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.

🔧 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

  1. Build first chair carefully, note the sequence
  2. Line up remaining chairs as production line
  3. Do same step on all chairs before moving on
  4. Tighten all chairs the same amount
  5. 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.

Good to Know

🪑 Combine with table - Assembling table and chairs together is more efficient. One visit, complete dining set ready to use.

Chair maintenance:

  • Check bolt tightness every few months
  • Kids' chairs loosen faster
  • Keep hex key from kit handy

Floor protectors:

  • Felt pads: best for hard floors, replace yearly
  • Plastic glides: more durable
  • Rubber caps: good all-rounders

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.
