"Step-by-Step Guide: How to Assemble Your New Furniture"

Successful and Effortless Furniture Assembly Tips

More often than not, the purchase of self-assembly furniture, also known as kit furniture, presents a significant saving. This has given rise to the popularity of kit furniture stores and do-it-yourself (DIY) blogs. Although manufacturers strive to simplify the assembly process by providing step-by-step manuals, additional tips may come in handy.

Before You Start: Tools You'll Need

A set of screwdrivers (at least a flathead and Phillips), a hammer and pliers are essential. Some kits may include an Allen wrench, otherwise, ensure to have one at hand. For more complex pieces, specialized tools may be necessary.

Materials

Typically, DIY furniture kits come with all the accessories needed for assembly. The most common components include screws, dowels, tensioners, guides, hinges, and nails. No need to make an extra trip to the hardware store.

Find an Assistant and Follow the Instructions

Generally speaking, four hands are better than two. An extra pair of hands helps make the assembly process smoother and faster. If you can't find a helper, remember Manofix is here to help.

First, remove the accessories from the box and ensure they are all present. Second, identify all the furniture parts before you start. Third, follow the manufacturer's instructions step-by-step.

This is the most successful approach. Trusting your instincts may be creative but often yields unsatisfactory results. If you have a picture of the finished product, it can be helpful if you have doubts on how to assemble it.
