Households completing an office setup

The short answer

Check the agreed configuration, ordinary tasks and unresolved issues. Assembly completion is not proof that the setup meets every user need.

Practical workflow

Compare installed items with the order and manuals. Confirm supported adjustments, equipment connections and access. Record user questions and observations during normal tasks without creating hazardous tests. Ask the appropriate assessor about fit or health concerns beyond the installer's scope.

What a useful handoff looks like

Produce a handover list with completed checks, exclusions and responsible follow-up. Keep evidence of defects separate from personal preferences. Revisit the record after any approved configuration change.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not sign everything satisfactory if known issues remain, or interpret a hardware check as medical clearance.
