A step-by-step guide to building simple furniture

Begin with a clear plan

Choose a straightforward design and write down the finished dimensions. Confirm that the piece will fit through doorways and work in its intended location.

Measure twice

Create a cut list and label every component. Small measuring errors can multiply as the piece comes together.

Assemble on a flat surface

Check each joint before tightening all fasteners. Measure diagonally across frames to confirm they are square.

Finish for daily use

Smooth sharp edges, remove dust, and apply a finish appropriate for the material and room.

If you would rather skip the tools and instructions, WellFix can assemble or build the piece for you.
