You have always admired Ikea furniture and thought of yourself as a handy person. Now you really need new furniture, you have scoured the internet, and Ikea catalogues online.
It is time for a trip to the local Ikea store to pick up a sideboard for the dining room. You get it home and rip the wrapping apart to get started. Then you get a cup of tea and mull the whole thing over.
Ikea furniture assembly is easy if you set yourself up properly right from the start and follow a few simple steps.
Step 1: Remove Everything From Packaging
Remove everything from its wrapping – all the components, tools, and screws and washers. Check each item off against the list in the instruction book to make sure everything you need is in the pack. If it is not – take it back to get whatever is missing.
It is better to check now than getting almost half way through your ikea furniture assembly.
Step 2: Make Sure You Have All Parts
Check all the parts and make sure all the holes and features are shown in the instructions. Make sure you always do this before you try to start trying to assemble your Ikea furniture. If not everything is there take it back to Ikea – they stock free spare parts and tools near the customer service desk.
Step 3: Prepare Your Workspace
Cover your hard surfaced floors with newspapers and towels to protect them and your new Ikea furniture while you build it. There is nothing worse than scratches on your beautiful wood floors and your brand new furniture.
Step 4: Read Through Flatpack Assembly Instructions
Before you start, read through the instructions completely. Then read them again and see if they make sense in a logical order. Checking all this out will save you a lot of time and frustration later on, and will help you get it right the first time.
Step 5: Prepare Your Flatpack Pieces
Arrange all the components in the order you will put them together and follow the instructions to assemble your ikea furniture. Follow the pictures carefully and make sure the pieces you put together match. The great thing about ikea furniture assembly is there is only one way all the pieces fit together.
Step 6: Assemble Your IKEA Furniture
As part of your ikea furniture assembly make sure you use all the parts in the construction – there is nothing worse than getting to the end of your project and there are parts left over. Then you will need to pull it all apart to find out where you went wrong and start all over again.
Step 7: Tighten Your Screws and Secure For Use
As a last job, now everything is together, check all the screws and that all parts of your ikea furniture assembly are secure and ready for use.
Ikea furniture assembly is really easy when you follow a few simple steps. But if you find it too difficult find a professional ikea furniture assembler who will get you out of trouble in your own home.
