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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
