Office Furniture Assembly Best Practices for Businesses

A good office install is safe, fast and finished right the first time. Whether you manage a facility or are setting up a new office, these are the practices that separate a smooth install from a stressful one.
Before the install
- Check the inventory. Compare every carton against the order before installation day, so missing or damaged parts are found early.
- Confirm the floor plan. Mark where each piece goes, including power and data locations.
- Coordinate with the building. Book the elevator and loading dock, and send the building any insurance certificate it requires.
- Stage the furniture. Unpack in an open area away from finished work zones.
During the install
- Protect floors and walls, especially in finished spaces.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each system, in the right order.
- Tighten fasteners correctly. Over-tightening strips threads and cracks panels; under-tightening leaves furniture loose.
- Anchor tall and heavy units like bookcases, filing cabinets and storage towers to the wall to prevent tipping.
- Level everything so desks, panels and doors line up and work smoothly.
After the install
- Walk through a punch list with the installer to check every piece.
- Test moving parts, including drawers, locks, doors and height-adjustable desks.
- Clear packaging and debris so the space is ready for staff.
