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.
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.
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.
