Wardrobe Assembly

One of the most popular furniture assembly jobs of all is wardrobes.  And why  not?  Who wants to face into constructing such a large item of furniture?

The good news is that we do.  And we’re pretty great at it.

But there’s something I need to clarify.   It’s in relation to what is a wardrobe and what is a series of pieces that make up a wardrobe.

These are wardrobes. They have 4 sides, and 2 doors:

This is a wardrobe system. Swankier than your bog standard traditional wardrobe, but oh such a stylish addition to any room.  See how this one has a chest of drawers inside it?  And interesting sliding doors and shelving too:

The wardrobe above is from IKEA. We recently assembled this for a happy customer. But because it is made up of 5 separately assembled pieces,  we charged for 5 items and not 1.  The customer understood and was happy with that.

So when you’re placing your order for a wardrobe assembly, please consider your wardrobe’s component parts. If it’s a super swanky 5 piece number, please put it down as such. That way there’ll be no embarrassment on anyone’s part when it comes to the job.

Emerging Trends

Now that we’re a whole month in operation, some trends are emerging:

• Busiest day: Mondays. Lots of you start projects over the weekend and can’t finish them.  So we’ve had a fair few dining room suites, bedroom suites, and children’s bedrooms that needed completion.
• Most popular item: Wardrobes. IKEA must be selling a stack of them.  We are certainly assembling a load of them.  Double wardrobes with slidey drawers are the most popular.
• Most relieved: when we come and erect your shelves.  IKEA are great at giving you the shelving, but they don’t really go into detail about how you can get them on the wall!
