Made.com issue flatpack nightmare Post Reply

[jg75]

Hi, I’ve just bought some furniture from made.com. They say they don’t provide an assembly service for this and the instructions are unintelligible. Has anyone got any genius ideas of a local person who might be able to help? This is beyond anything IKEA would do, we have assembled a lot of flatpack furniture in the past but this is another level, instructions are unbelievably complicated and don’t really make sense. I need it quite urgently and the company being unhelpful so would love a solution to this expensive problem. Thank you.

Hello,

I know Nick from CleanLetts who is a handyman that has done other types of jobs for me in the past. I am told he is a wizard at assembling flatpack stuff.

I don't have his direct number, but you can arrange an appointment with his office manager Jenny on 02087642669.

I recommend Task rabbit. It's a website to find a while range of services. You can often find someone to come on the same day.

I've used them for anything frompvong large furniture to assembly to plumbing.
