Assembly That Works in the Room

Putting furniture together is only part of the project.

A wardrobe still needs to stand level. Cabinet sections need consistent lines. Drawers and doors need to operate without rubbing. A floating console needs to be mounted to an appropriate wall structure. Tall furniture may need to be secured. Several pieces may need to align as one installation.

Our Guys consider the furniture, room, wall construction, surrounding finishes and intended use before calling the project complete.

Furniture Brands We Work With
Our Guys assemble and install furniture from mass-market retailers, contemporary home brands, office-furniture manufacturers and premium design companies.
Brands we regularly work with or can service include:
IKEA • Wayfair • West Elm • CB2 • RH • Pottery Barn • Ralph Lauren Home • Zara Home • Design Within Reach • Article • Crate & Barrel • Room & Board • Herman Miller • USM • B&B Italia • Roche Bobois • Poliform • Molteni&C • and other furniture and design brands
We provide independent assembly and installation services and are not affiliated with the manufacturers or retailers listed above.
For designer, custom or unusually complex furniture, send the product link, manufacturer, model and installation documentation before the appointment.
IKEA Furniture Assembly in Manhattan
Our Guys assemble individual IKEA products and larger modular installations, including:

PAX wardrobes
BESTÅ storage systems
BILLY bookcases
KALLAX shelving
MALM and HEMNES furniture
Desks and office systems
Kitchen and pantry cabinets
Bathroom storage
Children’s furniture
Connected modular systems

For a larger PAX, BESTÅ, kitchen or multi-room project, send the design plan, product list, room photographs and delivery information in advance. We can then determine the crew, estimated time and whether the project should receive a fixed price.
Wayfair Furniture Assembly in Manhattan
Wayfair furniture can range from one compact cabinet to a large multi-box product, outdoor structure or complete room setup.
Our Guys can check the delivered components, assemble the product, position it, make final adjustments and secure it when required.
If parts are missing or damaged, we can document the issue and help identify what the retailer or manufacturer needs to replace.
Ralph Lauren Home, Zara Home & Designer Furniture
We work with Ralph Lauren Home, Zara Home and other furniture selected for carefully finished interiors.
Premium service is not about making the installation dramatic. It is about handling the product properly, protecting the property, keeping the work area organized and finishing the details without creating additional work for the client.
Floors, stone, glass, millwork, artwork and surrounding furniture are protected as part of the installation environment.
Whether the product costs $200 or $20,000, it should be assembled correctly and look right in the room.
Closet & Wardrobe Installation
Closets and wardrobes require precise leveling, alignment and adjustment, particularly when multiple modules form one continuous system.
Our Guys can assemble and install:

Modular wardrobes
Walk-in closet systems
Shelves and drawer modules
Clothing rails
Interior organizers
Shoe storage
Wardrobe doors and hinges
Integrated accessories and lighting

Manhattan floors and walls are not always perfectly straight. Each section may therefore need individual adjustment before the complete installation aligns properly.
Large closet installations are typically reviewed and quoted as complete projects.
Kitchen Cabinets, Built-Ins & Modular Furniture
Kitchen cabinets and built-in furniture sit between conventional furniture assembly and finish installation.
These projects may include:

Reviewing plans and product documentation
Confirming measurements and access
Coordinating delivery
Assembling cabinet boxes and modules
Positioning and leveling
Joining adjacent sections
Securing the installation
Aligning doors and drawers
Installing interior accessories
Completing a final punch list

Because small discrepancies become highly visible across a row of cabinets, kitchens, built-ins and multi-module installations are generally priced as complete projects rather than ordinary hourly assembly.
Wall-Mounted Furniture & Anti-Tip Anchoring
Floating consoles, suspended cabinets and tall storage systems require an installation method appropriate for the furniture, wall construction, weight, intended load and manufacturer instructions.
Our Guys can assemble the furniture and complete appropriate mounting or anti-tip anchoring as part of the same visit.
The wall may be drywall, plaster, masonry, concrete or another finished surface. Suitable hardware is selected after evaluating the installation location and project requirements.
Correcting Improperly Assembled Furniture
Furniture that has already been assembled may still be repairable when:

Doors do not align
Drawers bind or will not close
The unit rocks or leans
Panels were installed incorrectly
Hardware is missing or loose
Modules do not line up
Shelves are not level
The furniture was not properly secured

Our Guys can inspect the piece, disassemble the affected area when appropriate, correct the assembly and make final adjustments.
If structural components have already been damaged, we will explain what can reasonably be repaired and which parts may need replacement.
Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly
Large furniture does not always fit through Manhattan doorways, elevators, staircases or hallways while assembled.
We can disassemble suitable furniture and reassemble it in another room, apartment or approved project location.
This can be useful during:

Apartment moves
Renovations
Floor refinishing
Room changes
Office reconfigurations
Retail resets
Property staging

We do not provide moving trucks or general transportation services. When furniture is being moved to another address, transportation must be arranged separately unless specifically included in an approved project estimate.
Complete Apartment & Move-In Furniture Installation
A newly furnished Manhattan property may receive products from several retailers across several delivery dates.
Instead of scheduling an unrelated assembler for every box, our team can work through the complete property and coordinate:

