Furniture Assembly Movers in Chicago

The standard kit is a power screwdriver, a set of hex keys and a mallet. For more complex constructions the movers carry additional wrenches and flat pry bars. Everything comes with the crew — you do not need to supply tools yourself.

The movers work with furniture of any complexity. IKEA pieces with cam-lock fittings come apart and go back together quickly because the hardware is standardized. The fasteners go into a bag labeled with the item name so nothing gets mixed up.

Mirrors on wardrobe doors are wrapped in stretch film and sealed with packing tape. Glass shelves and stained-glass inserts go into bubble wrap and then into separate boxes marked with a fragile label. The marks tell the crew to load those boxes upright and away from heavy items.

A typical bedroom set — a wardrobe, a bed frame and a desk — takes roughly thirty to forty minutes. The time depends on the number of pieces and whether the furniture has been assembled and disassembled before, because older cam locks tend to sit tighter.

The fold-out mechanism is tied down with cord for the ride so it does not spring open. At the new address the crew removes the cord, bolts the armrests and sides back on, and checks that the mechanism opens and folds properly.

Furniture work is priced flat per item or hourly, stated up front. A typical bedroom set with a wardrobe, a bed frame and a desk comes apart in thirty to forty minutes, and bunk beds in Naperville were rebuilt by two movers in about two hours.

Yes. Besides taking apart and rebuilding what you already own, the crew assembles new flat-pack furniture from IKEA, Wayfair and other stores with its own tools, then checks every door, drawer and mechanism before leaving.
