Ilva
Wardrobes
Probably
the
most complex a varied flat pack item:
Sliding Door Wardrobes:
Similar
to the popular Rauch range sold by many suppliers usually take 2-3
hours
dependant on the space available, and the number of doors.
Some
sliding
doors need to be assembled from smaller panels, so add a further hour
for this.
Hinged
Wardrobes:
Usually about 1hr for a 1-2 door robe then add another 30 minutes per
door or 10 minutes per drawer. However most 3-4 door robes will take
about 2 hours.
Extras:
10 Mins
each
Various
internal bits for wardrobes are available such as drawers, tie racks
and so on. Each item usually takes about 10 minutes
to assemble and install, though some such as shoe racks take a while.
Beds
Virtually
all
beds can be assembled in 30-45 minutes with the following exceptions:
Cabin
Beds - Ilva supply a beautiful cabin bed which takes an
experienced assembler 2-3 Hours to build.
Settee Beds - usually a
bit longer, so about one hour.
Hinged Storage Beds - Powerful sprung hinges make lifting the bed with
the mattress on top easy. When assembling this mechanism two people are
required, and takes about one hour, this is charged as 2 man-hours so
if this is the only item the cost would be £70 not £60 to cover the
additional call out.
Chest of Drawers &
Dressers
The
carcass
usually takes about 30 minnutes, then add 10 minutes per drawer (size
doesn't count!) so:
Chest
of 3
drawers ~60 mins
Chest
of 6
drawers ~90 mins
Chest
of 9
drawers ~120 mins
Desks
A
simple desk
with legs is about 30 minutes work.
Virtaully
all
combination desks can be done in one hour, but consider its component
parts, if it has say 2 filing cabinet parts to it each will take about
one hour to assemble plus the rest of the desk so this might well be a
2-3 hour job.
Dining Tables & Chairs
A
dining table
will usually take 15-30 minutes, plus 15 minuntes for each chair. Some
simple stylish tables from Habitat can take over an hour, simply due to
the weight of them and the type of fittings required.
Sofas & Settes
These
usually take 30-60 minutes, but upholstered items can be tricky to deal
with. Also Nextra sell sofas which are like a complex jigsaw to put
together they arrive in a pallet on your drive and off goes the truck
driver. When assembled they look great, and usually take 3-4 hours to
assemble.
Sideboards
These usually take 2-3 hours to build.
Bookcases, Display Cabinets
etc
Usually about 30 minutes (typical dimensions 1 m wide by
2 m tall), if
it is 2m wide double it, if you have bought doors, a drawer or lighting
add another 10 minutes for each.
