Office desk assembled solid and level with cable management sorted. Whether it's a simple writing desk or complex L-shaped workstation - built properly, positioned right, ready to work.
Your Office Desk Isn't Furniture, It's Your Workplace
You're going to spend 40+ hours a week at this desk. It needs to be rock solid, level, and functional - not wonky because you rushed the flatpack instructions after work. Get it built properly once, use it comfortably for years.
💡 Pro tip: Position your desk so windows are to your side, not behind you (creates screen glare) or in front (backlit on video calls). Side lighting is ideal.
Professional Assembly vs DIY
Here's why people call me after attempting desk assembly themselves:
| ✅ Built Properly | ❌ DIY Wobble |
|---|---|
| Level, stable, no rocking | Wobbles when you type |

| Squared up correctly | Slightly twisted frame |

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Full office setup?** Get desk assembly alongside drawer units, shelving, cable management, and monitor mounting - complete workspace in one visit. **IKEA delivery?** They'll drop it off and disappear. I can meet the delivery and build it the same day if you're at work. Just arrange access and I'll sort the rest. **Moving house and taking the desk?** If you've still got instructions, I can disassemble for moving and reassemble at the other end. Much easier than trying to move it whole.
Frequently Asked Questions about Home office desk assembly in Exmouth
What office desks do you assemble?
Any flatpack - IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Amazon Basics, whatever you've bought. Simple writing desks, corner desks, L-shaped workstations, desks with drawers and cable management - doesn't matter. If it comes in a box with instructions, I can build it.
How long does desk assembly actually take?
Simple desk - under an hour. IKEA Malm or similar. Desk with drawers and cable management - 1.5 hours. L-shaped or corner desks with storage - 2-2.5 hours. Complex ones with loads of parts take longer.
Can you position it and sort cable management at the same time?
Yes - that's half the point. I'll position the desk where you want it, drill cable grommets if needed, route your monitor and computer cables neatly, and get everything set up ready to work. Much easier to do during assembly than afterwards.
What if parts are missing or damaged?
Happens more than you'd think. I'll identify what's missing/broken and let you know immediately. You can usually get replacement parts from the manufacturer. If it's minor, I might be able to work around it or source the bits locally.
Will you take away the packaging?
I'll break down the boxes flat and bag up the polystyrene, but you'll need to dispose of it yourself (or I can for an extra charge). Most people put flatpack cardboard in recycling the next week - it's bulky but straightforward.
