Furniture Assembly
Furniture Assembly and Disassembly in the DMV
Flat-pack furniture is designed to be assembled, and it is still the reason a lot of Saturdays disappear. We build beds, desks, dressers, shelving, wardrobes, cribs and office furniture, and we take the same things apart when you are moving. From $89 for a standard item.
Assembly
We work from the manufacturer’s instructions, use the supplied hardware, check that everything sits square and level, and tighten in the right order so a piece does not rack. Packaging is broken down and stacked for your building’s recycling. If a part is missing or damaged in the box — which happens more often than the manufacturers would like — we will tell you exactly what to order rather than improvising a fix that fails in six months.
Disassembly for a move
Bed frames, table legs, sectional connectors, shelving units and modular wardrobes usually have to come apart to leave a room. We bag and label every piece of hardware to the item it belongs to, which is the single thing that most often goes wrong when people do this themselves the night before a move.
Wall mounting and what we will not do
Anti-tip brackets that come with a dresser or bookcase are part of assembling it correctly, and we fit them. Mounting televisions, floating shelves or heavy cabinets to a wall is a different job with different risk — ask us and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we take on, rather than drilling into a wall we have not assessed.

Questions
Furniture Assembly — frequently asked
How long does a typical item take?
A nightstand or small desk is under an hour. A bed frame with storage drawers or a large wardrobe can take two to three hours. We will tell you the realistic window when we quote.
What if a part is missing from the box?
We will identify the exact part number so you can request a replacement from the manufacturer. We will not substitute hardware or improvise a fix on a load-bearing joint.
Can you mount my TV on the wall?
Ask us first. Wall mounting depends on the wall construction and the mount, and it is not something we take on sight-unseen.
Can you assemble at the end of a move?
Yes, and adding it to a move booking is usually cheaper than scheduling a separate visit.
