Professional dining chair assembly - individual chairs or complete sets. All chairs built to identical standard, legs tightened properly, floor protectors fitted. No wobblers.
Consistent Quality Across Your Set
Flat-pack dining chairs should be simple, but somehow people end up with wobbly chairs or a set where each one feels different. The issue is usually inconsistent tightening or rushing.
💡 The secret to a good set? Every chair gets the same attention. It's easy to get sloppy by chair number four - I don't.

|---|---|
| All chairs feel identical | Varying stability |

🔧 DIY Tips
Building them yourself? Here's how to stay consistent:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Rubber mallet
- Felt pads (if not included)
📐 Getting consistency
- Build first chair carefully, note the sequence
- Line up remaining chairs as production line
- Do same step on all chairs before moving on
- Tighten all chairs the same amount
- Test each one before moving to next step
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Different tightening on each chair
- Rushing later chairs
- Forgetting floor protectors
- Not testing each chair
💡 Pro trick: When you've built one chair, set it aside as your reference. Every subsequent chair should match it exactly - same tightness, same feel. If one feels different, something's wrong.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a set of 6 chairs take?
About 60-90 minutes for six chairs. The first one takes longest - understanding the assembly. After that, each chair goes faster.
Is it worth booking just for chairs?
At 15-20 minutes per chair, a small set is quick. Combine with dining table assembly for best value - you're paying for the first hour anyway.
My dining chairs wobble - can you fix them?
Usually - wobble is almost always loose fixings or uneven legs. A quick tightening session can save chairs you'd otherwise replace.
Can you fit floor protector pads?
Yes - I fit felt pads or plastic glides as standard if included. Protects your floor from scratches.
