How to assemble a kitchen corner?

The kitchen corner is a part of the interior design that meets modern trends in interior design. This type of furniture is a functional addition to the standard kitchen furniture set. It is installed in the corner of the room, serves as a number of seats and acts as an additional space for storing household items. The corner is supplied unassembled, which means that it can be reassembled on site. In the absence of a qualified specialist, you can assemble a kitchen corner with your own hands.

Kitchen corners can be produced in various variations. The differences between their models from each other are identified by the following features:

• constructive;
• functional;
• dimensional;
• stylistic.

The design of a separate kitchen corner may differ from the designs of other models and depend on the characteristics of the room in which it is installed.

The functionality of the corner is a characteristic that allows you to use it with maximum efficiency. The high level of functionality implies the presence of additional storage compartments, shelves, armrests and other elements. The component property of this parameter can be attributed to the wear resistance of the surface of the case and the soft part used for the seats. The higher the degree of resistance of such furniture to operational loads, the higher the coefficient of its functionality.

The dimensions of the kitchenette are determined by the individual parameters of the room. The more free space, the larger the corner you can place on it. The size criteria are also taken into account when calculating the number of seats sufficient for daily use.

The style of corner furniture is determined by the design features of the entire room. When choosing a corner, the following are taken into account: its shape, presence / absence of straight or curved lines, color of the body coating, shades of the soft layer and other characteristics.

A corner made in the High-Tech style will not match the interior, the decoration of which is made on the basis of the basic principles of the Art Nouveau style. A similar combination scheme is valid for all stylistic directions.

To assemble a corner in the kitchen, you need a minimum list of tools:

• screwdrivers (flat, Phillips);
• hex key for furniture;
• masking tape;
• hammer;
• pliers;
• other related tools.

Screwdrivers are needed to drive screws and other screw fasteners.

A hex wrench is required to screw in the Euro bolts. These bolts are widely used in furniture design. They have a hexagonal internal slot. In most cases, the required key is supplied with the corner accessories. To speed up the assembly process, you can use a screwdriver and a bit-nozzle, which has a hexagonal profile, the size of which corresponds to the same parameters of the stock hexagon wrench. The use of a power tool allows you to reduce the degree of effort applied when manually screwing in Euro bolts.

It protects the surface of the furniture from damage that may result from the contact of the tool with the decorative coating.

A hammer and pliers are used to mount chipboard elements. These can be parts of the bottom of the case or the back wall. In most cases, when assembling furniture, fiberboard is fastened with small nails. It is better to use a light hammer to hammer them, which will help to reduce the stress on the forearm muscles and tendons. Pliers help in removing damaged nails and other assembly and disassembly work.

Before starting the assembly, it is necessary to inspect and unpack the boxes in which the corner is supplied. On one of the side surfaces of each package, there must be a designation of its number. Boxes with the same number contain parts of the same type.

Inside one of the boxes there should be a diagram showing the order in which the corner is assembled. Also, this paper contains a description of the list of components of the structure. It is necessary to make sure that the parts on hand correspond to the identical names shown in the diagram. In the absence of any spare parts, it is worth contacting the furniture supplier or purchasing them in a specialized store.

Grouping the component parts of the corner will help to facilitate the assembly process. Parts related to the same part of the structure should be placed together.

Next, the main elements are assembled. They can be side walls, front and back walls. In comparison with other parts, these parts are the largest. Thus, a bunch of parts that make up the main supporting structure are performed.

The connection of parts to each other is made with Eurobolts. When screwing them in, you should be careful and control the tightening force. An overtightened bolt head can damage the exterior trim.

It is important to align the bolt holes in the parts with each other. This is necessary for the correct assembly of the structure.

After the main dimensional parts, additional components are mounted. They can be upholstery elements, armrests, shelves, drawers and others.

Technological marks should be put on the surface of the parts, determining the location of certain fasteners. It is important to adhere to the alignment of bolts and screws with their seating points. To ensure the best quality in this regard, you should periodically check the instructions.

The finishing stroke is pulling all connections to eliminate the occurrence of backlash.

Due to its oversized dimensions, the corner is assembled right in the kitchen. This will simplify its further installation and preparation for operation.

The kitchen corner should be installed in the corner of the room with the most advantageous location. At the same time, he should not touch the wall covering, which will protect them from wear and tear at the points of contact.
