What is Ready-To-Assemble Furniture (RTA)?

Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) Furniture has become a consumer-friendly alternative because of improved materials and design innovations. While cost is the most important factor for many corporate buyers, consumers are drawn to the improved quality and increased options and styles that are available in today’s RTA furniture.

RTA furniture is typically constructed from particleboard coated with colored melamine or wood veneers. Primary RTA furniture products include entertainment centers, electronic and computer furniture, storage units, cabinets, desks and dressers. RTA furniture has flexible designs that allow multiple pieces to be made from basic configurations.

The primary distribution path for manufactures of RTA furniture is the mass merchandisers such as K-Mart, Wal-Mart. Other outlets which are leading the way in RTA furniture are contemporary specialty chains, superstores such as Office Depot, Staples, Office Max and Ikea.

Ready-to-assemble, or RTA, furniture promises great value, but you may have heard horror stories about assembly or quality. Here are some ways to avoid frustration.

Instructions

1. Take vital measurements with you when you shop: lengths of walls, wall height under windows, width of stairwell and so forth.
2. Look at the joinery on the floor samples. The pieces should fit together tightly, without wobbles.
3. Check the floor samples for damage such as chipped veneer. This type of damage is difficult to impossible to repair, and if a floor sample shows signs of serious problems, it's reasonable to expect that your furniture will experience the same fate.
4. Choose pieces that are substantial and heavy. Flimsy pieces will be more easily damaged when moved and just won't hold up as well when loaded with books or electronics.
5. Ask about the instructions. Some foreign-made pieces have instructions that were badly translated into English, although some U.S. retailers are rewriting for clarity.
6. Ask whether there's a manufacturer's help line if you have a question while assembling your purchase.
7. Find out how long the piece typically takes to assemble. If you're not handy, you'll probably want to add to the time, but it gives you a starting point for deciding whether this is a project you want to tackle. Contact MAC today for a free estimate!
8. Look at the instructions if possible to find out what tools you'll need for assembly (a power screwdriver can be a godsend) and to see whether they're easy to follow.
9. Talk to the salesperson about having someone else assemble the piece if you decide the job isn't for you. Most stores can put you in touch with an independent assembly service.
10. Ask about the store's return policy. Be aware that it's sometimes difficult to get pieces back in the box exactly as they were originally packed, so beware if that's a condition for returning merchandise.

Tips & Warnings

• RTA furniture generally offers exceptional value - and it has a plus when you move: It can be disassembled. Be sure to save the original assembly instructions to ease reassembly later.
• Assemble the furniture in the room in which it will be used. Otherwise you may find it won't fit through a doorway or can't turn a crucial corner.
• Don't over tighten fasteners during assembly; you can damage the furniture. Some instructions will recommend giving fasteners the last few turns by hand rather than with a power tool that has too much muscle.
