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.
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.
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.
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.
Wrong parts inside the box, missing hardware, pre-drilled holes that do not align, and stripped cam-lock threads are the most frequent complaints. Particleboard panels sometimes arrive chipped or swollen at the edges. Drawer runners can stick if the carcass is twisted during assembly. Stop the job when parts do not match the manual, since forcing joints usually cracks the panel or splits the dowel seat.
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.
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.
A small bedside table usually takes 20 to 40 minutes. A standard 4-door wardrobe takes 2 to 4 hours. A 6-seater dining table takes 1.5 to 3 hours. A king-size bed frame with slats and storage drawers takes 90 to 150 minutes. A wall-mounted bookcase can take 3 to 5 hours. Time increases when parts are pre-damaged or instructions are missing.
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.
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.
