Level before we leaveYou see the bubble centered before we pack up.

What we build

  • A bed frame and a dresser for a new bedroom.
  • A wardrobe that has to stand square in an alcove.
  • Bookcases the maker says to strap to the wall.
  • A desk and a chair for the room you work from.
  • A crib or a changing table before the baby arrives.

Square, then level

A tall piece only works if its frame is square. We check the diagonals as it goes together, before the back panel locks the shape in. Then it goes in place on your floor and the level goes on top. Where the floor slopes, we shim the base until the bubble sits centered.

Doors and drawers go on last. We adjust the hinges until the gaps between the doors run even and every drawer closes flush.

Strapped where the maker calls for it

A dresser or a bookcase can tip forward when a drawer is pulled out or a child climbs it. Most makers pack an anti-tip strap for that reason. We fix it to a solid part of the frame, never the thin back panel, then into a stud. Plaster takes a longer screw into the stud. Brick takes a masonry anchor, and steel studs a heavy toggle.

A piece that came with no strap can be anchored too. That's its own install on the board, and the strap is ours.

How a build goes

  1. You tell us the items. The store and the product name are enough.
  2. We add up the board prices and hold your day. One total, confirmed in writing first.
  3. We open the boxes in the room each piece goes in. Parts are counted against the instructions before anything goes together.
  4. Each piece is built and set level. Where the maker calls for a strap, it goes on before we leave.
  5. The packaging leaves with us. Boxes are broken down and carried out, with the foam and the plastic.

What the price depends on

  • How many items. Each one keeps its board price, added up on one quote.
  • A piece with no strap of its own. Anchoring it is a furniture anchoring install at its own board price.
  • Anything the board doesn't cover, such as a cabinet that hangs on the wall. You hear the extra before we start.

Furniture assembly questions

Do you assemble IKEA furniture?

Yes, and flat-pack from any other store. Send the product names and we plan the day around them.

What if a part is missing from the box?

We count the parts before we start, so you hear about a missing one first. We build everything else, and finishing that piece is booked once the part arrives.

Can you build everything for a move-in?

Yes. Book one install day. We work room by room in the order you choose, so the rooms you need first are done first.

Do you work in apartment buildings?

Yes. If the building keeps work hours or needs the freight elevator booked, tell us when you ask for the day and we plan around it.

From the install board

Every square is one flat price, and we confirm yours in writing before we hold your day.

Any wallOne flat price per item, whatever the wall. Where a piece needs a strap, it goes on as in the anchoring row.

The board price is the price for that install. If we find something the board doesn't cover, you hear it before the first hole and can say no.

Several installs in one visit? Each keeps its board price. We add them up and hold one day.
