Is ready-to-assemble furniture as good as already-assembled furniture?

Answer by  gaildennehy (6)

That depends on what use you have intended. Ready to assemble is a good substitute for already assembled furniture when you need something for short usage. Are your kids growing? Save the good stuff for later,but use a professional assembler. It will last. Dennehy Furniture Assembly, Phoenix

Yes, if you can do it right, have the right tools and don't crack the wood pieces. So many boxes come with poor instructions. Many don't have all the pieces.

The answer to that usually lies in the hands of the assembler. Most furniture has to be partially assembled either by the store or the customer usually though the furniture that come in more pieces break easier

I think it depends on the brand of the "ready-to-assemble" furniture. Just as with already-assembled, it can easily fall apart if the quality is bad.
