Furniture assemblyin Las Vegas.

Furniture assembly in Las Vegas usually means flat-pack: beds, dressers, bookcases, desks and wardrobes from IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon and big-box stores. The instructions assume two people, the right tools and a free afternoon. We bring the tools, build it square, and check that drawers slide and doors close evenly.

Some pieces take more than a screwdriver. Wall beds (Murphy beds), large wardrobes and bunk beds need careful leveling and, in most cases, anchoring into studs. Cribs are built exactly to the manufacturer's instructions with every part they supply, and nothing is modified.

Office furniture is its own category: L-shaped desks, standing desks with motors and cable trays, filing cabinets and shelving for a home office. We route the cables so the desk can move up and down without pulling a plug.

Tall dressers, bookcases and TV stands can tip over when a child pulls out a drawer or climbs. Many new pieces ship with an anti-tip kit, and it only works if it is anchored properly. We fasten it into a stud, or use a stronger strap if the included hardware is flimsy.

Where a stud is not available, we use drywall anchors rated for the load. Interior walls in most Las Vegas homes are drywall over wood studs, which makes anchoring quick. If you rent, ask your landlord first; the holes are small and easy to patch when you move out.

We also anchor pieces that are already in the house. Tall bookcases, older dressers and TV stands that were never strapped can be done in the same visit.

Outdoor dining sets, sectionals and loungers get built where they will live, usually on the patio. In summer, patio assembly goes best early in the day, since metal frames sitting in afternoon sun get too hot to handle. Plan a way to weigh down umbrellas and light chairs too, because monsoon storms bring strong gusts.

Price depends on the number of pieces, their size and complexity, and whether anything needs wall anchoring. A simple nightstand and a full bedroom set are very different jobs. The fastest way to a quote is a list of items with links or model numbers; we reply with a written flat quote.

Assembly is a good time to handle small jobs nearby, like hanging a mirror over the new dresser or mounting shelves in the office. Add them to the same request so everything is priced together. We clean up the work area when we finish.
