Furniture Brands — You may not realize it, but unclear furniture assembly instructions could be costing your company more than you think.
The Hidden Costs of Confusing Assembly
📞 Support tickets pile up: Customers reach out when they get stuck. That means more staff, longer wait times, and higher costs.
📦 Increased returns: When assembly fails, products come back—sometimes damaged, sometimes opened, sometimes unsellable.
👎 Negative reviews: "I liked the product, but the instructions were a nightmare." Reviews like these hurt your brand's reputation.
💸 Missed opportunities: If assembly looks too intimidating, some shoppers won’t even buy.
Why This Happens
Most people are visual learners. They’d much rather watch how to do it than decode a series of diagrams.
While 2D diagrams show movement and connections, they often lack the clarity needed to make steps easy to follow.
When the instructions aren’t clear, frustration builds fast.
