While it’s not ideal, many small start-ups use what are known as ‘flat-pack’ office furniture, most commonly identified with inexpensive brands. They’re so-named because they usually ship as flat boxes of planks with a handful of screws and dowels, and are often designed with inexpensive shipping and easy do-it-yourself assembly in mind.
These ‘flat pack’ brands can be inexpensive and often feature somewhat trendy designs, but are usually overlooked for office furniture on account of being generally cheaply made and often not very durable.
However, if cost forces you to choose ‘flat-pack’ office furniture, do you need to hire a furniture assembly service such as Choice? After all, odds are decent that someone in your household has assembled a ‘flat-pack’ shelf or table themselves. So why not assemble your whole office?
It can often take a full afternoon for an amateur to assemble a single desk. If your company has a dozen employees, that means the project could take a dozen afternoons’ worth of manpower. The same applies to the physical toll that manual assembly can take: Handling an Allen key for hours on-end can be brutally strenuous on the hands.
Furniture assembly services are accustomed to handling large-scale assembly projects, and have both the skills and the tools to do so in a timely fashion.
With many pieces of ‘flat-pack’ furniture, the money you save by assembling it yourself is often not worth the time you put into assembling it. This is particularly true in an office setting, where the time spent assembling the furniture claims not only the time of the individual assembling the furniture, but of the employees who are waiting for the office to be assembled as well.
A furniture assembly service will be able to get that furniture assembled as quick as humanly possible, letting your employees get down to business sooner, minimizing expensive down-time.
They say we can’t all be engineers. Often the instructions will be confusing or unclear, resulting in any number of mistakes, such as using the wrong size of screw and causing damage to the desk, to assembling a component backwards and having to disassemble it all, to simply missing a key screw or dowel, leaving the furniture unstable or unsound.
With a furniture assembly service, you have peace of mind that your furniture will be assembled correctly the first time, without causing any unnecessary damage to the unit.
