Send photographs and access details so the materials, preparation and next step can be discussed.
Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Common situations
A boxed freestanding storage cabinet is different from fitting a kitchen. Describe how the unit will be used and positioned. Plumbing connections, worktop cutting, fitted kitchen installation and bespoke cabinet manufacture are outside this small furniture assembly service.
Chipped edges, split fixing holes or a bent runner should be photographed with the part label visible. Keep the packaging and contact the supplier about replacements. A damaged structural panel should not be disguised with a cosmetic patch to finish assembly.
Tall or drawer-heavy storage may have restraint requirements even when marketed as freestanding. Review the instructions and intended wall before assembly. Suitable fixing, permission and safe access must be established; the finished unit should not conceal an unresolved stability issue.
Planning the work
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. 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.
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.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Catani property context
Catani sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For flatpack cabinet assembly, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Catani sits near Yannathan, Iona, Vervale and Cora Lynn. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Service overview
Door clearances are checked after the cabinet body is assembled and positioned. The supplied hinge adjustments have limits. If the frame is twisted or a panel has been fitted incorrectly, adjusting the hinge alone will not resolve the underlying problem.
Compact drawer units can include several runner and front adjustments. Provide the exact configuration and number of drawers. This assembly scope concerns new supplied components; a damaged existing drawer mechanism should be described as a separate repair request.
Describe where the cartons are stored and the final room. Working space is needed to protect finished panels while parts are organised. Moving other furniture, stairs and heavy items should be discussed beforehand rather than assumed to be included.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
