A PAX wardrobe, a BRIMNES or a flat-pack dressing unit from another brand: on the instruction leaflet, assembly looks simple. In a real bedroom, between the bed and the wall, with wall fixing and door adjustments, it is another story. Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux assembles and adjusts flat-pack wardrobes in Brussels and the Brabants, or takes over an assembly already started.
"The times stated on instruction leaflets, especially at IKEA, assume ideal conditions. Even for seasoned professionals like us, the stated time sometimes proves optimistic: unpacking, wall fixing and adjustments take their time. When you rely on those times at purchase, the reality on site is often quite different." — The Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux team
A large wardrobe in an already furnished room
The boxes have arrived and the spot is planned between a wall and the bed. You still need room to assemble the parts and stand them up. Ceiling height and door clearance count as much as the width of the unit.
What complicates a poorly prepared assembly
A missing part, a damaged panel or too narrow a space can stop the work. A badly positioned wardrobe can also block a door or cover a socket. Door-front adjustments do not compensate for every positioning defect.
Useful information before assembly
Send the reference, the instruction leaflet and the wardrobe's dimensions. Photograph its position, the skirting boards and the access to the room. Say whether the boxes are complete and whether an old unit must be taken apart.
Preparation takes into account the leaflet's steps, the space needed and the planned fixings. Assembly is completed by the agreed adjustments of doors, drawers and fittings. If the manufacturer requires wall fixing, the nature of the wall must be assessed.
Important
Tall wardrobes and chests of drawers must be fixed to the wall so they cannot tip over. The fixing depends on the wall: brick, concrete, plaster or a hollow partition are not handled the same way.
New assembly versus reassembly
New panels and a unit taken apart several times do not present the same conditions. The state of the joints, the availability of parts and the adjustments all influence the work. Describe your request to get an estimate. If a paid visit is considered, its terms are agreed in advance.
