What's Included With IKEA Furniture Assembly
Every IKEA category
Bedroom, kitchen, storage, and office lines, including PAX wardrobe systems and modular shelving.
Correct hardware every time
We check cam locks and dowels before final assembly so panels sit flush and drawers glide.
Tip-over anchoring included
Tall wardrobes and bookcases are secured to the wall using the included or equivalent anchor hardware.
IKEA Furniture Assembly
Built With the Right IKEA Hardware
IKEA pieces rely on eccentric cam locks, wooden dowels, and RTA (ready-to-assemble) panel construction rather than screws alone, so a misaligned cam lock or a skipped dowel can leave a cabinet racked or a drawer slide binding. We work from the same picture-based instructions IKEA ships, check panel orientation before locking anything down, and anchor tall wardrobes and bookcases to the wall per the manufacturer’s tip-over guidance.
Our Process
How IKEA Furniture Assembly Works
1
Confirm the item and box count
We match your IKEA product name and article number to the right hardware and build time.
2
Unbox and sort hardware
Panels, cam locks, and dowels are laid out and checked against the instruction sheet.
3
Build and square the frame
Panels are joined, locked, and checked for square before doors or drawers go in.
4
Level, anchor, and clean up
The finished piece is levelled, wall-anchored if required, and packaging is cleared away.
Good to Know Before Your IKEA Furniture Assembly Visit
We bring our own tools
Hex keys, cam-lock drivers, and a stud finder come with every visit, so you do not need to provide anything.
Packaging cleared away
Flat-pack boxes, foam, and offcuts are bagged and removed before we consider the job finished.
Confirmed flat rate
Your price is confirmed before we start, based on the item and box count, not an hourly guess.

Common Mistakes When Assembling IKEA Furniture Yourself
The most common DIY issues we see are cam locks tightened before the panel is fully seated, which can crack the particleboard, and dowels forced in at a slight angle, which throws off the whole panel alignment. Skipping the manual’s suggested build order is another frequent cause of a wardrobe or bed frame that will not quite square up by the final step.
IKEA furniture ships flat-pack with cam locks, wooden dowels, and hex-key hardware, and the instructions are picture-only, which makes it easy to miss a step on larger pieces like PAX wardrobes or BILLY bookcases.
Frequently asked questions
Do you assemble PAX wardrobe systems?
Yes, including sliding and hinged doors, interior shelving, and drawer inserts.
Will you anchor tall IKEA furniture to the wall?
Yes. We anchor every chest, dresser, wardrobe and bookcase with the tip-over hardware IKEA supplies, or equivalent hardware rated for your wall.
What if IKEA shipped a damaged or missing part?
We will flag it during assembly so you can request a replacement part from IKEA, and return to finish the job once it arrives.
Do I need to open the boxes before you arrive?
No. Our technician will unbox, sort, and organize hardware on site.
Do you keep the leftover hardware or packaging?
We remove all packaging and offcuts, and leave any genuine spare hardware with you in case you need it later.
