Tall furniture must be anchored to the wall to prevent tipping, especially in homes with children. The pro should locate studs in plasterboard walls using a detector, then fix the unit with brackets or anti-tip straps rated for at least 50 kg of pull force. On brick or concrete, a hammer drill and 8 mm wall plugs are used. Never anchor tall pieces with just drywall anchors.
The pro should bring a cordless drill with torque control, hex drivers in metric sizes, a rubber mallet, a spirit level, and a stud finder. Wood glue, wood filler, and touch-up markers are useful for visible edges. Check that all cam locks, dowels, screws, and hinges from the box are present before work begins, so missing parts are reported while the pro is still on site.
The service covers flat-pack furniture from common brands, including beds, wardrobes, desks, bookcases, dining tables, and outdoor seating. Most pros also assemble bedside tables, TV stands, shoe racks, and nursery furniture. Ask whether kitchen cabinets or wall-mounted storage units are included, since those often require a separate specialist due to drilling into masonry and load-bearing considerations.
Ask for a written guarantee covering workmanship for at least 30 days. The guarantee should cover loose joints, misaligned doors, or fallen shelves under normal use. It should not cover damage from misuse, moving the item, or pets. Confirm whether follow-up visits are free or charged. Keep the invoice, the item list, and the technician's contact details for future reference.
Tall furniture must be anchored to the wall to prevent tipping, especially in homes with children. A proper fix uses a stud finder, appropriate anchors for the wall material, and a bracket supplied or fitted by the technician. Drywall anchors differ from masonry plugs. Ask which anchor type will be used and whether the price includes the bracket. Poor fixing is a common accident cause.
A good technician arrives with a cordless drill, hex bits, a rubber mallet, a level, a stud finder, a measuring tape, and a set of screwdrivers. Wall anchors, screws, and plugs are sometimes not included in the kit. Ask whether the provider supplies these or if you should buy them. Confirm the wall type, drywall, plaster, brick, or concrete, before the visit.
Assembly covers flat-pack items such as wardrobes, beds, desks, bookshelves, drawers, and TV units. It also includes fitting handles, drawer runners, door hinges, shelf pins, and cam locks. Some providers also hang wall-mounted units, install soft-close mechanisms, or attach casters and legs to sofas. Always confirm whether wall fixing,搬运, or packaging removal is included before booking.
Open and close every drawer and door at least 5 times to confirm smooth travel. Push the unit gently from the side; it should not wobble. Place a spirit level on the top edge; the bubble should sit centred both ways. Check that all cam locks are fully tightened by trying to rock each panel. Photograph any visible chips before the pro leaves the room.
Some pros charge per item, others charge per hour at 25 to 60 euros per hour. Per-item rates range from 15 euros for a small stool to 120 euros or more for a large wardrobe with sliding doors. Travel distance, floor level without lift access, and the need for wall fixing change the final total. Always request a written quote that lists each item separately and any hourly minimums.
Clear the room where the item will stand, including rugs and wall decorations. Measure doorways, stair turns, and the final position to confirm the box fits through. Have a cleared wall area at least 1 m around the build site. Identify the exact wall material, since plasterboard, brick, and concrete require different fixings. Keep children and pets away from the work zone during assembly.
