    I like one sideboard in Harvey Norman but it is self assembly. I have self assembled beds and simple furniture but I'm bit nervous about building my own sideboard in case it ends up bit wonky.

    Any advice? Do you think self assembled furniture can look as if it was done by professional?

    My advice would be to plan a few hours to yourself with guaranteed no interruption
    Use a blanket on the ground to lay everything out in a room next to the room which your building the item in,
    Use some evostick PVA wood glue on dowels and keep a toilet roll to hand for wiping off small bits of excess during the building process.

    Take time to lay everything out where all parts are visible and have a cup of tea or coffee prior to commencing assembly, also regarding tools if you dont have any and your not a daily user of such items then I suggest Shopping at Mr.price or IKEA have a good offer on an assembly kit which is of fairly good standard for only €8

    I've built alot of self assembly items in our daughter's room from the bed to wardrobe and desk, having the desk self assembly made it easier to purchase a toughened glass top to protect the surface as I brought the top section to a local glass company for measuring prior to assembling

    Ive found rather than looking at the finished item just yet start at page 01 and it will begin to come together without much stress.
