Not everyone has the good fortune of two young daughters and a cat to help them with their furniture assembly. For all those less fortunate there is always Simple Assembly Me Hole!

This second one in the series – a contemporary kitchen in Bakersfield, California – a round kitchen with a round island, designed by Troy Adams. If you order it, we’ll install it!

These photographs might look like the result of a frustrated weekend of furniture assembly. They are however, the artistic expression of Berlin based artist Nathan Baker. He creates sculptural forms using Ikea’s ready to assemble chair – model Stefan. You might be forgiven for thinking this is easier to do than actually put the Stefan together into a functional chair.

So recognizable. So difficult not to laugh out loud as he (or is it his wife?) shares with the world an afternoon of furniture assembly. Had he lived in or around Dublin one of our carpenters could have saved him a great deal of bother… and robbed us from the delight at his struggle and frustration.

It appears that you might not be the only one who has met with difficulty and frustration when trying to put together that new wardrobe or table. But don’t let it go to far. There are experts who take the death out of Ikea. And if it is death you seek, I imagine death by chocolate is a more preferable way to go.

No don’t worry, I’m not going to mention the word. Although I’m sure you’re not immune to the point of sales and merchandising in the shops.

Shortbread and sherry is all well and good, but I think many of us would prefer something a little more permanent.

• Say a new bookcase for when you spend the tenner book token Auntie Kitty sends you every year since you where five!
• Or indeed a new kitchen in which to entertain the aforementioned dotty relative….sherry and shortbread being the order of the day.
• Prehaps you’re fed up with the halfbuilt ruin at the bottom of the garden, “Yes dear I know it was supposed to be a shed but….”
• Or when you settle down to Tubridy on Friday night and that broken spring in the sofa, makes it more turgid than Tubridy!

You know its the time of year when you have a perfect excuse to dump the old. Or, just to go out and get some new furniture.

And while you roast chestnuts on an open fire, we’ll put all your new stuff together, just leave out some biccies and a glass of milk for us……ahem!

We have been getting a number of calls from men. Yes I know, men do actually ask for help, although i have my theory that it was a fed-up women passenger who invented GPS.

Now whilst their tooled-up brethren may frown into their SKIL mugs, there is nothing wrong with getting a professional assembler to do a job.  Egos are salved.  And Saturday can go back to its rightful place as sport watching day.

Or  as in the case of a customer recently who has three men in the house and a half-assembled wardrobe sitting on the long finger awaiting her fabulous collection of gunas and accompanying shoes – domestic harmony was restored.

So any men with a handful of thumbs feel free to give us a call.  We are very discreet and won’t publish your failings here.   And to our women readers satisfaction is guaranteed!

I saw an ad for flatpack furniture assembly being done for €7.  How can that be?   It’s not!  Check out the pricing below.  As you can see, we offer better pricing on pretty much all items. Notice how the prices below look small at a glance, eg. €7 – but they are actually prices for the components of each item!

At Simple Assembly Me Hole, we don’t penalise you for choosing a 4 drawer chest of drawers.
So what are you waiting for? Book in your flatpack furniture assembly with us today.

Update: here’s another one who’s charging €35 for a call out, then an additional 20% of the price of your furniture on top of things.  How can he get away with that?  It’s extremely expensive.

We charge €30 per item. All up.
