What affects the price of furniture assembly?

Most assembly services charge similar base rates, but a few real-world factors change the final number. Here is what to look at when comparing quotes.

Item complexity

A nightstand takes 30 minutes; a 3-door IKEA PAX with interior fittings takes 3+ hours. Complex modular furniture, beds with storage, and L-shaped desks cost more because they take more time and a second pair of hands.

Number of pieces

Assembling several items in one visit is cheaper per piece than scheduling separate jobs. Bundling 4+ items earns an automatic 10–15% discount.

Travel time

We are based in Harrison, NJ. Within 30 miles there is no travel fee. Beyond that we add a small distance surcharge ($20–$60). Jobs beyond 60 miles are individually quoted.

Stairs & access

Walk-ups in Hoboken and Jersey City brownstones add time. We charge $20 for 2 flights and $40 for 3+ flights of stairs.

IKEA assembly service in New Jersey
