Assembling a table

Table Assembly Service

A table should feel solid, level, and safe from the first day you use it. Whether it is a dining table, work desk, coffee table, or extendable model, correct assembly makes the difference between a sturdy centrepiece and a wobbly frustration. We assemble tables carefully, following the manufacturer instructions and using the right tools to protect the finish and ensure long term stability.

Clients call us for new purchases, flat pack deliveries, replacements after a move, and upgrades for home or workplace layouts. If you have a boxed table waiting in the corner or a half built frame that is not lining up, we can get it completed properly and ready to use.

What We Assemble

We assemble a wide range of table styles and brands, including compact designs and large statement pieces. Our service covers both simple builds and more complex systems with extension leaves, cable management, and multiple support rails.

• Dining tables including fixed top and extendable models
• Work desks for home offices and study areas
• Coffee and side tables with shelves, drawers, or storage
• Console tables for hallways and living rooms
• Outdoor tables when assembly is required indoors before placement

If your table is part of a bigger setup, we can coordinate assembly alongside other items through our furniture assembly services, so everything fits your room plan and is aligned to the same standard.

Our Assembly Process

1. Preparation and protection

We start by checking the packaging and parts list, then prepare a clean working area. Surfaces are protected to reduce the risk of scratches, and we keep small hardware organised so nothing is lost.

2. Accurate build and secure fastening

We assemble the frame and top in the correct order, ensuring joints seat properly and fasteners are tightened evenly. Many tables rely on precise alignment between rails, brackets, and legs. When pieces are slightly out of square, forcing them can strip fittings or damage laminate, so we make adjustments methodically.

3. Leveling and stability checks

After assembly, we test for wobble, confirm leg contact, and check the table is level on your floor. Where adjustable feet are included, we set them for stability. For extendable tables, we also verify that the mechanism moves smoothly and locks correctly.

4. Clean finish

We remove protective films where appropriate, wipe down fingerprints, and collect all packaging in one place. If you want the area left neat for immediate use, tell us in advance and we will plan time for tidy up.

Common Table Problems We Fix During Assembly

Not every job is a simple build from a perfect box. If something does not feel right, we can often resolve it on the spot, or advise the best next step.

• Wobbling or rocking due to uneven floors, misaligned legs, or uneven tightening
• Loose joints that need re seating and proper torque
• Stiff extension systems caused by incorrect rail position
• Stripped screws and fittings that need a safe alternative fastening approach
• Cosmetic marks found during unboxing, with guidance on warranty or touch up options

If the issue goes beyond assembly, we can help through furniture repair services such as furniture tightening and leveling, hinge adjustments on table drawers, and basic stability improvements.

For Homes, Offices, and Commercial Spaces

Table assembly is not only a residential need. Offices, studios, and retail spaces often require multiple tables assembled quickly and consistently, with minimal disruption. We can work around delivery schedules, access restrictions, and room layouts, and we take care to protect floors and nearby fixtures.

• Residential table assembly for kitchens, living rooms, and home offices
• Office furniture assembly for desks, meeting tables, and collaborative spaces
• Commercial furniture assembly for hospitality and retail environments

If you are setting up more than one item, ask about combining your table assembly with other pieces like shelving, chairs, or storage units to streamline the visit.

What to Prepare Before We Arrive

A little preparation helps the appointment go smoothly. If possible, place the boxed table in the room where it will be used, and ensure there is enough space to lay parts out safely. Keep the instructions and any included tools, even if you suspect they are not ideal. If the table is replacing an old one, clear the area so we can position the new table and check it is level.

1. Confirm the table will fit through doors and hallways
2. Check you have all boxes and hardware packs
3. Let us know if floors are uneven or if the table will sit on a rug
4. Tell us about time constraints, parking, or building access rules

Why Choose a Professional for Table Assembly

Tables look straightforward, but small mistakes can lead to cracked panels, stripped fittings, and ongoing instability. A professional approach protects the materials, keeps joints tight without over tightening, and ensures the final build is safe for everyday use. It also saves you time, avoids frustration, and helps you enjoy your new furniture immediately.

Whether you need a single dining table built correctly or several desks assembled for a new workspace, we are ready to help you get a stable, clean finished result that feels right from day one.
