Furniture Assembly in St. Louis, MO: IKEA, Wayfair, and Beyond, Done Fast

Furniture assembly in St. Louis, MO is the job that starts as 'I'll do it Saturday' and ends as a pile of parts in the living room three weeks later. Flat-pack furniture is designed to be buildable, not easy, and the instructions assume a level of patience most of us don't have on a Sunday. Here's what we assemble, how we keep it square and level, and why bundling a few pieces into one visit is cheaper than you'd guess.

What we assemble

• IKEA — dressers, beds, wardrobes, shelving, and PAX systems
• Wayfair and online retailers — desks, bookcases, bed frames
• Pottery Barn and West Elm — higher-end pieces needing careful handling
• Outdoor furniture and patio sets
• Sheds and above-ground pool frames
• Dismantling of old furniture for a move or disposal

Full scope on our mounting and assembly page.

Building it square and level

The difference between a dresser that glides and one that sticks the drawer is assembly sequence and final leveling. We follow the instruction order, but we also check squareness as we go — a slightly out-of-square frame causes sticking doors and drawers for the life of the piece. We level dressers and bookcases to the floor and shim where the floor isn't flat, which is common in older St. Louis homes.

Anchoring tall pieces for safety

Dressers and bookcases over a certain height should be anchored to the wall — it's a safety standard, not an option. We anchor using the right hardware for your wall type (stud, masonry, or the proper drywall anchor) and we don't skip it. If you have small children, ask us to anchor every tall piece in the room.

Disassembly for moves

We also disassemble furniture for moves — carefully, so it reassembles at the other end. Labeling hardware bags, protecting finishes, and keeping the parts together is the part most people lose. We bring the bags and the tape.
