Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
Hawthorn East property context
An occupied Hawthorn East property may need preparation before flatpack cabinet assembly can begin. Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Hawthorn East 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
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
Use the supports and permitted positions supplied for the cabinet. Include additional shelves in the product list before the quote. A shelf that looks similar may have different dimensions or a different supported load, so compatibility needs to be established.
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.

FAQ
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Back panels and fixed shelves can establish the cabinet shape before doors are attached. Following the specified order helps keep the body square. Installing visible fittings too early can make later steps inaccessible or conceal a misassembled joint.

A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
