IKEA hauls, Wayfair boxes, desks, beds, and PAX wardrobe walls — assembled right the first time, anchored for earthquake country, packaging broken down when we leave.
List the pieces (or paste product links) and we'll quote the whole batch. We reply within 24 hours.
PAX and other wardrobes, MALM and other beds, KALLAX shelving, dressers, and everything else from the blue store down the road in Emeryville.
Platform beds, bunk beds, and cribs — bolted tight so they don't creak, with hardware checked twice.
Standing desks, office chairs, and monitor arms for the WFH corner.
Bookcases and storage systems built level on Berkeley's not-always-level floors.
Tall units strapped into studs — the Bay Area lives on faults, and furniture anchoring is cheap insurance, especially with kids around.
Boxes flattened and gone as an optional add-on, so your recycling bin survives the week.
Half the East Bay's flat-pack furniture comes out of IKEA Emeryville, and a lot of it ends up in Berkeley apartments, Elmwood flats, and student housing near campus. We're based in Oakland, minutes away — which means same-week scheduling most of the year, and fast turnarounds in August and September when the moving trucks line the streets around Cal and every bed frame in town needs building the same weekend.
We assemble across Berkeley — Southside, Elmwood, North Berkeley, Westbrae — plus Albany, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Oakland, and Alameda. Multiple pieces in one visit is the efficient way to do it: the whole delivery built, anchored, and the cardboard gone by dinner.
Furniture's built but the TV's still on the floor? We do TV mounting too, and plenty more while the tools are out.
Item names, product links, or a photo of the box pile — whatever's easiest.
Fixed price for the whole visit, cheaper per piece than one-at-a-time.
Square, tight, strapped to the wall where it matters, packaging flattened.
It depends on the piece — a nightstand is quick, a PAX wardrobe wall is a half-day. Send the item names or links (or a photo of the boxes) and we'll quote the whole batch upfront. Estimates are free, and assembling several pieces in one visit costs less per item.
Yes, and in the Bay Area we strongly recommend it. Tall bookcases, wardrobes, and dressers should be strapped to the wall for earthquake and tip-over safety — especially in homes with kids. Anchoring into a stud is included when you ask for it.
Yes — Wayfair, Amazon, Target, West Elm, office furniture, gym equipment, cribs, and anything else flat-packed. If it comes with an instruction booklet and a bag of hardware, we build it.
A single PAX frame with doors and interior fittings typically takes a few hours; multi-frame walls with sliding doors take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate with the quote, and we always anchor PAX to the wall — IKEA requires it, and so do Bay Area earthquakes.
We break down all boxes and packaging and can haul them away as an add-on — just mention it when you book so we plan the space in the truck.
Mounted level with cables concealed — same visit works.
