Yifan Wood Industry Furniture Installation Guide: Key Steps to Create a Perfect Home

Pre-installation Preparations

• Tool Preparation
• : As the saying goes, "A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well." Essential tools include an electric screwdriver, hammer, tape measure, level, etc. These tools enhance efficiency and accuracy. For example, an electric screwdriver speeds up screw tightening, while a level ensures the furniture is installed evenly.

• Read the Manual: The instruction manual is your installation bible. It details the furniture structure, assembly steps, and precautions. Reading it in advance helps you understand key points and avoid mistakes.
• Check Parts: Inspect all components one by one to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Sort parts for easy access. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the seller immediately to avoid delays.
• Measure the Space: Accurately measure the installation area to ensure the furniture fits perfectly. This prevents issues like mismatched sizes that affect installation or aesthetics.

Installation Steps and Tips

• Assemble Large Components First: Start with major parts like the cabinet body or base plate, which form the skeleton of the furniture. Ensure all components are tightly and stably connected during assembly.
• Fix Screws Properly: Use specialized tools to fix screws, paying attention to direction and torque to avoid misalignment or stripping. An electric screwdriver is efficient here, but adjust the torque to prevent damaging the panels.
• Install Hardware Components: Hardware like hinges and slides is vital for furniture durability and usability. Install them with precise alignment—for example, ensure cabinet doors open/close flexibly and drawers slide smoothly.
• Protect the Furniture Surface: Shield the furniture from scratches during installation. Lay soft pads or old sheets on the floor, and handle parts with care. Lift (don’t drag) furniture when moving to avoid damage.

Common Installation Issues and Solutions

• Missing or Damaged Parts: Stay calm if parts are missing or damaged. Contact the seller promptly to request replacements, and secure the installed components while waiting.
• Uneven Installation: Use a level to check flatness. If uneven, adjust the furniture’s position or place appropriate shims under its feet to ensure balanced weight distribution.
• Sticky Drawer Slides: Check if slide screws are loose and tighten them. Clean debris from the slides with a brush and apply lubricant to restore smoothness.
• Excessive Gaps: If gaps between components are too large, adjust the installation position to narrow them. For unadjustable gaps, use caulking materials to enhance both appearance and dust resistance.

Installation Acceptance Notes

• Check Color and Material: Verify that the furniture’s color and material match the order to avoid discrepancies. Inspect the surface for defects, scratches, or color differences, and resolve issues with installers/sellers promptly.
• Confirm Hardware: Check that hardware brands and models are correct, and ensure they are firmly installed and operate smoothly (e.g., hinges, slides, and handles).
• Test Cabinets and Drawers: Open/close cabinets and drawers repeatedly to check for 卡顿 (jams), abnormal noises, or poor closure. Ensure they function stably for daily use.
• Handle Installation Holes: Examine installation holes for aesthetics. Use repair materials matching the furniture color to fill and touch up obvious holes, blending them with the surface.
