The first risk is losing the manufacturer's warranty. IKEA, for example, requires assembly according to instructions for the warranty to be valid. If the furniture breaks due to incorrect assembly, it's not covered. We have seen wardrobes collapse a month after assembly because someone screwed crookedly or didn't use all the intended screws.

For complete IKEA, Leroy Merlin, or carpenter-made kitchens, the typical process involves several steps. A preliminary visit to measure and check the wall. Walls are never perfectly straight, and sometimes parts need to be adjusted to reality. Module assembly in the workshop when possible, to speed up the process. On-site installation with anchoring and levelling. Appliance connection, coordinated with the electrician and plumber if needed. Fine adjustment of doors and drawers. And fitting of plinths and decorative trims. IKEA is by far the most in-demand. Their furniture is reasonably well-designed, and the instructions are clear (though text-free, using universal drawings). Components fit precisely when assembled correctly. The most common error is over-tightening the plastic cam screws, which break and require replacement. The correct technique is to tighten by hand until it stops and then give only half a turn more with a screwdriver, not an electric one. When the model requires it, secure wall anchoring with appropriate fixings for the material.

Amazon is a separate case because quality varies radically depending on the seller and brand. There are excellent pieces of furniture and others that are unusable and break during assembly. If you have doubts about the brand, send us a photo of the package before booking an appointment, and we'll tell you if it's assembleable or if it's better to return it. A standard IKEA Billy bookcase takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with interior drawers, 90 minutes to 2 hours. A double bed with a slatted base, 60-90 minutes. An extendable dining table with chairs, 45-90 minutes depending on the model. A simple desk, 30-45 minutes. The total timeframe is 2-4 days depending on the kitchen size. We recommend planning in advance because kitchens have long delivery times (4-8 weeks for IKEA, up to 12 for some stores), and it's advisable to have the handyman booked before the materials arrive.
