About Furniture Assembly
Common Problems During Assembly
Missing parts are the most frequent issue, especially dowels, cam locks, and screws. Damaged panels with chipped laminate or split MDF often appear on second-hand flat-pack items. Misaligned drawer runners and warped back panels cause doors to sit unevenly. Some customers find the printed manual missing pages or written in a foreign language. Ask how the provider handles these cases before work starts.
Disposal of Packaging and Old Furniture
Ask in advance whether packaging removal is included. Many pros will flatten cardboard and take it for a small fee or leave it bagged by your recycling area. Disposing of an old wardrobe or sofa usually costs extra, since it may require a van, a trip to a recycling centre, or a council bulk collection. Confirm the disposal location and request a receipt when possible.
Seasonal and Scheduling Tips
Demand peaks after holidays, in early autumn, and around back-to-school weeks. Booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead is normal during these periods. Same-day or next-day slots are often possible in slower months. Morning appointments tend to arrive on time more reliably than late afternoon ones. Confirm the arrival window by text or message the day before the visit.
Tools and Hardware That Should Be Provided
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.
Wall Fixing and Safety Concerns
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.
When It Is Better to Build It Yourself
Small items with fewer than 20 parts and no wall fixing are often manageable without help. Simple stools, small shelves, or basic bed frames usually fit this category. You need about 2 square meters of clear floor space, basic tools, and 1 to 2 hours free. If the instructions are unclear or the item is heavy, hiring a technician saves time.
What Customers Should Prepare Before the Visit
Clear the room where the item will sit, including nearby furniture. Keep the original box, all hardware bags, and the instruction manual within reach. Identify where wall anchors will be needed and mark stud positions if known. Make sure there is a power socket nearby for cordless drills. Good preparation often cuts the total visit time by 20 to 30 percent.
How Pricing Usually Works
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.
Guarantees and What to Ask in Writing
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.
Typical Time Required Per Item
A simple 4-drawer chest often takes 45 to 60 minutes for one technician. A queen bed frame with slats takes about 60 to 90 minutes. A large wardrobe with 2 sliding doors often needs 3 to 4 hours. Flat-pack kitchens with more than 12 cabinets usually require a full day. Time grows when items must be carried upstairs or assembled in tight rooms.
