Many items require some assembly. These tips will help make assembly easy and stress free.
DO
- Follow the instructions provided. They will allow you to check that you have all the parts and show you the right way to put your furniture together.
- Some items are heavy and may require additional people to lift.
- Assembly should be done on a soft surface like carpet to avoid damage. Assemble large and heavy items close to their intended position to reduce how far you will need to move the finished product. Periodically check the fasteners (bolts and screws) and re-tighten them.
DO NOT
- Rush or skip steps. Allow time to assemble your item.
- Avoid using power drills to assemble your furniture unless shown in the instructions. Power drills can over-tighten fasteners causing threading and placing stress on the joint.
- Never throw out the instructions – you never know when you may need them again (like moving house).
