Furniture assembly questions, answered

The minimum charge for any visit is $75, which covers up to one hour on site. After that it is from $60 per hour. Most single items, such as a TV stand, a desk or a nightstand, fall inside the first hour. Larger pieces like wardrobes, bunk beds and entertainment centres take longer. Prices include tax, and I give you a fixed quote before I start. See services and prices.

Call 226-542-5544, message on WhatsApp, email, or use the contact page. Tell me what needs assembling, the brand and model if you have it, and your community. A photo helps most. I reply by phone, WhatsApp or email with a fixed price.

Once you accept the quote, we agree a day and time and I confirm it by text or WhatsApp. I will ask for the address then, and a building access code if there is one.

Stephen Pantin, every time. Furniture Assembly Chatham is one person and nothing is subcontracted.

A nightstand or small TV stand is often under an hour. A dresser or desk is typically one to two hours. Wardrobes, bunk beds and entertainment centres can take three hours or more.
