So, you've just received your brand new Plank+Beam furniture, and now you’re ready to start assembling it. Solid wood furniture assembly can be a breeze with a bit of organization and a touch of patience.
For the quickest answers to your Plank+Beam assembly questions, follow these top tips to get your furniture set up easily:
1. Read and follow all instructions
2. Organize all pieces and hardware
3. Have a friend help lift heavier pieces
5. Take your time to ensure accuracy
6. Wait to tighten hardware until the end
Let’s get into these quick tips so you can start putting your ready-to-assemble furniture together like a pro.
1. Read and follow all instructions
First things first, read through all the instructions and familiarize yourself with the steps before diving into the assembly process. Understanding the steps beforehand will save you from potential pitfalls and ensure a frustration-free experience.
If you happen to misplace your assembly instructions (hey, it happens to the best of us!), don't panic. Head over to the Plank+Beam help center where you can easily find assembly instructions for all of our products.
2. Organize all pieces and hardware
Organize, organize, organize. Before you start putting things together, take a moment to take inventory of all pieces and hardware to ensure you have everything at your fingertips.
If you’re looking for a quick hack to make sure everything has its place, a muffin pan works wonders to keep all those nuts, bolts, and screws neat and organized. And remember, all the tools you need are included, from a hex wrench to all the hardware.
If you’d prefer, you can also use a screwdriver or a drill – just keep any power tools on a low setting to prevent any accidental damage.
3. Have a friend help lift heavier pieces
While solo assembly is entirely possible, having a friend to help assemble the furniture can make the process much smoother, especially when dealing with larger or heavier furniture pieces like solid wood dressers or solid wood dining tables. Enlisting a friend not only makes the task easier, but it also transforms furniture assembly into a fun and social activity.
Grab some friends, turn on some music, and turn the assembly process into a fun social activity.
4. Build on a soft surface
To prevent any unwanted scratches on your beautiful hardwood floors or your new Plank+Beam dining table or Plank+Beam console table during the assembly process, consider building on a soft surface. A rug, some carpet, or a soft blanket can make a world of difference in keeping both your floors and your solid wood furniture in pristine condition.
5. Take your time to ensure accuracy
Putting together furniture is a project that requires careful attention and patience. It's important not to rush through the assembly, as to ensure accuracy and avoid mistakes.
To ensure your Plank+Beam dresser or wooden coffee table is perfectly put together, it's a good idea to find a time when you can be free of distractions so you can ensure every step is completed correctly. By taking your time and giving it your full attention, you'll end up with a sturdy and well-assembled piece of furniture that will last and serve as a staple in your space for years to come.
6. Wait to tighten hardware until the end
A crucial tip for the final stages of assembly is to resist the urge to tighten hardware fully until the end. By leaving some room for adjustments, you'll have the flexibility to fine-tune the alignment and ensure a perfect fit.
Only tighten screws and bolts on your Plank+Beam furniture securely once you've confirmed everything is in its proper place.
Assembling your Plank+Beam furniture should be a rewarding experience that, with the right approach, can be stress-free and even enjoyable. Follow these tips, take your time, and soon you'll be enjoying the beauty and solid wood craftsmanship of your assembled furniture.
