Furniture Assembly in Tampa: IKEA & Wayfair Tips

Emmanuel Fenelon January 12, 2026 5 min read

Tampa furniture assembly pricing, which pieces take longest, and how to avoid the wobble — from IKEA wardrobes to Wayfair beds.

Per-piece assembly pricing in Tampa

  • IKEA Malm dresser / nightstand: $60 – $90
  • IKEA Pax wardrobe (2-door): $180 – $260
  • Queen platform bed: $90 – $160
  • Office desk (basic): $70 – $110
  • Standing desk with motor: $120 – $180
  • Sectional sofa: $120 – $220
  • Pack-and-play / crib: $80 – $130

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
