How to make the most out of IKEA flat-pack furniture

The coffee table is old and in a mess. The cat has scratched at the legs one time too many, the toddler has scribbled all over the surface, and there are more rings on it than in a jewellry store. It needs replacing, you want a good coffee table, at an inexpensive price.

The best way to do this is to go to IKEA and buy a flat-pack coffee table. Flat-pack IKEA coffee tables range from £15 to £150, compared to the prices in furniture stores which may start from £150. Flat-pack furniture is great because you can take it home straight away from the store, and fit it into the car. It is cheaper, because flat-pack furniture has less transport costs, and the lower cost is passed to the consumer, making it cheap as well as quick to obtain.

Flat-pack furniture is a viable substitute to buying ready made furniture from a store, because it is more expensive to transport five ready made tables than fifty flat-pack tables, and ready made furniture needs to be ordered, sometimes it could take months to get that table set or bookshelf. On top of that, if you move house, you may not know how to disassemble furniture to take it with you, so you will have the instructions with you to unassemble the furniture, and re-assemble again.

Flat-pack furniture isn’t hard to assemble, you don’t need an engineering degree to make a shelf, or fill secondary education job openings in a workshop to make a table. IKEA flat pack furniture has diagramatic steps, at each step you can look at the diagram and what needs to be fitted next. You can compare your item to the picture in the instructions so you know if you’re doing it right or wrong. If you have trouble assembling an item, you could ask for IKEA’s transport and assembly service, so you can still gett that flat-pack table without the hassle.
