Dining Furniture Assembly

What furniture fits this category

A dining table may come as a top, legs or trestles, and a bag of bolts. Some tables include a leaf or an extension mechanism that is part of the manufactured product. Chairs often arrive two or four to a box, with legs, seats, and stretchers packed separately. Rust Desk Furniture assembles those pieces as dining furniture.

Benches, counter-height tables, and ready-to-assemble sideboards or buffets that stand on the floor belong here when they are household furniture rather than built-in cabinetry. The work takes place at the customer’s location in New York State.

Examples of relevant furniture

• Dining tables, including those with a supplied leaf or extension
• Dining chairs and counter stools that assemble with manufacturer hardware
• Dining benches and picnic-style indoor benches sold as furniture
• Counter-height dining sets
• Freestanding sideboards, buffets, and china cabinets that are boxed furniture

Typical project information

List the table and the number of chairs as separate items even when they were purchased as a set. Chair count is easy to understate. If a bench replaces two chairs, say so. Product names help when several similar tables exist in a manufacturer’s line.

Mention whether the table uses a leaf, because that hardware is easy to leave in the carton. If the room is small, a note about the intended placement helps the project description.

Preparation

Tables are usually assembled upside down and then turned. That needs clear floor space and a path that will not scrape the top. Keep chair hardware in labeled bags so four identical chairs do not borrow bolts from each other. Instructions for extension slides should stay with the table.

Hourly assembly for dining furniture

Assembly is provided by working time. A one-hour visit can suit a straightforward single table or a small number of simple chairs. A table with several chairs, an extension leaf, or a sideboard in the same project may need additional time. Additional time should be discussed before work continues. You do not need to estimate the exact assembly time on the form.

Project notes

This category is for ready-to-assemble dining tables, chairs, benches, and freestanding sideboards. Glass tops that arrived with the furniture can be mentioned in the request so they can be reviewed with the job.

Unusual commercial pieces can still be described in a request so they can be reviewed.