Furniture assembly
Placement by room
Wardrobes and closets
Cabinetry
Wall-mounted furniture
Home office setup
Fitness equipment
Terrace furniture
Appropriate mounting and installation work
Final adjustments and punch-list items

This service is useful for new residences, pied-à-terre properties, furnished rentals, model apartments, staging projects and homes being prepared before the owner arrives.
Commercial Furniture Assembly in Manhattan
Commercial furniture installation accounts for a major part of our work.
An office, store or showroom is not a collection of unrelated boxes. It is an operating space with a schedule, floor plan, access requirements and completion deadline.
Our Guys handle individual commercial furniture tasks, office reconfigurations, retail installations and larger multi-room projects throughout Manhattan.
Office Furniture Assembly
We assemble and install:

Individual and executive desks
Multiple workstations
Conference tables
Meeting-room furniture
Reception desks and seating
Filing and storage systems
Bookcases and shelving
Break-room furniture
Employee lockers
Modular office systems
Monitor arms and related accessories
Furniture for private offices and common areas

We can complete installations by room, department or project phase. When necessary, multiple Guys can work together so the office is ready by the required date.
Office Reconfiguration
Existing furniture does not always need to be replaced when the office layout changes.
Our Guys can disassemble, relocate within the property, reconfigure and reassemble suitable desks, tables, shelving, cabinets and modular systems.
This service can support:

Employee moves
Department changes
New office layouts
Conference-room updates
Expansion into additional rooms
Temporary project spaces
Return-to-office preparation

Retail Furniture & Display Installation
Retail furniture must support merchandising, customer flow and daily operation.
Our retail furniture services can include:

Display tables
Freestanding display units
Shelving and storage
Merchandising furniture
Checkout and service-area furniture
Fitting-room furniture and accessories
Back-of-house storage
Employee-area furniture
Seasonal setups
Store resets and reconfigurations
Appropriate wall-attached display components

Opening dates, merchandising changes and seasonal resets often require work within a limited time window. We can coordinate flexible scheduling, additional Guys and phased installation when the scope and building rules allow.
Showrooms, Studios & Professional Spaces
We assemble furniture for showrooms, design studios, creative offices, clinics, professional practices, model residences and other customer-facing spaces.
Our team can work from floor plans, placement drawings, product lists and instructions supplied by an owner, designer, project manager, office manager or authorized representative.
The work can include assembly, placement, consistent alignment, adjustment, wall anchoring and final punch-list corrections.
Large Commercial Installations
Larger projects may involve dozens of items, several rooms or multiple installation phases.
Depending on the scope, our commercial furniture service can include:

Pre-project review
Crew and schedule planning
Coordination with building management
COI documentation
Service-entrance and freight-elevator coordination
Delivery and visible inventory review
Multiple Guys on site
Assembly by room or phase
Placement according to plans
Leveling and adjustment
Appropriate wall anchoring
Packaging breakdown
Final punch-list service

The complete installation can be managed as one project with one point of contact.
Building Access, Insurance & COI
Our Guys are insured, and a Certificate of Insurance can be provided when required by building management.
We are familiar with Manhattan building procedures, including:

Doorman coordination
Service entrances
Freight-elevator reservations
Loading and delivery windows
Building work hours
Management approval
COI requirements
Protection of finished common areas

Send the building’s COI sample and access instructions before the appointment whenever possible.
You Do Not Need to Be Home
With authorized access, furniture assembly and installation can be coordinated through:
Building management • Property managers • Doormen • Personal assistants • Household staff • Office managers • Retail managers • Interior designers • Other authorized representatives
The client provides the project information and access authorization.
The Guys handle the installation.
The home or business is ready when the client returns.
Delivery, Missing Parts & Material Pickup
Furniture deliveries do not always arrive complete.
Boxes may be damaged, hardware may be missing, or the included wall anchors may not be appropriate for the installation surface.
Depending on the project, our Guys can:

Review delivered boxes and visible components
Check product quantities
Document damaged or missing parts
Help identify required replacement hardware
Communicate the necessary information to a retailer or manufacturer
Purchase appropriate fasteners, anchors and minor materials
Pick up necessary hardware or supplies

Purchased materials, replacement parts and product components are billed separately from labor.
Packaging, Cleanup & Disposal
Our Guys keep the assembly area organized, break down packaging and take boxes and packing materials to the client’s designated building dumpster or disposal area when requested.
If old furniture, packaging or other material needs to be transported to a junkyard or off-site disposal facility, that service requires separate arrangements and an additional charge.
We leave the furniture ready to use and the space ready to live or work in.
Flexible Scheduling
Furniture delivery, business schedules and building rules do not always align conveniently.
Our service is flexible by design.
Depending on availability and property requirements, furniture assembly can be scheduled for:

Same-day service
Early mornings
Evenings
Weekends
Business off-hours
A specific time before an owner or guest arrives
A commercial completion or opening deadline

Tell us what needs to be ready and when it needs to be ready.
We will build the appointment or project around the actual requirement.

Experienced Individually. Stronger Together.
Every Guy brings between three and five years of experience developed through independent work on Taskrabbit, Thumbtack and Angi.
They built five-star profiles one project at a time before joining one team.
That experience matters when a project grows from one item into several rooms, multiple skills or a commercial installation requiring several Guys.
One piece or an entire property.
One message. One team. Consider it done.
