Studio Flat Starter Package in Solid Walnut

Everything a studio needs, in one delivery, sized for a studio of 20 to 30 square metres where one room has to be a bedroom, a dining room and an office. 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 1.8 square metres of floor taken by the whole package
• Material: solid American black walnut, finished in hardwax oil, which darkens very little because walnut arrives dark

• Assembly: flat packed, about 5 hours in total for the whole package
• Getting it in: Flat packed in 7 cartons, largest 760mm by 1200mm by 320mm. Through a standard 762mm door: on its side, yes. Into a small lift: yes
• Weight: approximately 118.0 kilograms in total
• Contents: one 700mm folding wall desk, one nest of three tables, one 800mm narrow sideboard, one 600mm bedside table, two folding chairs, one 400mm shoe cabinet
• 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 700mm folding wall desk
• One nest of three tables
• One 800mm narrow sideboard
• One 600mm bedside table
• Two folding chairs
• One 400mm shoe cabinet
• 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.
