Professional chest of drawers assembly - carcases built square, drawers aligned perfectly, and anti-tip safety brackets fitted as standard. Every drawer will glide smoothly from day one.
### Drawers That Actually Work
Chests of drawers should be simple, but flat-pack versions catch people out. The common problems are **drawers that stick, won't close flush, or a unit that leans** to one side.
> ⚠️ **Safety matters.** Chest of drawer tip-overs injure thousands of children annually. I fit anti-tip brackets as standard on all tall units.

### Why Drawers Go Wrong
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems | |--------------|-------------------| | Runners perfectly aligned | Drawer catches and sticks | | Carcase built square | Unit leans, looks wonky | | Anti-tip bracket fitted | Tipping hazard with children | | Soft-close adjusted | Slams shut or won't close |
Every drawer problem comes down to assembly technique. I check alignment at every stage.

It takes 5 minutes and could save a life. **Loading tips:** - Heavy items (jeans, jumpers) in bottom drawers - Light items (t-shirts, underwear) higher up - Distribute weight evenly - don't overload one side **Maintenance:** - Clean runners occasionally for smooth operation - Check wall fixing annually - Retighten loose screws if drawers start sticking
Frequently Asked Questions about Chest of drawers assembly in Teignmouth
Do chests of drawers need wall fixing?
Any chest of drawers should be wall-fixed if children have access. Tip-over accidents are a serious risk - a child pulling on a drawer can bring the whole unit down. I fit anti-tip brackets as standard on tall units.
Why do flat-pack drawers always stick?
Almost always an assembly problem. Either the runners aren't level, the carcase isn't square, or the drawer base isn't seated properly. I check alignment at every stage so every drawer glides smoothly.
Can you assemble a matching set?
Yes - bedside tables, chest of drawers, and wardrobes in matching sets are common. Building multiple identical pieces is more efficient since I'm already familiar with the assembly.
My drawers don't close flush - can you fix it?
Usually. Drawers that don't close properly are either misaligned or have the soft-close out of adjustment. Sometimes a fix is quick; sometimes it needs partial dismantling. Worth looking at.
