Professional coffee table assembly - level surfaces, aligned drawers, and stable legs. Glass tops handled with care. Quick enough to combine with other assembly jobs.
Level & Wobble-Free
Coffee tables sit in the middle of your living room and get used constantly. A wobbly table drives you mad, and unaligned drawers look shoddy.
💡 Smart booking tip: At 30-45 minutes, coffee table assembly pairs perfectly with TV stand, side tables, or bookcase assembly.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's how to get it level:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Phillips screwdriver
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
📐 Getting it level
- Assemble frame and attach legs loosely
- Place in final position
- Check with spirit level both directions
- Adjust leg heights or add furniture pads
- Tighten everything once level
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Tightening before checking level
- Over-tightening cam locks (strips them)
- Not testing drawer alignment
- Rushing glass top installation
💡 Pro trick: Check the table diagonally too, not just lengthways and sideways. Tables can be level two ways but tilted corner to corner. Living room floors in older properties are rarely flat.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know

Positioning tips:

- Leave walking space around all sides

Floor protection:

- Especially important on wood floors
- I can add these if not included
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you assemble coffee tables with glass tops?
Yes - glass-topped tables need careful handling. The glass is usually last piece fitted, seated on rubber pads. I handle these carefully to avoid chips or cracks.
My coffee table wobbles - can you fix it?
Usually. Wobbling is from unlevel floor, uneven legs, or loose fixings. Adjustable feet solve most problems; if there aren't any, I can add furniture pads.
Is this worth booking on its own?
At 30-45 minutes it's quick. Combine with TV stand, side tables, or bookcase to maximise your first hour.
Can you assemble nest of tables?
Yes - nesting tables are usually three in one set. Quick to assemble individually, then adjusted to nest properly at the end.
