IKEA furniture assembly in Bronte

Bronte 2024's federation cottages and Edwardian semis make IKEA assembly more interesting than the IKEA picking list suggests. Doorways are narrower than modern standard, hallways have sharp turns, and lath-and-plaster walls need a different anchor strategy than the standard.

Bronte context

What ikea furniture assembly looks like in Bronte

We've carried plenty of PAX side panels into Bronte cottages where the standard 200cm panel won't take the corner from hall to bedroom — we end up assembling in place rather than tilting in. Lath-and-plaster wall fixing is the next problem: standard wall-fix screws spin in the lath without finding stud, and pulling out under load. We always locate the stud first and through-fix with structural screws into the timber frame, never relying on the plaster face. Most Bronte rooms aren't square either, so filler panels and scribing are the rule.
