Open and close every drawer and door at least 5 times to confirm smooth travel. Shake tall units gently to test stability. Look for gaps between panels, uneven edges, or protruding screws. Use a level on top of the unit, not against the wall, which is often not plumb. A small spirit level reveals leaning that the eye can miss easily.
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.
Cardboard, foam, plastic wrap, and broken-down boxes take up significant space. Some providers remove packaging as part of the service for an extra fee. Others leave it at the curb or inside the home. Old furniture removal is usually a separate job. Ask if the technician carries bags, ties, or a small trolley, or if you should prepare them in advance.
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.
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.
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.
Most technicians charge per item, not per hour, with rates ranging widely based on size and complexity. Small items like bedside tables start at the lower end. Medium items such as 6-drawer dressers sit in the middle range. Large wardrobes and kitchens reach the upper range. Travel distance, floor level, and wall fixing often add separate fees. Always request a written quote.
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.
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.
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.
