To assemble flat pack furniture, you will need a variety of tools. These may include an Allen key or wrench, a drill, a Phillips and flathead screwdriver, a hammer, a tape measure, and a level. Some furniture may require additional tools. Flat pack furniture typically comes with the necessary screws, so you don’t need to worry about buying any in advance.
Before assembling the flat pack furniture, it is important to check that all the pieces are there. You don’t want to spend time assembling an incomplete desk and then have to take it apart again. Refer to the instruction manual, as there will be a list of included parts.
While you may be able to assemble some flat pack furniture on your own, it’s always a good idea to get the help of a friend. Sometimes you may need to maneuver or handle heavy and awkward-shaped pieces, and you don’t want to risk dropping anything. Additionally, you may need someone to hold a piece in place while you drill.
While many of us think we can assemble flat pack furniture without using instructions, it is highly advised to follow them. There’s nothing worse than assembling an entire table only to realize you’ve put one of the legs on the wrong way. Also, if furniture is assembled incorrectly, it may be unsafe and could cause harm or injury.
Assembling flat pack furniture can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. To speed up the process, invite a friend to help or hire a handyman. If you do it alone, stick to the instructions and be patient. It’s better to take your time and get it right than rush and get it wrong.
