Say goodbye to the Allen Key: This Australian company makes furniture that is 100% tool-free

One of the many pains of furniture shopping is the challenge of assembly. We’ve pinched our fingers countless times trying to screw that tiny nail in with an unwieldy Allen Key — not to mention the nails that we have to twist agonisingly by hand.

But one Australian company has rejected everything the Allen Key stands for: stress, pain, rust and more, and embraced the beauty of simplicity in furniture assembly. By incorporating modular elements to the assembly process, Koala has removed the most tedious part of furniture ownership, letting you skip straight to the great part: bragging about that brand new bookshelf you built all by yourself.

And the best part? They’re running a storewide 30% sale right now, until Sunday 16 August. Browse a selection of their best sellers at great value and make that next home purchase a pain-free one!
