is only accepted where its assembly, handling requirements and intended working area are suitable for a one-person service.
For safety and to keep the service focused on manageable freestanding furniture, I do not normally accept the following.
Please send the product details if you are uncertain. I will confirm whether the item falls within the service before you decide to book.
Provide a link for every item, the quantity, postcode and relevant access or parking information.
I review the design, dimensions, packages and likely assembly requirements.
If the products are suitable, I provide a fixed quotation for the work described.
Once the quotation is accepted, a suitable appointment or arrival window can be agreed.
Place all packages in the intended room and clear enough floor space for safe assembly.
I bring standard tools, follow the supplied instructions and leave the item ready to inspect.
A little preparation helps the assembly proceed safely and efficiently.
It is generally best not to unpack every box in advance. Small fittings can be misplaced and components from similar products may become mixed together.
If essential parts are missing, damaged or incorrect, the furniture may not be completed. Replacement components normally need to be obtained by the customer.
