Per-piece assembly pricing in Tampa
- IKEA Malm dresser / nightstand: $60 – $90
- IKEA Pax wardrobe (2-door): $180 – $260
- Queen platform bed: $90 – $160

The pieces that take forever
Anything modular — IKEA Pax, Sektion kitchens, Wayfair sectionals — has 3–5x the part count of a standard dresser. Budget time accordingly. Same with anything labeled "some assembly required" that ships in three large boxes.
Anti-tip and wall anchoring
Every tall dresser, bookshelf, and wardrobe needs to be anchored to a stud — especially in homes with kids. We bring proper anchors and a stud finder, and we always anchor as part of the install (no extra charge).
What to have ready before we arrive
- All boxes in the room where the piece will live
- Existing furniture moved out of the way
- A clear path from the door (especially for sectionals)
- Power outlet nearby for power tools
