The top, frame and fasteners must be compatible; a close visual match does not establish suitable hole positions or support. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.

Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Common situations
Send photographs of the existing joints, loose parts and instructions if the desk is partly built. A cross-threaded bolt or damaged insert can prevent correct tightening. Forcing the joint may make replacement parts necessary instead of allowing a simple adjustment.
Separate similar bolts using the instruction labels rather than appearance alone. A fastener that is too long can damage a desktop. Keep spare parts and packing information until the assembly is checked and any supplier shortage has been resolved.
Explain whether the desk uses a manual adjustment or a powered system. The advertised service covers suitable mechanical furniture assembly. Wiring changes, power-point work and motor or controller repairs are not included simply because they are part of the same workstation.
