Assembly time is mostly about part count and drawers. A bookshelf is typically 1–1.5 hours; bed frames and desks 1–2 hours; dressers 1.5–2.5 hours (every drawer is its own mini-project); a full dining set 2–3 hours; wardrobes 2.5–3.5 hours, including leveling and wall anchoring. Times include unboxing, layout, assembly, tightening and alignment, and breaking the packaging down. The market range reflects typical per-piece pricing from assembly services and marketplaces in Southern California — per-piece pricing is exactly where booking by the hour wins, because a fast, experienced assembler isn't billing you for a learning curve.
Yes — flat-pack and boxed furniture from any retailer or brand, plus items that arrive partially assembled. If it came with an instruction booklet and a bag of hardware, it can be assembled. Just have the boxes in the room where the piece will live.
Tall pieces should be anchored — it's a tip-over safety issue, especially with kids in the house. Wall anchoring with the manufacturer's strap or a proper bracket is included in the assembly time estimate.
Cardboard and packing material get broken down and stacked neatly by your recycling bin as part of the job. Hauling it away entirely can be arranged — mention it in the booking form.
It's an estimate based on typical assembly times at a flat $60/hr (2-hour project minimum, $120). Tricky kits with hundreds of parts run to the top of the range. The booking form confirms your final flat quote before work starts, and that confirmed price is what you pay.
