Furniture Assembly in Leander

IKEA, Wayfair, & Amazon

Furniture is a key ingredient in making a house into a home. We understand that you want your furniture well taken care of, as it is one of the main elements that gives your home character. Finding quality, comfortable furniture at an affordable price is a challenge; so any and every furniture purchase is a major investment. There are several options for more affordable furniture that is delivered to the consumer disassembled. By purchasing furniture that is essentially "incomplete" you can save a great deal of money because you are saving the manufacturer the cost of assembly. Also, shipping furniture not yet assembled is more cost effective. IKEA, Wayfair, and Amazon all have many options for affordable, quality furniture that is not yet assembled.


Unboxing the Furniture

Once your new furniture has arrived, it is tempting to excitedly rip open the box and dump everything out. However, for a successful furniture assembly process, it is best to carefully and deliberately remove all parts and pieces, use the parts list in the included manual to confirm receipt of all necessary parts. Staying organized throughout the furniture assembly process is critical to being successful.


Tool Needed

The types of tool you will need for assembly and installation depend on the piece of furniture and manufacturer. Some pieces come with everything need to put it all together, but more commonly you'll need at least a few handy tools. Typically you'll want to have a variety of sizes of Allen wrenches, crescent wrenches, screw drivers, a ratchet set, a hammer, level, stud finder, tape measure, and perhaps some other common tools. The more complex the project, the more tools you'll usually need to complete it.


Assembly Instructions

Any piece of furniture that needs to be assembled should come with an instruction manual. Again, depending on brand and type of furniture, these instruction manuals can vary greatly. Some furniture assembly instruction guides have no words, everything is explained through images. Others have words but it is clear that they were not initially published in English and not enough effort went into properly translating the instructions because many of the sentences do not make much sense and can be confusing. Some furniture assembly instructions are generic and are specifically for the exact piece of furniture you purchased, but a similar one. Some times the pieces are not labeled properly, nor labeled at all, or the labels do not all match the references in the instructions. In any case, it is critical to follow the instructions slowly and carefully. It is recommended to read through everything from start to finish at least once before actually attempting to start assembling the furniture, then reference the instructions for each step as you progress through the process.
