How long does a dresser take?

One to two hours for a six drawer flat pack. Beds with drawers and wardrobes run longer, and the price names the visit, not the hours.

Do you assemble outdoor furniture and grills?

Yes. Grills with a gas line hookup go to the plumber for the connection.

What if a part is missing?

We stop, photograph the bag and the parts list, and you call the maker for the part. We come back for a short visit to finish, priced ahead.

Furniture assembly cost in Maryland

Furniture assembly in Maryland lands between $100 and $300 for the visit. A single bookcase or TV stand sits at the low end. A dresser plus a bed frame plus a desk fills the afternoon and sits at the high end. Anchoring tall pieces to the wall is included, because a dresser that tips is a dresser we did not finish.
