1.) Ask a friend before you buy: Even though a furniture item says ‘self-assembly’ doesn’t mean you can always put it together by yourself. Large furniture such as bookshelves, dressers and desks may require another set of hands.
2.) Stick to brands you know: Self-assembly furniture comes in a wide array of qualities and from manufacturer’s around the world. Choose brands that you’ve heard of to assure quality and comfortably with returning items. If your items has missing pieces or you need customer service, a known manufacturer is a plus.
3.) Research difficulty level before your buy: Similar to a do it yourself project that you wouldn’t start if you didn’t know the difficulty first, the same is true for furniture. Check with the manufacturer’s guidelines and/or product description before buying.
4.) Shipping and handling rates: If you are buying your self-assembly furniture online, check out much it will cost to ship it to you. Most furniture is considered bulk rate and will have a certain fee based on its dimensions and weight. A price that is too good to be true, may be so if you don’t research the shipping costs first!
5.) Know the return policy: When buying self-assembly furniture check to see where to return the product if you need to. Some furniture manufacturers will not accept you taking it back to the store, and you may have to ship it to a warehouse or distribution facility. This information should be available in the instructions or by asking a customer service representative when ordering.
6.) Be patient: While some people may be able to put furniture together quickly, others may struggle and patience is key. If you are not a patient person or are working with a friend who isn’t consider buying already built furniture. Self-assembly items shouldn’t be rushed through, but once you finish, the accomplishment will be priceless.
7.) Count out your pieces before you begin: Most quality self-assembly items will come with a graphic diagram of each of the pieces, and the count for each type of piece. Count out the items thoroughly before beginning.
8.) Ensure you have the right tools: Simple self-assembly furniture may come with a simple tool to tighten screws and nuts and bolts. While more challenging furniture may require power tools. Ensure you have these, or can rent or borrow them to complete your project.
9.) Research recalls: It is natural for furniture manufacturers to have recalls, but too many from one company may be a red light to stay clear of buying future items from them. Safety recalls concerning baby furniture, and choking hazards should be researched before you invest in a self-assembly item.
10.) Get help taking it home: The packaged furniture in a box can be extremely heavy and dense. If buying from a store ask for assistance to get it in your car, and make plans for how you will get it in your home. Often times opening the box in your car, and carrying pieces one by one can satisfy this issue.
