Furniture assembly in Brooklyn

What this visit usually covers

• Beds, desks, bookcases, and cribs are the usual posts. Count the boxes.
• A tall bookcase or a dresser should be anchored if children can climb it. That needs a stud.
• Missing hardware stops the job. Check the pack before you post, or say the hardware is incomplete.
• Hauling away the cardboard is a separate ask. Put it in the request if you want it.

Getting into the building

Brooklyn jobs are usually in brownstones, row houses, and small apartment buildings. The boiler, panel, or outdoor unit is often in a cellar, a yard, or on a flat roof.

Say whether the cellar and the roof door belong to your unit, and include a photo of the stair from the street.

What to send with the request

• The product name or the instruction cover.
• The room where it will stand, including the wall for an anchor.
• The boxes, so the count is visible.

Assembly is not moving a household between boroughs and it is not rebuilding a broken antique unless you describe that repair.

A remote consult is separate

Fixt Virtual Fix is a video consult at $39 for 20 minutes. It can be booked from anywhere. It does not dispatch an on-site fixer. On-site furniture assembly work stays in New York ZIP codes 100–149.

What should a furniture assembly post in Brooklyn include?

The product name, the number of boxes, and the floor. A Brooklyn walk-up means the boxes are already upstairs or the bid has to include the carry. Say which.

Will a bookcase be anchored in Brooklyn?
