Self Assembly Furniture

It is fair to say most Right Price Furniture customers understand that to get exactly the furniture they want at the sort of low prices we charge usually takes a little time.  But if, for example, your student son or daughter needs new furniture for their flat or your bed and breakfast business has got bookings that are happening next week, then you need furniture today – like NOW!   

Well, in the words of the immortal Corporal Jones, “don’t panic,” because in addition to our fully assembled ranges we also sell these self-assembly ranges from Core Products Ltd which can be delivered within 3 to 5 days.  Moving fully-assembled furniture around the country takes time and is expensive because it is a bulky, easily damaged product.  But sending tightly packed boxes of mainly flat components is much easier – which is why self assembly furniture can be supplied by express delivery within days rather than weeks.

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.
