Furniture Assembly in Hell's Kitchen: questions answered

How much does furniture assembly cost in NYC?

Taskrabbit's published New York City rates run $47 to $56 an hour, with an average job invoice of $182 and most one- to two-hour jobs costing $47 to $94. IKEA's assembly service starts at $52 and is priced per item. Large pieces such as wardrobe systems are often quoted flat rather than by the hour.

How long does IKEA furniture assembly take?

Small pieces such as chairs and bedside tables take under an hour, bookcases and coffee tables one to two hours, desks and dressers one to four hours, and modular wardrobe or closet systems three to six hours or more. Stairs, tight rooms and missing hardware add time.

Does an assembler need a license in New York City?

No. Assembling freestanding furniture is not home improvement work under the city's contractor rules. Built-in closets, permanent shelving or any remodeling over $200 would need a Department of Consumer and Worker Protection home improvement contractor license, and your building may require the assembler to carry insurance.
