Furniture Assembly

Flat-pack furniture put together right the first time, without leftover screws.

Flat-pack furniture ranges from a simple bookshelf to a bed frame with dozens of parts, and the difference between a sturdy piece and a wobbly one usually comes down to following the sequence correctly and not overtightening hardware too early. Assembly visits work through the instructions methodically rather than rushing.

Shore rental properties and second homes often need multiple pieces assembled at once ahead of a season or new tenant, which makes a single scheduled visit more efficient than tackling furniture piece by piece. Bringing a list of everything that needs assembly helps plan the visit's length.

Some furniture also needs to be anchored to a wall for safety, particularly tall dressers or bookshelves in homes with children. That's addressed as part of assembly when requested, using anchors suited to the wall type.

Problems we get called about

  • Multi-box furniture sets

    Bedroom or living room sets that arrive in several boxes and require organizing parts before assembly begins.

  • Missing or unclear hardware

    Furniture kits with confusing instructions or hardware that doesn't clearly match the diagram.

  • Wobbly or unstable finished pieces

    Furniture that ends up unstable due to skipped steps or hardware that wasn't fully tightened.

  • Wall-anchoring tall furniture

    Dressers, bookshelves, and cabinets that should be secured to the wall to prevent tipping.

  • Assembling for a move-in deadline

    New homeowners or renters needing multiple pieces put together before a specific move-in date.
