Still A Great Deal from Flatpack Assembly Suffolk

Can you believe it's February already? And that you missed our great January offer?

No, neither can I! But you still get a great deal on furniture assembly from Flatpack Assembly Suffolk when you book us for a weekday job - and even our weekend rates are very affordable. With most retailers still offering great deals for furniture and other items, the price for our assembly service is still likely to be covered by the savings you'll make in the store.

Our hourly rate, and minimum charge, is £30 for weekdays and I've just decided that during February we will hold that price for evening hours as well. As a guide, a single chest of drawers takes about an hour; a double one, like the Ikea unit I assembled on Friday, takes about two hours.

Book us by calling 07787 403 119, or you can send a text to the same number or use our booking form.

Last Chance to Take Advantage of Our January Offer

It's 26th January and that means this weekend will be your last opportunity to take advantage of the January sales - not just on the things you buy for your home but our Flatpack Assembly service, too.

Because for January only, we will build your furniture at the weekend and only charge you our weekday rates (from £30).

With many major retailers offering 50% and more off furniture, our January offer means you can easily have fully-assembled furniture this weekend for less than the usual price of a "box of bits"!

Of course, we will still be available at that price for weekdays, so you can still get a bargain after Sunday night - assuming the sales are still on.

Meanwhile, we still have some weekend slots available, so book us now, while you can.

Call or text 07787 403 119 now to book your slot.

A New One on Me, and Aspace Furniture Too

Today brought an interesting drive to a part of Suffolk I didn't know, to assemble furniture I'd never seen before - without instructions.

Thankfully, it all went well!

Aspace is a UK manufacturer, setting their sights and prices above the more famous names, and their furniture is solid and heavy, as I found today. Luckily, they use many of the same assembly techniques and principles as Ikea, Tesco, et al, so putting together two identical chests of drawers and two simple desks wasn't difficult, even without an illustration, once I'd identified the parts and worked out how they must fit together.

Anyway, the second chest was straightforward once I'd completed the first.

I'll upload a few pictures of the assembled items soon. Meanwhile, you can see Aspace's furniture on their website www.aspace.co.uk

I'm happy to say the customer was pleased with the results:

PS. Here is an idea of what two lucky girls' bedrooms look like now:


New Courier Service Added

We've added a Suffolk based courier service to the main website. Rather than try to compete with bulk carriers (which would be daft) we've decided to offer the same kind of exclusive, high-value service that we do with our furniture assembly service.

This means a door to door delivery, with your valuable package, parcel or document never leaving our driver's sight and all at a very competive rate.

All Makes of Flatpack Furniture Fixed

This week I've dismantled and assembled flatpack wardrobes, chests of drawers, and bunk beds and so far I've needed three tools for all of them - a phillips screwdriver, an allen key and a small hammer. For a while today I thought I might need a pair of pliers but I was wrong.

More interesting (if you're into this kind of thing) is that two very different items from two different retailers were clearly made in the same factory, or at least using the same parts suppliers. This does make my job easier but it also makes your furniture better than ever.

It seems natural selection and evolution work in the flatpack furniture industry as they do in the natural world. Gone are the half-baked methods of assembly that led to so many rickety bookshelves and collapsing cabinets!.The sturdiest and simplest (the 'fittest') methods have seen off the competition.

Ikea and Tesco (and others) have settled on a method of construction that can safely be used with different materials (solid pine and particle board) to produce sturdy and simple furniture without the need for complicated joints or glue. Better still, the furniture can be dismantled with minimum risk of damage and rebuilt in a new home.

Today I also dismantled and rebuilt a set of bunk beds. Now, if they can just develop a better way of attaching all those slats that job will become a lot simpler too!

Actually, I have an idea... Which way to the patent office?
