Examples of our vast collection of fully assembled, top quality goods are the
Brooklyn Chest of Drawers or the
Country Oak Sideboard.
Now while most students won’t notice the quality of their furniture, others (especially paying guests) are more discerning. Fortunately the furniture ranges from Core are actually very good quality and when assembled look as good as some equivalent ranges of fully assembled furniture. The Vermont ranges of bedroom, living and dining room furniture for example, are made using solid hardwood frames and hardwood facings to all front and side cabinet panels. Vermont furniture is completed in an antique stain followed by three coats of lacquer to produce an attractive, durable finish and when completed with the antique brass finish handles it is hard for the casual observer to distinguish these products from more expensive fully assembled ranges.
The top selling pine range is the Cotswold range. Again, when completed, it is almost impossible to tell that this is not a fully assembled furniture range, as it bears a remarkable similarity to a well known brand of pine furniture. This is because it is constructed using solid pine panels and even uses the correct dovetail joints for drawer construction. There really is little difference between assembly of this furniture at home or if it was done in a factory workshop.
The Lincoln Range is similar to the Cotswold but features metal handles rather than wood and, for a slightly darker alternative to Cotswold. Some prefer Mexican style rustic pine furniture and Core offers a choice of ranges including the Santa Fe range and Amalfi range.
The origins of self assembly furniture
If you would like to know more about the history and development of flat pack or self-assembly furniture, then see our page on
flat pack self assembly furniture or for more information on one of the most famouse companies to be associated with self assembly furniture, see
MFI Furniture.
Self assembly furniture is often a lot cheaper to buy because the wood is made from plywood or cheap mdf. Another reason flat pack furniture is cheap is because they can fit more of it onto delivery trucks. The downside to self assembly furniture is apparent. The quality and longevity of it is – in a nutshell – rubbish. All our furniture come ready assembled saving you time and is hassle free and of-course the quality is superb and the furniture should last a life time!
