Furniture assembly looks simple on paper but eats up entire afternoons. For homeowners across Rockland County, professional assembly has become one of our most popular services at Odds & Ends.
**Why Professional Assembly**
What takes an experienced assembler forty-five minutes can take a first-timer three to four hours. Properly assembled furniture is square, level, and stable. Every cam lock is fully tightened, every dowel is seated, and wall anchoring is done where needed. This matters especially for bookcases, dressers, and wardrobes that can tip if not assembled correctly and secured to the wall.
**What We Assemble**
Almost anything that comes in a flat pack: bed frames, dressers, desks, bookshelves, entertainment centers, dining tables, storage cabinets, wardrobes, outdoor furniture, and exercise equipment.
We work with all major brands including IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Target, CB2, West Elm, and Pottery Barn. If it comes with instructions and hardware, we can build it.
**The IKEA Factor**
IKEA furniture is well-designed and affordable, but assembly ranges from straightforward to genuinely puzzling. We have assembled everything in their catalog, from simple KALLAX shelving to complex PAX wardrobe systems with custom interiors. If you are doing an IKEA haul, we can assemble multiple pieces in one visit.
**Wall Anchoring**
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends anchoring all freestanding furniture over 30 inches tall, especially in homes with young children. We include wall anchoring as part of our assembly for any furniture that requires it, using the right anchor type for your wall — drywall, plaster, or concrete block.
**What to Expect**
We arrive with all necessary tools. Most items take thirty minutes to two hours depending on complexity. We assemble in the room where the furniture will live, and all packaging is cleaned up when we finish.
If furniture arrived with damaged or missing parts, we can identify the issue during assembly and advise on getting replacements from the manufacturer.
**Multiple Pieces, One Visit**
Schedule assembly for multiple items at once. New bedroom? Bed frame, dresser, and nightstands in a single visit. Home office? Desk, bookshelf, and filing cabinet all in one trip.
