Assembling dressers and bedside tables

Assembling Dressers and Bedside Tables

Dressers and bedside tables look simple on the box, but anyone who has built one knows how quickly it can become time consuming. Panels that look identical, tiny hardware, and drawers that must glide smoothly all require careful alignment. Our team assembles dressers, nightstands, and other storage pieces with the right tools and a methodical approach, so your furniture is sturdy, level, and ready to use.

Whether your item is brand new, flat pack, or ready to assemble, we handle the build from start to finish. If you have multiple pieces for a bedroom, we can plan the layout, assemble in the correct order, and help avoid scuffs on walls and flooring.

What We Assemble and What You Can Expect

Common items we assemble

We build most home storage furniture, including single nightstands and wide drawer chests. If you are furnishing a full room, we can coordinate the work as part of residential furniture assembly so everything is installed efficiently.

• Bedside tables with doors, drawers, or open shelves
• Dressers and chest of drawers, including tall or wide units
• Drawer units for wardrobes or under bed storage
• Changing tables and nursery drawer units
• Storage cabinets and small shelving combinations

Our assembly process

1. Preparation We check the parts list, sort hardware, and confirm the ideal location for assembly.
2. Careful build We follow the manufacturer instructions, protect surfaces, and keep components square during tightening.
3. Drawer and door setup We fit runners, align drawer fronts, and adjust doors for even gaps.
4. Final stability check We level the unit, recheck fasteners, and make sure drawers open smoothly.

We bring the tools needed for accurate work, including driver bits, hand tools, and leveling equipment. You get a finished piece that feels solid, not wobbly.

Why Professional Assembly Makes a Difference

Most issues with dressers and nightstands happen during assembly. Over tightened screws can strip chipboard, misaligned runners can make drawers stick, and an uneven base can cause rocking or gradual loosening. Choosing professional furniture assembly helps prevent these problems and protects the furniture you paid for.

• Accurate alignment Drawer slides and back panels are installed straight to keep the unit square.
• Correct tightening Fasteners are secured firmly without damaging predrilled holes or cam locks.
• Cleaner finish We avoid scratches, chipped edges, and visible gaps by assembling in a controlled way.
• Safer setup Heavy units are positioned carefully to reduce risk of tip hazards and wall marks.

If you have several pieces arriving at once, we can also coordinate with your schedule so the room becomes usable sooner, without half built boxes taking over your home.

Fixing Problems During or After Assembly

Not every project starts with unopened packaging. If you began building and got stuck, or if a previous assembly left the unit unstable, we can step in and correct it. This may include re squaring the cabinet, re mounting drawer slides, or replacing missing hardware where possible.

Typical dresser and bedside table issues we can resolve

• Drawers that scrape, jam, or sit unevenly
• Loose handles and knobs, including handle replacement
• Runner replacement when drawers do not glide correctly
• Door alignment services for nightstands with hinged doors
• Furniture tightening and leveling to eliminate wobble
• Drawer repair services for sagging bases or misaligned fronts

When the structure has been stressed, we can recommend reinforcement options and help you decide whether a repair is worthwhile. If you are moving and need a piece taken down and rebuilt, ask about furniture disassembly and reassembly to keep items intact during transport.

Getting Ready for Your Appointment

A little preparation helps the job go quickly. If possible, clear a space near the final location and keep pets and children away from the work area. If the furniture will sit on carpet or an uneven floor, tell us in advance so we can plan proper leveling.

• Keep the boxes and instructions available, even if opened
• Let us know if there are stairs, tight hallways, or limited parking
• Share photos of the room and the product if you want time estimates
• Point out skirting boards, outlets, or radiators that affect placement

After assembly, we will confirm that drawers and doors operate smoothly and that the unit sits stable where it belongs.

When you want your dresser or bedside table built correctly the first time, we are ready to help and leave you with furniture that looks neat, functions well, and feels secure every day.
