Assembly Guide

Everything you need to set up your Mobeliving pieces.

Most Mobeliving pieces arrive fully assembled or in minimal flat-pack form. Every product page clearly states assembly requirements. This guide covers the general process — always refer to the specific instruction sheet included in your package.

1. Which Items Require Assembly?

  • Fully assembled — Sofas, lounge chairs, armchairs, dining chairs, stools, and most accent furniture. Delivered ready to use.
  • Minor assembly — Bed frames (attaching headboard and slats), some side tables and shelving (attaching legs or mounting brackets). 15–30 minutes, basic tools only.
  • Full flat-pack — Wardrobes, bookshelves, TV units, and some storage pieces. Requires 45–90 minutes and 2 people for larger items.

Assembly requirements are listed prominently on each product page. If in doubt, check before ordering or ask us.

2. Before You Start

  • Unbox carefully — cut tape along seams rather than slashing through packaging to avoid scratching surfaces
  • Lay all parts on a clean, carpeted or padded floor
  • Check the parts list against the instruction sheet — all hardware should be in a sealed bag inside the packaging
  • If any parts are missing or damaged, stop and contact us immediately at hello@mobeliving.id before proceeding
  • For items requiring 2 people, have your helper present before starting

3. Tools You’ll Need

Most Mobeliving pieces include the necessary Allen key (hex wrench). You may also need:

ToolUsed for

Rubber malletTight-fit dowels and connectors
Spirit levelWardrobes and shelving units

4. General Assembly Process

  1. 1
    Identify all components Lay out every part and match them to the numbered diagram in your instruction sheet. Group hardware by type.
  2. 2
    Build the main frame first Connect the largest structural pieces. Insert dowels and cam locks — tighten by hand first, then secure with your Allen key. Do not fully tighten until all frame pieces are connected.
  3. 3
    Attach secondary components Doors, drawers, shelves, and legs. Check alignment before tightening. Doors and drawers have adjustment screws on the hinges — use them to achieve perfect alignment.
  4. 4
    Tighten all fixings Go around all bolts and screws and tighten firmly. Avoid over-tightening on wood — stop when snug.
  5. 5
    Wall anchor (if applicable) For wardrobes and tall shelving over 160 cm, always anchor to the wall using the supplied bracket. This is a safety requirement, especially in earthquake-prone regions.
  6. 6
    Final check Test drawers, doors, and any moving parts. Check that the piece sits level on the floor. Adjust leg levellers if present.

7. Care Tips After Assembly

  • Wood & veneer: Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Apply furniture wax or oil every 6 months.
  • Upholstery: Vacuum regularly. For fabric, use a fabric cleaner; for leather, use a dedicated leather conditioner.
  • Metal & rattan: Wipe with a dry cloth. Keep away from prolonged moisture.
  • Check fixings periodically: Re-tighten bolts every 6–12 months, especially on chairs and tables subject to regular use.
