Handy Bross : Expert IKEA Furniture Assembly Services in Boston

We Turn Flat-Pack Boxes into Functional Furniture

We all love the sleek design and affordability of IKEA furniture. But the journey from the showroom to your living room often hits a roadblock: The Assembly. Staring at a mountain of cardboard, a bag of confusing plastic dowels, and a manual with no words is enough to ruin anyone's weekend.

Put down the Allen wrench and stop the frustration.

Handy Bross is the premier IKEA assembly service serving the entire Greater Boston area. Whether you are outfitting a student apartment in Allston, setting up a nursery in Roslindale, or installing a massive wardrobe system in a Woburn master bedroom, we speak the language of "flat-pack." We have assembled thousands of IKEA pieces, transforming chaotic boxes into sturdy, beautiful furniture efficiently and correctly.

Comprehensive IKEA Assembly Expertise

IKEA furniture requires specific techniques to ensure longevity. We know the quirks of every popular series.

1. PAX Wardrobe Systems (The Heavyweights)

PAX wardrobes are fantastic but notoriously difficult to build, especially in older Boston homes with uneven floors or low ceilings.

• Vertical Building: In tight spaces like North End apartments, we know how to build frames upright to avoid getting stuck against the ceiling.

• Internal Organizers: We meticulously install drawers, Komplement trays, and sliding doors so they function smoothly and align perfectly.

2. Bedroom Furniture (Hemnes, Malm, Brimnes)

From Somerville to Framingham, these are our most requested items.

• Bed Frames: We secure the slats and center beams correctly to prevent the dreaded "IKEA squeak."

• Dressers: We align the drawer runners with precision so your Malm or Hemnes drawers glide effortlessly and sit flush.

3. Living Room & Storage (Bestå, Kallax, Billy)

Creating a media center in South Boston or a library in Newton?

• Wall Mounting: Units like Bestå often need to be mounted to the wall. We use heavy-duty toggle anchors (not just the basic plastic ones provided) to ensure they are secure on drywall or plaster.

• Door Adjustment: We spend the extra time adjusting hinges on Bestå and Billy units so the gaps are even and the doors hang straight.

4. Tables & Chairs (Ingatorp, Norden, Ekedalen)

• Stability: We use professional torque drivers to tighten legs and supports, ensuring your dining table is rock-solid for family meals in Woburn or Hyde Park.

The Local Advantage: Tailored to Your Home

Assembling IKEA furniture in Massachusetts is different than in a suburban showroom.

• Tight Stairwells (Beacon Hill & Charlestown): Getting 8-foot PAX boxes up a winding staircase requires planning. We know how to maneuver large packages safely without damaging your historic walls.

• Uneven Floors (Dorchester & Roxbury): IKEA furniture is designed for perfectly flat floors. Boston floors are rarely flat. We use shims and leveling feet to ensure your wardrobes and bookcases stand straight and don't lean away from the wall.

• Student Move-Ins (Cambridge & Brighton): We know the urgency of the academic calendar. We help students and parents get desks, beds, and shelving set up quickly for the new semester.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do you assemble the IKEA PAX wardrobes?

A: Yes, we are PAX specialists. This is one of the most complex IKEA products. We handle the frame assembly, interior organizers (drawers, shelves), and the complex sliding door mechanisms. Note: Please ensure your ceiling height allows for the unit to be stood up (we can advise on this).

Q: Which specific areas do you serve?

A: We cover the entire Greater Boston area. Our service map includes Boston, Newton, Woburn, Waltham, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and Allston.

Q: Do you pick up the furniture from IKEA?

A: Currently, we focus on the assembly service at your home. You must have the furniture delivered or pick it up beforehand.

Q: Do you anchor the furniture to the wall?

A: Absolutely. IKEA furniture (especially dressers and bookcases) must be anchored to prevent tipping. We carry professional anchors for Boston's specific wall types (plaster, brick, drywall) to ensure safety.

Q: Do you take the cardboard boxes away?

A: We break down all cardboard boxes flat and stack them neatly in your designated trash or recycling area. If you require us to haul the trash away from the property entirely, we can arrange that for an additional disposal fee.
