Melbourne handyman & property maintenance
Furniture assembly · South Melbourne
For desk assembly at your South Melbourne property, start with the product and the practical requirements. The top, frame and fasteners must be compatible; a close visual match does not establish suitable hole positions or support. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving supplied desk tops, frames and mechanical furniture fittings and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Desk Assembly
supplied desk tops, frames and mechanical furniture fittings
Service overview
An uneven floor can make a correctly assembled desk feel unstable. Product-adjustable feet can be checked where supplied, along with the clearances around the frame. Furniture levelling does not include altering the floor or the surrounding building structure.
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.
Drawers, modesty panels and return sections add work beyond attaching legs to a top. Include the full product configuration. Supplied mechanical fittings can be considered together, while unrelated storage units should be listed as additional items in the quote request.
The agreed service covers manufacturer-directed assembly of supported desk frames, tops and supplied furniture hardware. Exclusions: Electrical installation, cable relocation, custom joinery, motor/controller repair.
South Melbourne property context
An occupied South Melbourne property may need preparation before desk assembly can begin. Send the desk model, frame and top specifications, carton labels and a wide view of the workspace. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful South Melbourne enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
Send the desk model, frame and top specifications, carton labels and a wide view of the workspace. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
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.
Follow the desk loading instructions and keep the frame clear of obstacles. Electrical faults or powered mechanism problems need the appropriate specialist. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
A separately purchased desktop may not share the fixing pattern or supported dimensions of the base. Provide both product specifications. Do not assume that drilling extra holes or shortening the top is included in a straightforward furniture assembly quote.
Show the mounting method for a keyboard tray, shelf or cable tray. Accessories need to fit the particular desk and its instructions. Drilling new holes, supporting heavy equipment or adding unrelated brackets requires its own suitability review before inclusion.

FAQ
Follow the supplied mechanical assembly sequence, fit compatible furniture accessories and check the agreed positioning and levelling. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Electrical installation, cable relocation, custom joinery, motor/controller repair. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
