Depending on the construction techniques used, flat pack furniture may or may not break back down easily once it has been assembled.
Designers of flat pack furniture typically create furnishings which are very easy to mass produce. Most companies also pre-drill holes and do other preparation work so that consumers can fit the pieces of flat pack furniture together with minimal work. The flat pack furniture is packaged with all of the hardware and tools necessary to assemble it, along with assembly directions. The assembly directions for flat pack furniture are rather notorious in some circles, as they typically include vague illustrations and poorly worded sentences, forcing consumers to puzzle[puzzle?:jigsaw puzzle] out the assembly of flat pack furniture on their own.
The quality of flat pack furniture can vary widely. Some companies use high quality materials, creating furniture which is meant to last and be attractive. The use of plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine] fittings is common in cheaper flat pack furniture, while more high end flat pack furniture uses higher quality woods and may even be designed to be environmentally friendly.
