Furniture Assembly in Calumpit

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.

Yes — disassembly typically costs 40-60% of the assembly price for the same item. Warn them about the item's age: old chipboard fittings weaken with each rebuild, and honest assemblers will tell you when a piece will not survive another cycle. Ask them to bag and label hardware per item.

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.

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.

Separate handyman hires run ₱500-₱1,500 per visit for one or two items, or ₱300-₱600 per hour. IKEA Pasay offers assembly service per item on delivered orders. Provincial rates are lower but assembler availability outside Metro Manila/Cebu is thin — retailer delivery-with-assembly is often the practical choice.

Most buildings require a work permit filed 1-2 days ahead, a gate pass listing the worker's name and ID, and sometimes a small permit fee or refundable deposit. Drilling is usually restricted to weekday daytime hours. Book the permit before the furniture delivery date.
