IKEA furniture assembly
Updated 2026-10-10
You came back from IKEA with flat boxes, wordless instructions, and hundreds of screws. In D-Bell you book a handyman who assembles the furniture at your home, and get quotes before you choose.
How much does IKEA assembly cost?
Assembling IKEA furniture usually costs ILS 150 to 300 per hour. A small dresser takes about an hour, and a large wardrobe with sliding doors can take several. Anchoring to the wall costs ILS 150 to 300 per item. These are average D-Bell catalog ranges.
What gets assembled?
- Wardrobes, including sliding doors and inner drawers.
- Beds, bunk beds, and storage beds.
- Dressers, bookcases, tables, and chairs.
- TV units, wall shelves, and bathroom cabinets.
What should I prepare?
Leave the boxes closed in the room where the furniture will stand, and clear floor space. List the product names in the request or attach the receipt, so the handyman knows how long it will take. Photograph what needs fixing and send it in the request. That way the handyman knows what to bring and can quote without visiting first.
Why anchor to the wall?
A tall wardrobe or a dresser with drawers can tip forward, especially when children climb or several drawers open at once. Most tall pieces come with an anchoring kit, and it is worth asking the handyman to fit it.
How is it done properly?
- Count the parts against the hardware list in the instructions before starting.
- Assemble in the maker’s step order.
- Drive screws at a low torque setting so the board is not damaged.
- Anchor wardrobes and dressers to the wall with the kit in the box.
- Align doors and drawers.
