I am sorry I haven't written in quite some time, but it seemed like nobody was listening. However, recently a few cats said they enjoyed my info and would appreciate if I continued with the blog. If anybody read my, I think first post it explains how I started this business from a screwdriver and a dream. Right now my little ole company is #1 on Yahoo & Google if you search "nyc furniture assembly". I thank my lucky strs every night that I have a great master assembler, his name is Lawrence. Rain nor shine he will build your whatever for you. Well, here is a little piece on Knock Down furniture. Take a minute and tell me what you think of my words of wisdom.

Unfinished KD (knock down) furniture or RTA (ready to assemble) furniture offers several advantages:
1. It allows the purchaser to give the piece a preferred finish, perhaps to match other furnishings
2. It allows the buyer to purchase a piece of furniture anywhere from one-third to one-half off the cost of a finished piece in the same wood species. That’s the good part.
The bad part is, KD and RTA furniture isn’t as easy as some make it sound. If you have ever bought such furniture from IKEA or similar stores you know exactly what I’m talking about. You see this beautiful piece of furniture either in the store, catalog, or online and imagine how beautiful it will look in your home. I believe many of us just entirely skip the thought of assembling the furniture. Once home you open the box only to see several dozen pieces of what appears to be wood with holes. A bag of screws and some other widgets. And finally the directions. Thank God for the directions. This mess won’t be that hard to get together with the directions, right? Wrong! Many companies have decided that it’s best to print the directions without any written instructions and use only illustrations as some form of universal language. It is definitely a language in its own right, only one that makes learning Chinese look like learning the alphabet. The directions are similar to your 3-year-old child’s fridge picture, and those signs Psychiatrists use to determine your sanity.
