Flat-pack furniture assembly in Kenya
Flat-pack assembly following the actual manufacturer's instructions and a written item-condition check.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional sample order: Assemble one boxed flat-pack desk according to its exact manufacturer instructions, in the room where it will be used. Scope parts inventory, protected assembly, drawer operation if supplied and product-required restraint assessment. Exclude cutting panels, changing design, repairing transit damage and pretending an unfinished anti-tip stage is optional when the manual requires it.
