You've bought furniture for your **student let**. It's all arrived in boxes. Twenty-five flatpacks stacked in the hallway. Students move in next week. **Deep breath.**

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Timing tip:** Book assembly for August. September is mental for student moves in Exeter - furniture delivery slots are rammed, assembly services are booked out. Get ahead of the rush. **Budget furniture reality:** IKEA, Argos, and Amazon basics furniture is designed for light domestic use. Five students opening/closing stuff daily is tougher. Assemble it really well initially, and expect to tighten things up or replace some items after year one. **Wall fixing:** Student lets legally require furniture over certain heights to be wall-mounted or strapped. Wardrobes especially. I'll do this properly if you want - it's important for safety. **Multiple properties?** If you've got several student houses to furnish, book them all together. I can schedule them efficiently through summer and you'll get better value than individual callouts. **Exeter University area?** I know the St James, Pennsylvania, and city center student areas well. Parking's a nightmare but I work around it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Student furniture assembly in Exmouth
How many rooms can you do in one visit?
Usually 3-5 bedrooms in a day, depending on what's going in each room. Standard student setup (bed, desk, chair, wardrobe) per room takes about an hour each. More if there's loads of extra furniture.
Do you assemble the cheap flatpack stuff or proper furniture?
Both. I know student lets usually mean budget furniture - Argos, IKEA, Amazon basics. It all goes together the same way. The cheaper stuff just needs a bit more care so it doesn't fall apart in year two.
What if furniture arrives damaged or with missing parts?
I check everything before starting. If bits are missing or damaged, I'll tell you straight away so you can sort returns/replacements before I start. No point half-assembling stuff that's going back.
Can you do this during the summer when students are out?
That's exactly when most landlords book me - July/August before the new students arrive in September. Gets the house ready with no tenants in the way. Much easier.
Do you take away all the packaging?
Yes - bags, boxes, polystyrene, cable ties, the lot. All removed and disposed of properly. Your property's left clean and ready, not knee-deep in cardboard.
