Flat packed furniture is still the cheapest and most commonly sold solution in the UK today. The savings in shipping costs makes them extremely competitive to produce and the willingness of the consumer to construct the item themselves saves valuable pounds as well. Flat pack furniture generally received bad press in the 80′s and 90′s when companies such as MFI brought it to market in huge volumes. In recent years, developments in designs have gone a long way to improve the end quality of the product and its reputation. If possible it is always better to upgrade to a ‘Knock Down’ item of furniture, as it is much more likely to serve you for longer and survive some movement.

Pre-assembled furniture, particularly large items, is less and less common these days. One of the problems with large items of pre-assembled furniture is the size which can make it difficult to move the items through corridors and around corners. Pre-assembled furniture is also more expensive to purchase, due mainly to two reasons, the shipping costs and the manpower required to put the items together.

To have your furniture assembled by a professional installer will have many benefits. A professional assembler has probably put together many items of similar furniture and will be able to overcome any problems. The furniture will be assembled in the correct place, no corners, corridors or stairs to move a large item around.
