How much does furniture assembly REALLY cost?

January 19, 2020

A Step By Step Guide

Choosing the furniture in a store, we don’t think about how we are going to assemble it. Well, you should have. Sometimes, it’s so hard to put together two pieces of your new IKEA chair. However, after hiring a professional for office furniture installation, some people are assured that they have overpaid for additional work - it would be easier and cheaper to assemble it by themselves.

So, is it beneficial to assemble or disassemble furniture without the help of the professionals in this sphere? We're going to figure this out! Let’s consider all the tools and consumables that you may need during the work. Moreover, we are going to count all the expenses for buying this necessary equipment.

How much does it cost to assemble furniture by yourself ?

The First Step

It is vital to clear not only the place where the furniture will be standing but also the area where you are going to assemble it. The place that will be involved in the assembly of furniture should be covered with cardboard, or preferably with a hardboard panel. Of course, you can use ordinary packing cardboard. However, it may not be enough, and only the solid hardboard panel can protect the floor from chipped spots in case of the fall of massive parts of the furniture.

During the process of assembling, don’t forget to put on special work gloves ($17.95). For delicate work, you need thinner gloves. Thick ones are better if more protection is required although they do limit your dexterity.

Here are some features of the gloves for assembly or installation:

They must be thin enough for you to feel small items like screws, nuts, etc.
Laceration resistant gloves will protect you from sharp edges and cuts
Anti-slip grip gloves are perfect for any tool used for assembly that requires handling slippery surfaces.

P.S. A tool bag with numerous pockets helps to organize your tools. It should include some heavy-duty handles to help you keep your grip as you move. Don’t forget about a mask, because the assembly process is always dusty.
