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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
