How Long Does It Take to Assemble Flat Packed Furniture?

When you've made the savvy choice of buying flat-packed furniture, one of the first questions you'll inevitably ask is, "How long will it take to assemble it?"

The answer to this question isn't exactly straightforward, as it depends on various factors including the complexity of the item, your proficiency with DIY tasks, the quality of the assembly instructions, and the tools required.

This article provides some general insights to help you estimate the time you might need.

Why Flat-Packed Furniture? 

Let's begin by understanding what flat-packed furniture is. Also known as ready-to-assemble furniture, it is a type of furniture that is purchased in multiple pieces and requires the customer to assemble it. It's become increasingly popular due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of transport, and a broad range of design options.

How Astra Reduces Your Assembly Time

Now, how long does the assembly process take? For simple pieces like a bench seat, it could take as little as 5-10 minutes. However, larger and more complex items may take longer, especially if you're doing it alone.

Astra Street Furniture has made a name for itself in the flat-packed furniture market, specifically for its user-friendly assembly process.  Upon dispatching your furniture, we will send you a comprehensive assembly guide via email. This guide contains step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams and easy-to-follow language, drastically reducing the chances of confusion or missteps.

We also simplify the assembly process by pre-assembling some of the more intricate parts. For instance, if you're setting up a flat-packed table, you'll find that the slats are already bolted down to the brackets. This means the tabletop and seats can be easily installed onto the leg/tabletop frames.

To give you a better idea of the process, here's the simplified sequence for a table setting:

• Unpack all components and check them against the inventory in your assembly guide.
• You'll notice that the slats for seats and tabletops are already bolted down to the brackets. This pre-assembled unit will serve as the base for your furniture.
• Next, you assemble the leg frames according to the assembly guide.
• Once the leg frames are set up, you attach the seat base and tabletop base to the respective frames.
• You're now at the final step, which involves securing all parts and making sure everything is sturdy.

This streamlined process allows for a quicker and smoother assembly, so you can enjoy your new piece of furniture in less time.

Remember, while speed is a factor, it's also crucial to ensure safe and correct assembly. Taking an extra few minutes to double-check each step can save you a lot of time in the long run. So, whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a first-time assembler, flat-packed furniture like Astra’s can be a great option for efficient, stylish, and affordable furnishing!
