Who books this service
IKEA delivery day
Boxes arrived and you need it done today or this weekend. We assemble every piece, anchor shelves to the wall and dispose of the flat-pack waste.
Just moved in
Beds, desks, dressers and shelves all need building at once. Book a multi-item visit — we work through the list so you can sleep in your own bed tonight.
Home office setup
Desk, chair, shelving and storage assembled in one visit so you're not losing work time.
Kids' bedroom
Loft beds, bunk beds, dressers and toy storage — safely assembled and wall-anchored. Anti-tip straps included for tall units near kids.
Office or condo
Boardroom chairs, storage units, desks and shelving for commercial spaces. Quiet, professional and finished before the workday starts.
Gift assembly
Furniture was a gift and the recipient can't assemble it themselves. We coordinate directly and leave everything set up before you arrive.
What to have ready before we arrive
A quick prep saves time and keeps the visit efficient:
Boxes in the room
Move flat-pack boxes to the room where the furniture will live. Assembly in-place is faster than building in a hallway and carrying finished pieces.
Clear the floor space
We need enough space to lay out parts. Clear roughly the footprint of the finished piece, plus room to work around it.
All boxes accounted for
Check that all boxes from the delivery are present before the appointment. Missing boxes from a multi-box item need to be resolved before we can complete the build.
Missing a part?We'll flag it before starting and help you contact the manufacturer. IKEA parts can usually be ordered free through their website — we'll tell you exactly what to request.
★★★★★Google Review“Helped assemble two beds and a dresser after our move. Everything is sturdy, the packaging was stacked neatly and Steve was done in under two hours. Would absolutely book again.”
Wall anchoring and anti-tip straps
Tall shelving, bookcases, dressers and wardrobes should be anchored to wall studs — especially in homes with children. We include wall anchoring as an add-on to any assembly job. Anti-tip furniture straps are a 5-minute install that can prevent a serious accident.
Alberta note: Canadian safety standards recommend anti-tip anchoring for all freestanding furniture taller than 76 cm in homes with children under 6.
Add wall anchoring to your quote →Good to know
- Items must be at the location before the appointment
- Multi-item visits — send the full list so we schedule enough time
- If a part is missing, we flag it before starting — not after
- Packaging flattened and stacked for city recycling pickup
- Large cardboard volumes may need bulk pickup arrangement
- No power tools that damage rental floors — we protect surfaces
Frequently asked questions
How long does furniture assembly take?
A single medium item (bed frame or desk) takes 45–90 minutes including setup and cleanup. A multi-item IKEA delivery (5–7 pieces — bed, dresser, wardrobe, desk) typically takes a half day. We estimate time accurately when you send the item list.
Do I need to supply any tools or hardware?
No. We bring all tools — drivers, hex keys, mallets, levels and everything needed. The only thing you need is the boxes in the room and the instruction manual (usually inside the box).
Can you assemble IKEA PAX wardrobes and full systems?
Yes — including frames, internal fittings (drawers, shelves, pull-outs), doors and soft-close hardware. PAX systems take longer than most items. Send the exact configuration for an accurate quote.
What if a part is missing or damaged?
We check the part list before starting. If something is missing, we'll pause, document exactly what's needed and help you contact the manufacturer. IKEA provides free replacement parts — we'll tell you the exact part name and number to request.
Can you assemble furniture on an upper floor or in a condo?
Yes. We handle condo and apartment assembly regularly. Let us know about elevator access, parking and any building rules around work hours. Some buildings require contractor registration — let us know in advance and we'll sort it.
Do you take apart old furniture before building new?
Disassembly and removal can be added to the quote. If you have old furniture to break down before the new pieces are built, include that in your request so we schedule enough time.
Can you assemble and then move furniture to a different room?
Light repositioning (sliding, rotating) is included. Heavy lifting of assembled pieces to different floors is outside standard scope — mention it in the quote request and we'll advise.
How do I book a same-day or next-day appointment?
Text or call (403) 973-5123 directly for urgent bookings. For planned visits, the online quote form usually gets a same-day reply during business hours. Most furniture assembly spots are available within 1–2 days.
How much does furniture assembly cost in Calgary?
From $55 for small items (chairs, small shelves, stools), from $85 for medium items (bed frames, dressers, desks, bookshelves), and from $120 for large items (wardrobes, sectionals, entertainment units). Multi-item visits are quoted as a bundle. The exact price is confirmed before scheduling — no surprises on the day.
