What arrives needing assembly

Design Within Reach (DWR) shows an assembly line on its product pages, Requires Assembly or Comes fully assembled, so you know what is in the cartons before they are opened. Its own Matera bed requires assembly: it joins at slotted mortise-and-tenon corners, needs no box spring, and in the storage version carries six full-extension drawers on soft-closing glides. The Cove bed pairs solid wood rails, bedposts and footboard with solid ash slats and felt floor glides.

The same goes for storage, desks and outdoor pieces. The Loop dresser stands on powder-coated or chromed steel legs with soft-close drawer glides, the Edel table pairs solid wood legs and aprons with a veneered top, and the Terassi teak extension table stores its two leaves under the top, with an umbrella hole that stays centered when both leaves are in.

Built in order, run in front of you

We are experienced with Design Within Reach, and the build follows the manufacturer's order, step by step. Every part is counted against the list before anything is joined, and any pre-existing damage or missing part, a marked veneer edge or a short hardware bag, goes into a written report. We tell you immediately, help identify the part and guide you on getting the replacement.

Feet and felt glides are set to your floor, not to the piece, and each piece goes exactly where the designer's plan puts it, or where you point. The walkthrough comes last: drawers, doors and table leaves opened and run in front of you. The cardboard is cut down and stacked out of the way, and the job carries Masterwork Coverage, with the Masterwork Promise on top.

Contract-grade pieces for hospitality and offices

DWR Trade offers contract-grade furniture for hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes, and for small offices, studios and retail spaces. When those pieces arrive for a project, they are installed to the floor plan and sequenced to the opening date, which is what an FF&E installation covers.

Asked and answered

Asked about Design Within Reach.

Do you assemble Design Within Reach furniture in Austin?

Yes. We are experienced with Design Within Reach and build the pieces it marks Requires Assembly, including beds, storage beds, dressers, desks and outdoor dining tables, across Austin and Central Texas, Monday to Sunday. Every part is counted against the list first, each piece is built in the manufacturer's order and leveled to your floor, and any pre-existing damage or missing part goes into a written report.

How do I know if my DWR furniture needs assembly?

Check the product page. DWR product pages carry an assembly line: Requires Assembly or Comes fully assembled. The Matera and Cove beds, the Loop dresser, the Edel and Folk Ladder desks and outdoor tables such as the Kayu and the Terassi are marked Requires Assembly, while dressers such as the Line and the Miro come fully assembled. If yours needs building, send the product names when you book, so the crew arrives with the right tools and enough time on the board.

Can you assemble a DWR Matera bed with storage?

Yes. The Matera joins at slotted mortise-and-tenon corners, takes a mattress with no box spring, and in the storage version has six full-extension drawers, three on each side, on soft-closing glides. The frame is built in the manufacturer's order and squared before the drawers go in, then each drawer is run on its glides and checked for an even gap. Decide where the bed is going before we arrive, since the drawers need clearance on both sides.

Do you assemble DWR outdoor teak tables?

Yes. The Terassi extension table is solid teak with stainless steel, plastic and aluminum hardware, its two leaves nest under the top, and its umbrella plug has two concentric rings for different umbrella sizes. The Kayu table is solid unfinished teak, and the Sommer table is powder-coated aluminum. Each is built where it is going to live, on the patio or the deck, with the feet set to the surface, because pavers and patios are rarely flat.

Do you install DWR furniture for hotels, restaurants and offices?

Yes. We install DWR pieces for hotels, restaurants and offices to the floor plan. Send the specifications and the floor plan with the delivery dates and the site access, and the install is sequenced by zone to the opening. Pre-opening deadlines are what we plan around, the crew is scaled to the job, and we carry general liability coverage.
