Not Just IKEA!
We’ve all been there - a stack of boxes in the hallway, a bag of fixings and an instruction sheet that makes no sense. Whether you’ve ordered from IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, John Lewis or any other furniture supplier, Maple Tree Carpentry can take the stress out of flatpack assembly. We build and fit all kinds of flatpack furniture across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey, quickly, neatly and without any leftover bolts.
What We Assemble
Our flatpack assembly service covers furniture for every room in the house:
- Bedroom furniture - wardrobes, chest of drawers, bedframes, bedside tables and dressing tables
- Living room - TV units, bookcases, display cabinets and shelving systems
- Home office - desks, filing cabinets, storage units and monitor stands
- Kitchen and dining - tables, chairs, kitchen islands and pantry units
- Children’s rooms - bunk beds, cabin beds, toy storage and nursery furniture
- Bathroom - vanity units, storage cabinets and shelving
We regularly assemble furniture from IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Amazon, Habitat, MADE and many others. If it comes in a flat box, we can put it together.
More Than Just Assembly
What sets a professional apart from a DIY attempt is the finishing. As a qualified carpenter with over 12 years of experience, Lee doesn’t just follow the instructions - he makes sure everything is square, level, properly secured and safe to use.
We can also customise flatpack furniture to better fit your home. This is where our carpentry skills really come into their own:
- Trimming units to fit into alcoves, under sloping ceilings or against uneven walls
- Combining pieces from different sets to create a custom built-in look
- Wall mounting wardrobes, cabinets and shelving for safety and a cleaner appearance
- Adding finishing touches like beading, fillers or paint to blend furniture with your existing decor
If you’ve got an awkward space that standard furniture doesn’t quite fit, we can often adapt off-the-shelf pieces to work perfectly - saving you the cost of fully bespoke joinery.
Why Use a Professional
A surprising number of our flatpack assembly jobs come from customers who started the build themselves and ran into difficulty. Damaged panels, cross-threaded fixings and wonky doors are all common when furniture isn’t assembled with the right tools and know-how. Getting it done properly from the start saves time, frustration and often money too.
We’re also happy to handle delivery-day assembly - if you know when your furniture is arriving, book us in for the same day and we’ll have everything built and in place before the evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flatpack assembly cost?
The cost depends on the type and number of items. A simple bedside table will cost less than a large wardrobe with sliding doors. We offer competitive rates and are happy to provide a quick quote - just let us know what you need assembled and we’ll give you a price. We cover Wokingham and the whole of Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.
How long does it take to assemble flatpack furniture?
It varies by item. A standard chest of drawers typically takes around an hour, while a large wardrobe or cabin bed might take two to three hours. If you’ve got multiple items, we can usually get through a full room’s worth of furniture in a day. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when you get in touch.
Can you assemble furniture on the day it’s delivered?
Yes. If you know your delivery date, book us in for the same day and we’ll have everything built and in position by the evening. This is one of our most popular requests from customers across Berkshire - it means you can enjoy your new furniture straight away without boxes cluttering up your home.
What if the furniture is damaged or has missing parts?
As experienced assemblers, we can usually spot manufacturing defects or missing parts early in the build. If we find an issue, we’ll let you know straight away so you can arrange a replacement with the supplier. In some cases, we can source compatible fixings or hardware to keep the build on track.
