The Ultimate Aftercare Guide for Your New Flatpack Furniture

Here’s your quick Flatpack Aftercare Guide from the experts at Home Flatpack

Give it time to settle Flatpack furniture often needs 24 hours to fully settle into position. Avoid overloading drawers or shelves straight away — let the fittings adjust naturally. Keep it clean Dust with a soft, dry cloth or a lightly damp microfibre. Skip harsh cleaners — they can strip finishes and loosen glue or edge bindings.

Watch out for wobbles

If you spot a wobble or squeak, don’t panic. A simple screw check-up usually does the trick. Tighten gently (but don’t overdo it!) to keep joints secure.

Mind the movement

Avoid dragging furniture when moving it — always lift to prevent stress on joints or fixings.

Protect from heat and moisture

Keep flatpack furniture away from radiators, direct sunlight, and damp spots. Temperature changes can warp panels and loosen fittings over time.
