Furniture assembly · Ivanhoe
For flatpack cabinet assembly at your Ivanhoe property, start with the product and the practical requirements. Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Ivanhoe property context
Ivanhoe 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. A useful Ivanhoe 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.
How it works
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint.
Confirm the Ivanhoe address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete.
Planning the work
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.
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.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
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.
