Q. Is Ready-to-Assemble and Flat Pack Furniture the Same Thing?

A. Yes, flat pack furniture is sometimes called ready-to-assemble since it is delivered in flat packed cartons and must be put together before you can use it.

Q. How Difficult Is It to Assemble Flat Pack Furniture?

A. It depends on the furniture piece. Simple pieces, like a bar stool, can be very easy to assemble. On the other hand, a wardrobe can have a lot of pieces and requires more skill to assemble correctly.

Q. Do I Need Any Tools to Assemble Flat Pack Furniture?

A. It will depend on the piece and manufacturer. Most manufacturers will include “special” tools needed with certain hardware parts like a ‘star” wrench. However, all other tools needed like screwdrivers, hammer, etc. you provide yourself.

Q. How Difficult Is It to Read Flat Pack Furniture Assembly Instructions?

A. Again, it depends on the manufacturer and piece you are putting together. Some assembly instructions are very easy to read and understand. Other instructions can be more difficult as they may lack images showing what to do or not have any text and just images.

Q. What Is Flat Pack Furniture Made From?

A. Some furniture pieces are made from solid wood. Others can be made from particleboard or pressboard. Some pieces are made from medium density fiberboard. You will also have pieces that use a combination of different materials like solid wood and particleboard. Plastic parts and components are also common with some types of flat pack furniture.

Q. Are There Any Benefits of Hiring Flat Pack Furniture Assemblers?

A . If you get easily frustrated when putting together ready-to-assemble furniture, don’t have the proper tools, or simply do not feel like doing the work, hiring flat pack furniture assemblers is a great idea. Doing so provides you with the following benefits:

• Assemblers have all the tools needed to put together one or hundreds of furniture pieces.
