What table assembly covers
Table assembly ranges from a 15-minute legs-on job to a half-day build with a marble top and an extending mechanism. The scope of the work depends entirely on what you've bought. Here's what the work covers.
Table assembly
The core build covers dining tables (timber, glass-top, marble-top, four-leg, pedestal-base, trestle), coffee tables, side and end tables, console tables, bedside tables, and the smaller hall and entryway pieces. Most table failures show up as wobble, and wobble has one of two causes: legs torqued unevenly during the build, or the floor under the table isn't flat. We build the underframe square, tighten the legs to spec in the right order so the load distributes evenly, and check the surface against a level before fitting the top. If the room's floor isn't flat (a common reality in older Auckland houses), we shim or pad under the foot that needs it. The table sits steady when we leave.
Extending dining tables
Extending dining tables are operationally a different job. The mechanism that lets the table grow (slide rails for end-leaf extensions, butterfly leaves that fold out from inside the table, drop leaves for smaller pieces) needs to be assembled in the right order, lubricated where the manual calls for it, and tested through its full range of motion. A common failure is that the table opens fine in the showroom but binds on the third or fourth use because something wasn't seated quite right at install. We assemble the mechanism against the manual, work it open and closed several times to check the action, and confirm the leaf or insert sits flush with the main top. Extending dining tables may need two builders, because the mainstays are heavy and the alignment matters.
Heavy and fragile tops, plus cleanup
Some tables come with tops that are heavy, fragile, or both. Marble dining tables can weigh 50 kilos for the top alone and are easy to chip on the corners. Glass tops are obvious. Drop them once and the job becomes a write-off. Solid timber tabletops are dense and dent if they're set down hard on a tiled floor. We may use two builders for these tops, set them on a drop sheet rather than the floor while the underframe is being built, and use suction handles for glass tops where they're hard to grip safely. Once the table is built, levelled, and tested, the packaging leaves with us: cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap, manuals, and the bag of dowels you'll never need. The room is swept before we go.
