Furniture assembly in Washington Heights

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

Washington Heights is prewar apartments on steep blocks. The super usually controls the basement and the roof door.

Ask the super about the basement and the roof before you post, and write down the floor number.

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.
