Looking for a Joiner from Derby

Hi all,
Greetings from Scotland.
I'm going to the derby soon and left Swansea behind.
I've lived in Swansea long 18 years! I have to dispose of all my furniture because storage was very expensive! I started planning to buy furniture for the house. this time I'm going to buy a corner sofa bench with a dining table. Actually, I like this style a lot but I don't know if this style is comfortable or not! if anyone here can give me an idea a corner sofa bench is better than a normal chair for a dining table?

where I can find a local joiner in derby for assembling the corner sofa bench & dining table. I read online this style is very complicated to assemble!
I would greatly appreciate it if you kindly share your valuable experience with me.
Thank you for any help you can offer,

Gratefully,

Prishaan

    You want a joiner to construct this from scratch?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You really don't want a joiner for assembling flat-pack furniture; at best you want a handyman.

    As @Grenage says, you just need someone with a screwdriver.  Most people assemble flat pack furniture themselves. Are you sure that's beyond you?

    A joiner is a craftsman, who won't be prepared to take on a job like this.

    yes I'm pretty sure its not a cup of tea for me because I read the  product reviews they said this table is  really heavy table and complicated to assemble! So after opening the packaging i don't want to put myself in difficult situation! but talk to you all it was really helpful and  reassuring! thank you again <3

    Google found a firm in Derby who seems to specialise in this sort of work.

    Best way to learn to put flat pack together is to have a go. Do you have any family/friends in Derby who might know how to put flat pack together? Get them to help you and you will pick up some pointers. Probably be a 2 person job anyway.
