Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are modesty blocks used for?

Modesty blocks are used to join two wooden surfaces at a right angle, commonly found in flat-pack furniture, cabinets, and shelving units. They provide a low-cost and reliable method for reinforcement.

Q2: Are screws included in the pack?

No, screws are not included. You will need to use appropriate wood screws based on the material thickness and application.

Q3: Can they be used on MDF or particle board?

Yes. These blocks are suitable for MDF, particle board, plywood, and solid wood, though care should be taken when screwing into softer boards to avoid splitting.

Q4: What’s the difference between the white and brown versions?

The difference is purely aesthetic. The white blocks blend in with lighter coloured or painted furniture, while the brown blocks are suited to darker wood tones.

Q5: Are these reusable?

Yes, modesty blocks can often be reused during furniture disassembly and reassembly, provided they have not been damaged.

Q6: Are these suitable for outdoor use?

These blocks are primarily intended for indoor furniture. If used outdoors, ensure they are protected from prolonged moisture or UV exposure, as they are not weatherproof.

Q7: How much weight can they support?

While modesty blocks offer good strength for typical furniture loads, they are not intended for heavy-duty structural applications. Use additional support brackets for high-load areas.
