Furniture Assembly in Madison, WI
Flat-pack and boxed furniture put together right — beds, desks, shelving, and storage assembled to spec and anchored where it matters.
A box full of parts and a bag of hardware is the start of a lot of household projects — and the end of a lot of free evenings. We assemble flat-pack and boxed furniture the way the instructions intend, with hardware sorted and torque set so the piece goes together square and stays that way. Beds, desks, shelving, dressers, tables, and storage units all fall under this work, and tall pieces get anchored to the wall for stability where it makes sense.
The difference between a piece assembled carefully and one rushed together shows up a few months in — doors that drift, shelves that sag, hardware that loosens. We take the time on the build so it holds up, and we clean up the cardboard and packaging when we're done.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of furniture do you assemble?+
Flat-pack and boxed furniture is the bulk of the work — beds, desks, shelving units, dressers, tables, and storage pieces. If it arrived in a box with a bag of hardware and an instruction booklet, we can put it together.
Can you assemble large items like beds and shelving?+
Yes. Beds, wardrobes, tall shelving, and desks are common. We assemble the piece to the instructions, level shelving, and anchor tall units to the wall where it makes sense for stability.
Do you anchor tall furniture to the wall?+
Yes. Tall shelving and wardrobes get anchored to the wall for stability, especially in homes with children or pets. We locate the studs and secure the anchor so the piece stays upright.
What if parts are missing or the box is damaged?+
Tell us up front if the box arrived damaged or parts seem missing and we'll talk through how to handle it before we start. We work best from complete, intact kits.
How is furniture assembly estimated?+
Most assembly jobs can be estimated from a description of the piece and the number of boxes. Send the item name or a photo and we can usually give you an initial estimate by phone or email.
