Small Living Room Package in Solid Walnut

Everything a living room needs, in one delivery, sized for a living room under about 14 square metres, furnished without blocking a walkway. Every piece is under 800mm wide and the whole package is planned to sit in the floor area rather than to fill it.

A package is cheaper than the pieces bought separately and, more usefully, it arrives in one delivery on one day. Furnishing a flat one item at a time from four different shops means four deliveries, four assembly sessions and four sets of packaging to get rid of, which in a flat with no garage is its own problem. Everything in a package is in the same material and the same finish batch, and it is all sized to work together in the floor area stated rather than simply to be small individually.

Specification

• Dimensions: every piece under 800mm wide, full schedule below
• Floor footprint: about 1.5 square metres of floor taken by the whole package

• Assembly: flat packed, about 3 hours in total for the whole package

• Contents: one 800mm narrow sideboard, one nest of three tables, one 700mm ladder shelf, one 350mm side table, one 600mm folding console
• Saving against buying the pieces separately: about 12 per cent
• Delivered in one slot on one day, two person delivery to the room of your choice
• Packaging taken away on the same visit if you ask when you book

What you get

• One 800mm narrow sideboard
• One nest of three tables
• One 700mm ladder shelf
• One 350mm side table
• One 600mm folding console
• Felt pads fitted to every foot
• Anti tip straps for the tall pieces, use them or do not
• One hex key and one spanner, not five of each
• A room plan showing one workable arrangement, which you are free to ignore

Assembly

Flat packed and best done by two people, mostly for the moment you stand it up. About an hour with a hex key and a spanner, both in the box. Fittings are cam locks and threaded steel inserts, so it comes apart and goes back together properly rather than chewing out the panel.

If you are renting

Freestanding, no wall fixing needed and no holes in anybody's plaster. An anti tip strap is in the box if you want it and there is nothing to make good if you never use it. Felt pads are fitted to every foot as standard, because the other way to lose a deposit is a scratch across a floor you did not lay.
