How much space will I need?
Before committing to an assembly service, here are some things to consider:
Be mindful of radiators, shelves, door handles, handrails, wall fixtures, light fittings, window sills, ceiling height, access to the room, etc.
Our wardrobes are not fitted items; they are freestanding, and extra space is required for the assembly.
Majority of wardrobes are required to be assembled flat on the floor and lifted upright into position. Please ensure that the desired location of your wardrobe has extra space on the floor to assemble the wardrobe, with at least 20–30 cm of excess space around the dimensions of the wardrobe.
For example, if your wardrobe is 250 cm wide and 215 cm high, please provide us with a floor space of 270–280 cm by 235-245 cm on the floor to carry out the assembly before it can be lifted into its free-standing position. This allows the wardrobe to be built on the floor with sufficient space to work around it to fit any fixings and panels before lifting it onto its base.
It is also important to note that you require 10-20 cm of clearance from the top of your wardrobe to the ceiling unless the wardrobe can be built in sudo/upright, from the base upwards, which is not the case for all our wardrobes. Some of the ranges that can be built in upright position are the Saigon, Elegate, Vision and Lenart wardrobes.
We also recommend that you have at least 2cm excess space on left and right sides of the wardrobe to allow us to manouvre the furniture into place. E.g. if your chosen wardrobe width is 200cm then please ensure you have atleast 204cm space where you would like you wardrobe to be positoned.
If you require our assembly service and are unsure whether the furniture will fit your space, please contact us to confirm if this is possible with the wardrobe you are interested in buying before you place your order.
When an assembly date has been agreed upon with our delivery department but the assembly cannot go ahead for reasons where the customer is at fault (e.g., insufficient space, room not prepared, customer unavailable, parking space unavailable, etc.), we reserve the right to charge the customer the full assembly fee.
Will you dispose of the packaging?
No, but the team will ensure the packaging is neatly bundled and ready to be moved to your disposal area.
Will you take away old furniture?
No, we do not have provision for this, and we ask you to clear all the work areas beforehand to have enough space for the assembly to take place.
What if my floor is not level?
For any freestanding wardrobe to be assembled and function perfectly its important that your floor is level. Any uneven areas of your floor may affect the opening and closing of sliding doors properly. If your floor is uneven, it may cause your sliding doors to slide open or close by itself towards a slope. It is important to note that we only provide an assembly service of your furniture and not a complete fitted service to ensure it will sit level on your floor. On some occassions, depending on availability of time and materials and to the discretion of our fitters, we may attempt to pack materials under your wardrobe to assist the furniture to sit level on your floor where required but this is outside the scope of the assembly service and does not guarantee any results, short or long term. WardrobeDirect.com and the assembly service provided is not liable for the levelling of your floor.
For safety reasons, our driver/installation team may refuse delivery or installation if:
-
Access is unsafe or too difficult.
-
The distance from parking to the installation area is too far.
-
Stairs, corridors, doors, or pathways are too narrow or unsafe.
-
The ground is uneven or unsuitable.
-
The environment is unsafe or unhygienic.
-
The site is not properly prepared.
If installation is above the first floor and there is no suitable lift, we may refuse installation.
If a lift is available but the product does not fit inside, installation may also be refused.
If delivery or installation cannot proceed due to the above reasons, additional charges may apply for a return visit.
Are you able to drill and fix the wardrobe into our wall?
No, our assembly team is not insured to carry out any work on your property.
What if my floor is not level?
The assembly of the furniture may fail or may not functional correctly. You are advised to ensure the floor is level where you would like your furniture to be assembled prior to our assembly team arriving. Our assembly service is provided to assemble the furniture in the room of choice and not to offer a bespoke fitting service that includes floor levelling or retrospective customisations around your furniture, walls and floor. Depending on the assembly personnel on the day given they have the time and expertise, they could help you to resolve any issues around your space but this is not always possible.
Parking

What happens if I cancel assembly on the day?
Please note that once your assembly date and timeslot are agreed upon, our professional fitters are booked and paid for in advance.

What happens if I discover an issue with the furniture after assembly?
We advise you to fully check the assembly of your furniture to your satisfaction by opening and closing doors, drawers, and checking alignments or any damages or defects to your full satisfaction on completion of the assembly service. If you report any issues to the assembly team on the day while they are still present at site then they are liable to resolve these for you on the day or during a revisit depending on the circumstances. However if you report any issues with the assembly or product after the assembly team have left your site we may not be able to hold the assembly team and manufacturer liable for any claims you make and you may need to pay for any repalcement parts and revisits. You must report any issues within 48 hours to us by replying to your order confirmation email for us to investigate and offer a resolution according to our terms and conditions. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, in some cases we may offer a free revisit and free replacement parts to resolve any assembly issues as long as they are reported within 48 hours of the date of the assembly. If you report any issues after 48 hours of the assembly date then you may be liable for any replacement parts and call out charges.
If you have moved or reconstructed the furniture after our assembly service this will invalidate any claims made against the assembly service and product warranty.
