Flat packs

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Is there any flat pack guru's out there?? Just got new wardrobe and bed and gotta build them, bloody things do my box in. Don't you find they never last. It's like they have self district button to fall apart after a few years, same as most things as soon as they run out of the guarenteed date they break.

Put extra screws in, strengthens them, don't forget to recess the hole tho, so the screw sits flush

They can be a Mensa test if they have instructions

If I screw it it will break the out side as if has a layer of shined plastic on it as is one of those modern style ones not just mdf all over and bed is black leather, I would crack it putting screws in it and it won't have that fresh shiney modern look

flat pack furniture is easy peasy, hardest part is persuading the guy to fekk off and let you get on with building it up without their advice on how to do it!

Best tip, make absolutely sure you know which part is which and which way it is in the diagrams.

And have decent tools, as per the instructions.

They are aimed at novice DIYers, was going to say women, but then remembered where I was lol
