Flat Pack MatesFlat pack furniture assembly in North Finchley

Can you assemble a sit-stand desk and office chair in North Finchley?
Yes. Send the desk frame and top models, the chair model and any separate fitting kits. Tell us where the desk is going and what cable or bracket accessories you want included. We can check the details for a quote and discuss any clearance needed for the frame to move.
How much space do I need for a filing cabinet beside the desk?
Measure the cabinet and the depth of the largest drawer when extended. Allow room to stand in front and for the desk chair to turn. If the cabinet sits near a door or radiator, show those in the room photo and check the space with the door open.
Quote for the actual workstation build
The models, number of pieces and included fittings determine the quote. List any return, under-desk drawer pack or bracket separately. Include the carton location and access restrictions, and tell us if an older desk needs dismantling. We can confirm what is included so you can make space for the agreed work before the appointment.
See assembly prices and See office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Start at the desk position
Sketch the furniture and where you expect the screens to sit. Mark the wall socket, radiator and any door that opens towards the chair. If the desk has a return, confirm which side you mean from the seated position. A photograph of the corner helps us read the sketch correctly.
For a height-adjustable desk, send the full frame and top models and the position of any cable tray or modesty panel. Leave slack for the manufacturer’s range of motion once you connect your equipment. Point out sockets that could become hard to reach and anything that might catch beneath the moving desk.
Some desktop risers and monitor brackets come with clamps that need space under the back edge. Show us any brace or cable tray underneath and include the accessory instructions if you are asking us to fit it. Mention if a clamp needs to line up with a particular cable opening.
Set the furniture up in working order
Confirm the layout before tightening the frame
We check the drawer and return positions against the agreed plan. Tell us where the screen will sit and where cables need to exit. If an accessory clashes with a brace or the desk height changes the clearance, we discuss it before fitting those parts.
Try the space from the seated position
Sit in the chair, reach for the drawers and check that the route out of the room is clear. Check movement on an adjustable desk before putting equipment back. Keep the model instructions together so you can check future settings and find the right fittings if the room changes.
| Area | Clearance to check |
|---|---|
| Behind desk | Room for cable bends and clamps |
| Under desk | Legroom and drawer access |
| Behind chair | Turning space and exit route |
Plan storage around everyday movement
Measure how far the largest filing drawer opens and allow room to stand in front of it. Try the route from the desk chair to the room door on your plan. A cabinet can fit beside the desk and still catch on an armrest or block the seat as it turns.
Filing cabinets may have a different assembly and loading sequence from a simple drawer chest. Identify the model and whether it has a locking system or castors. Keep keys and small components with the carton. Let us know if the manufacturer requires wall fixing or if you need permission from a landlord.
For a shared workspace, label the units by desk or seat number. Ask each user where they need to reach the drawers before handing over the final plan. If one room must stay usable during the visit, say which furniture it needs and when it can be cleared.
Send arrival and unloading details for the address
Barnet Council lists North Finchley Library in N12. Give us your complete postcode and any flat or office number. Look up your road separately and check the signs at the bay. If unloading is time-limited, tell us where legal parking will be available for the rest of the visit.
If the cartons are behind reception, tell us who can release them. For a flat above shops or an office with separate entrances, provide the correct door and any access hours. Measure the largest tabletop carton if the route includes an angled landing or a small lift.
Clear enough floor space to put the desk together before it is moved into its final position. Disconnect and set aside your equipment ahead of the visit. If a meeting limits when the room can be used, include those times when asking what appointment would suit.

Before you book in North Finchley
How do I tell you which side the desk return should go on?
Describe the side from where you sit, and send a simple sketch. Include the door and nearest socket so we can match the sketch to the room.
Can you fit a cable tray that came from another retailer?
Send both model numbers and the mounting instructions. We can discuss compatibility and whether the underside of the desktop leaves enough room.
Should I put the filing cabinet under the desk?
Check its height, including castors, and compare it with the clearance under the desktop. Leave enough space for legs and for the largest drawer to open.
Can I use my computer while you assemble the new furniture?
If you have a separate working area, tell us which room must stay usable and when. Leave the furniture area and the route to it clear.
What should I do with spare bolts and castors after assembly?
Keep any unused fittings supplied with the product in a labelled bag alongside its manual. They may belong to alternative layouts or accessory positions.
