Below are some helpful tips to get you a bit more prepared and assist with streamlining the process of assembling your flat pack cabinets.

YOU NEED SPACE

There are often a lot of different components required when assembling your flat pack cabinets so ensure you have enough space, both for laying out all the items and for the assembly of the cabinet. If assembling a flat pack kitchen, try to assemble the cabinets in a separate room and move the cabinets into the kitchen once assembled. You don’t want your assembled cabinets taking up space in your work area.

LAY IT ALL OUT

You will want to lay out everything so that you can see all the components easily, this will make it easier for you to find the pieces you need and to see what each piece looks like. This goes for your tools as well, have them laid out for easy locating and access.

TAKE YOUR TIME

Whether it’s reading the instructions, watching how to videos or the actual assembly of the flat pack cabinets, take your time. Do not rush this, especially if you are only a beginner, because if you rush the assembly process or skip instructions the chances are, you will make mistakes along the way and lead to issues either during the assembly or further down the track.

ASSEMBLE ONE TYPE OF CABINET AT A TIME

There are a lot of different variations of cabinets, it can help if you start by assembling one type of cabinet at a time. This will help keep the mind clear on what steps you are following, rather than going back and forth between different types of cabinets which require different steps to be followed and getting mixed up with what steps you are doing.
