Furniture Assembly FAQ

Per item, based on how long it takes. A nightstand is quick; a PAX wardrobe with doors and drawers can take a few hours. Tell us the item names or links and the estimate gets tighter.

It helps. Most pros will carry boxes from the garage or entry, but large wardrobes should be built where they will stand.

Ask for it. Anti-tip anchoring takes a few minutes and is strongly recommended for any dresser or bookcase in a home with kids.

Small jobs. Done right.
