Furniture Assembly near you in Ireland

Reputable assemblers and platforms offer a workmanship guarantee — commonly 30 days to 1 year — covering re-tightening, alignment, and errors. It does not cover material defects (retailer's problem) or damage from moving the item afterwards. Ask what the guarantee covers and how to claim before booking.

Move boxes to the room where the furniture will stand — carrying between floors costs time you pay for. Clear floor space roughly twice the item's footprint, check all boxes arrived (count against the label), and decide the exact placement including distance from walls for doors and drawers to open. Have the manual or product page link handy.

Both models exist. Per-item flat rates dominate for known flat-pack ranges (a bookcase, a bed frame, a PAX wardrobe each have a going rate), while hourly pricing suits mixed batches or unknown brands. For 3+ items, ask for a bundled per-visit quote — assemblers discount heavily once they are already on site.

A pro brings everything: cordless drill with torque control, full hex/pozi bit set, rubber mallet, level, stud/cable detector for wall anchoring, and appropriate wall plugs. If someone asks to borrow your tools or arrives without a cable detector but plans to drill, stop the wall-mounting part of the job.

Tipping is optional everywhere and uncommon outside North America. What you should expect to pay for: stair-carry of heavy boxes where there is no lift (agree upfront), paid parking where unavoidable, and disposal of packaging if you want it taken away. All of these should be named in the quote, not appear afterwards.

Most do, and for tall items you should insist on it: wardrobes, bookcases, and chests of drawers come with anti-tip straps or brackets that manufacturers require attaching to the wall. Confirm wall-anchoring is included in the quote and that the assembler checks wall type (drywall vs masonry vs concrete) — anchoring into concrete or tile may carry a drilling surcharge.

Dublin rates run €40-€60 per hour or €45-€90 per standard item, with large wardrobes at €130-€220. Outside Dublin expect similar item rates plus travel. IKEA's assembly partner offers fixed per-item pricing on Dublin-area deliveries.

Only if the assembler comes unprepared: many Irish houses have solid concrete-block internal walls needing hammer-drilling and masonry plugs, while newer builds use slab-on-stud. A pro carries both fixings; confirm before booking so the anchoring is not skipped on the day.
