Furniture & Equipment Assembly

Furniture and equipment assembly is the residential trade that builds flat-pack furniture, IKEA PAX, office and gym equipment, trampolines, playsets, grills, sheds, basketball hoops, and closet systems on site — from $120 for a single nightstand to $1,800 for a full shed. A stack of brown boxes from IKEA in the dining room, a Peloton still on the pallet in the garage, a trampoline that was supposed to be up before the kid's birthday, and a shed kit that came with 400 parts in 9 bundles — this is the work that eats every spare weekend in a house and ends with one stripped cam lock, one missing bolt, and a piece that does not sit square. Handis sends a vetted tech with the right hex drivers, the right level, and the right patience for hundred-step instructions — nine assembly families covered in one truck.

Pricing

Furniture & Equipment Assembly Pricing

Final pricing depends on the number of pieces, the complexity of the system, and whether the equipment is connected (Peloton, Tonal) or requires a ballasted footing (basketball hoop). Each family page below lists detailed pricing. Multi-piece visits are cheaper per piece than booking each item separately.

Why Hire a Professional for Furniture & Equipment Assembly?

Most assembly calls fail the same way — the tech shows up with a drill and good intentions, then finds out the PAX system needs the wall-anchor screws set BEFORE the doors get hung, the Peloton bike needs the cleats torqued to a specific Nm before the user account pairs, and the Goalrilla in the driveway needed a 48-inch footing instead of the 36-inch hole someone already dug. After hundreds of mixed-equipment assemblies across Seattle living rooms, garages, and yards, every one of those gaps has a fix in the truck — and a question on the booking call that catches it before the appointment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about furniture and equipment assembly — pricing, brands, scheduling, and what we handle.

How much does furniture and equipment assembly cost?
Flat-pack furniture starts at $120 per piece. Office furniture starts at $150. Grill assembly (non-gas hookup) starts at $150. Gym equipment starts at $200. IKEA PAX wardrobe systems start at $250 per frame. Portable basketball hoops start at $250 (in-ground higher with the concrete footing). Trampolines and playsets start at $300. Pre-fab shed kits start at $600 for the smallest unit and run up to $1,800 for a large kit with full weatherproofing. Multi-piece visits are cheaper per piece than booking each item separately.
What brands and retailers do you cover?
Any brand that ships in a box with instructions. IKEA (every line — PAX, MALM, HEMNES, KALLAX, BILLY, GODMORGON), Wayfair, Article, West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, CB2, Target, Costco, Amazon, Burrow, Floyd, Joybird. For gym equipment we cover Peloton (Bike, Bike+, Tread, Row), Tonal, NordicTrack, Bowflex, Echelon, Rogue, Sole, Hydrow, ProForm, and Schwinn. For grills we cover Weber, Traeger, Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Napoleon, Char-Broil, and Blackstone. Tell us the brand and model on the booking call.
Can I schedule multiple pieces across different families in one visit?
Yes — and this is the cheapest way to run the work. A typical multi-family visit closes a Peloton, two PAX frames, a standing desk, and a flat-pack dresser in four to five hours with one truck and one trip charge. List everything on the booking call with rough sizes and brands, and the truck arrives loaded for the actual list. Per-piece cost drops as the visit gets longer.
Do you anchor tall furniture to the wall?
Yes. Bookshelves, dressers, wardrobes, and the full IKEA PAX system get anchored with metal L-brackets into wood studs as part of the assembly. The plastic strap kits that ship in the box are specifically warned against by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission — they snap, they pull through drywall, and they fail when the furniture is loaded with weight. We do not use them. For plaster, metal stud, hollow block, or concrete walls we swap in longer-shank toggles or masonry sleeves on arrival.
Do you connect Peloton, Tonal, and other connected equipment to WiFi?
Yes. Connected equipment is half mechanical assembly and half digital setup — and a Peloton or a Tonal that is not paired to your account, your WiFi, and your subscription is not actually ready to use. We pair the unit, log into the user account (we ask you to enter the password directly so credentials never leave your hands), run the calibration ride or session if the model needs one, and confirm the first set of metrics tracks correctly. You start your first workout the same day.
What about gas-grill hookup?
We handle the full mechanical assembly of every grill — Weber, Traeger, Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Napoleon — and we connect a propane regulator to a propane tank that is already on site. Anything involving a natural-gas line — running a new line, tying into an existing outdoor stub, swapping a regulator on a fixed gas line — routes to a licensed Washington L&I contractor. Gas work without an L&I license is illegal in Washington, and we tell you that upfront on the booking call.
Do you level the ground for a trampoline, playset, or shed?
We level the structure itself and can shim a small footprint or trim a few inches of grade. Significant grading or a poured-concrete pad is a separate site-prep job that routes to a landscaping or concrete contractor. We walk the site on arrival and tell you before any assembly starts if the slope is too steep — assembling on an unlevel base sets up a fall hazard on a playset and a tipping hazard on a shed.
How long does a typical assembly appointment take?
A single flat-pack dresser runs 60 to 90 minutes. A standing desk takes 90 minutes to two hours. A Peloton Bike takes 60 to 90 minutes with WiFi pairing. A single IKEA PAX frame takes 90 minutes; a three-frame system with sliding doors and KOMPLEMENT interiors runs four to six hours. A trampoline takes two to four hours. A 10x12 shed kit takes a full day with two techs. A Goalrilla in-ground hoop is split across two visits — the footing on day one, the pole and backboard after the concrete cures (48 to 72 hours).
What if a part is missing or damaged?
We inventory every bag of hardware and every panel before assembly starts. If a cam lock, a shelf pin, a spring, a wall-anchor screw, or a major panel is missing or damaged, we stop and tell you before continuing. In most cases we can keep building around the missing part and return to finish once the manufacturer ships the replacement — no extra trip charge for the follow-up visit if the missing-part report happened on the original appointment.
Are the trampolines and playsets you assemble safe for kids?
We follow ASTM safety guidelines on every play structure — six feet of open clearance on all sides of a playset, the manufacturer-specified ground stake or auger anchor pattern, the safety net installed and tested, every spring on a trampoline seated and verified for even tension, and a weight test on every swing and ladder rung before we leave. The bigger safety driver is supervision and a soft ground surface (mulch or rubber tiles to the depth the playset manufacturer specifies) — we tell you on arrival if the ground prep is short.
Is the assembly work guaranteed?
Yes. Every Handis tech is background-checked, insured, and on the hook for a 30-day workmanship guarantee. If a joint loosens, a cam lock backs out, an anti-tip anchor pulls, a sliding door drifts off the PAX rail, a Peloton calibration shifts, or a trampoline spring works free within 30 days because of our workmanship, we come back and re-secure it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers our work — it does not cover damage from overloading past a rated weight, defective parts from the manufacturer, weather damage on outdoor units, or modifications made after we left. We will tell you on arrival if we see anything that looks like a future problem.
