What to include in your furniture assembly project

Every furniture item

List each bed, desk, dresser, shelf, or cabinet with its model or instruction link. A product photo alone may not show the assembly steps or hardware involved.

Parts and starting condition

Say whether the boxes are unopened, complete, or partly assembled. Explain any missing hardware, damaged panels, or assembly that needs correcting.

Placement and anchoring

Specify where the finished furniture should go and whether the manufacturer calls for wall anchoring. Discuss the mounting surface and any rental permission before that work.

What affects the quote in Chicago?

Independent pros quote the actual work. Compare the scope as well as the price, including these details:

  • Number and complexity of the furniture models
  • Unopened versus partly assembled items
  • Carrying boxes and repositioning furniture
  • Wall anchoring and packaging removal

Posting is free. Pro responses and availability vary. Confirm materials, qualifications for the work, timing, and the complete price before hiring.

Prepare for the visit

  1. 1. Collect the product details

    Keep model numbers, instructions, and photos of the boxes together. Count identical items separately, such as four chairs or two bookcases.

  2. 2. Describe the carrying route

    In a walk-up, note the unit floor, stairs, and doorway sizes. State whether boxes are already inside and whether carrying them is part of the job.

  3. 3. Clear the assembly space

    Explain the space available in the final room. Agree on furniture movement, packaging removal, and placement before accepting the quote.

Example project description

Assemble one bed frame and a six-drawer dresser in my third-floor Chicago apartment. Both boxes are already in the bedroom, with instructions available. Please include positioning, manufacturer-specified dresser anchoring after checking the wall, and packaging cleanup.

Furniture assembly in Chicago: your questions

Can I request IKEA furniture assembly in Chicago?

Yes. Include the exact product names or model links, the number of items, and any anchoring or placement work. HandyConnect connects you with independent pros; confirm their experience with the models and agree on the scope.

Is moving the boxes upstairs included?

Only when you agree on that task. State the box count, approximate size, floor, and stair or elevator route. Discuss carrying separately from assembly so the price covers the work you expect.

Can someone finish a partly assembled dresser?

Post photos of its current condition and explain what is complete, any errors, and missing or damaged parts. An interested pro can discuss whether they can finish or correct it before you hire.
