What moves the price
- Complexity of the item — a wardrobe with sliding doors has far more parts than a bedside table, so it takes longer to assemble.
- Number of items — assembling several pieces on the same visit spreads the call-out and can lower the price per item.
- Any special requirements — fixing a wardrobe to the wall or moving furniture after assembly adds time.
- Office furniture setup — fitting several desks and shelving units is priced as a larger job than assembling home furniture.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical flat-pack assembly would have cost about €55 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Having several flat-pack items assembled on the same visit can lower the price per item.
- Unpacking the boxes and clearing away packaging yourself can save some of the assembler's time.
- Moving the flat-pack boxes into the room where the furniture will stand saves the assembler carrying time.
- Choosing a simpler furniture design with fewer parts, where it suits you, keeps the assembly time and cost lower.
- Checking all the parts are in the box before the visit avoids paying for a wasted trip if pieces are missing.
Before you book
- The flat-pack item to be assembled, including all components and instructions.
- Access to the assembly area, ensuring there is enough space to work.
- Basic tools if not provided by the assembler, such as screwdrivers or hammers.
- Any specific requirements or preferences for the assembly, such as placement in the room.
- You can mention very heavy or bulky flat-pack items, so the assembler can plan safe lifting and bring a second pair of hands.
