Furniture Assembly FAQs
What are some common furniture assembly problems?
Furniture assembly can go wrong in several ways, leading to wasted time and damaged parts. These are some common issues Alfie helps solve:
- Missing or incorrect screws – pros bring spares and know workarounds.
- Confusing flat-pack instructions – skilled assemblers know the brands inside out.
- Damaged or wobbly builds – caused by incorrect assembly; our pros get it right.
- Large or complex builds – wardrobes, beds, or modular systems that need two people or advanced tools.
- Disassembly and reassembly – moving house? Alfie can help take apart and reassemble furniture safely.
With Alfie, it’s simple: describe your furniture, book the job, and relax while a trusted assembler gets it done.
