Do It Yourself for furniture assembly

If you don’t want to use a furniture assembly service, you can always assemble your furniture yourself. To do this, you will need a certain number of tools, time, and above all, prior knowledge in the matter.

You can assemble your furniture in three steps.

Prepare the materials and allow sufficient time

As in the kitchen, you must plan everything you need to assemble your furniture. This assumes that you already know the “assembly recipe” and the necessary tools. To do this, read the assembly instructions that come with the furniture.

Depending on the type of furniture, you may need flat and cross-head screwdrivers, screws, a hammer, Allen keys, nails, etc. which may sometimes be provided in the kit.The other very important aspect is that of time. Indeed, for a simple amateur, assembling a piece of furniture can require a lot of time, especially if you are at your first experience.

Carry out the assembly of the furniture

Once you know the assembly technique and have prepared the material, you now need to move on to assembling the furniture. To do this, you need to:

• Arrange the equipment within easy reach;
• Apply the assembly technique specific to the furniture (the arrangement of the furniture parts, screwing, etc.);
• Preventing accidents. This can mean putting away steel spikes to avoid hurting yourself with them. Putting equipment on the ground to avoid injury, etc.

DIY is especially recommended for small and easy-to-assemble furniture. 

Check the condition of the assembly

Checking the assembly will allow you to ensure that the parts have been arranged and screwed correctly. It avoids any surprises later. To do this, you must pay attention to every detail and scrutinize the work that has been done.

The goal is to detect a possible anomaly and correct it without wasting time. For example, it is advisable to sit on the bed base that has been assembled to check that the bed legs are securely assembled.

In any case, keep in mind that if these steps seem too complex to you, using a furniture assembly assistance service can protect you from a bad experience.
