About Furniture Assembly
Scheduling Tips and Busy Periods
Demand rises in the 2 weeks before Christmas, around Black Friday, and during the September back-to-school window, so book at least 10 to 14 days ahead. Midweek slots are usually cheaper than Saturdays. Confirm a 2-hour arrival window rather than a fixed time, since previous jobs often run long. Reschedule at least 24 hours before to avoid cancellation fees of up to 50 percent.
Guarantees and What to Ask in Writing
Ask for a written guarantee covering at least 12 months on workmanship, including loose joints, misaligned doors, and damaged panels caused during assembly. Request the company name, VAT number, and a phone number on the receipt. Clarify who pays if a part is defective and needs to be reordered, and who covers the return visit. Keep the instructions manual for warranty claims.
How to Check the Job Was Done Well
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common Problems During Assembly
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.
Tools and Hardware That Should Be Provided
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.
What Customers Should Prepare Before the Visit
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.
Typical Time Required Per Item
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.
