What moves the price
- Complexity of the items — a wardrobe or bunk bed with many parts takes far longer than a simple bookcase.
- Flat-pack or bespoke — custom furniture may come without standard instructions, so assembly takes longer to work out.
- Ease of access — carrying boxes up stairs or into a tight room adds time before the furniture assembly starts.
- Multi-piece sets — a bedroom or office set has many items, though doing them on the same visit can lower the price per item.
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 furniture 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 items assembled on the same visit can work out cheaper per item than separate bookings.
- Moving the boxes into the right room and clearing the floor before the visit saves the assembler's time.
- Taking away the packaging yourself can avoid a charge for removing it, if the assembler would otherwise add one.
- Assembling simple items such as a bedside table yourself, and booking the assembler for the larger pieces, keeps the cost down.
- Counting the fixings against the instructions before the visit helps avoid a wasted trip if parts are missing.
Before you book
- Access to the area where the furniture will be assembled.
- Any additional tools that may be required for specific items.
- A clear idea of the desired layout for the assembled furniture.
- Check whether the assembler has put together your type of furniture before, such as bespoke pieces or office desks.
- You can ask whether the assembler is insured, in case a piece of furniture or your walls are damaged during the work.
- Agree whether wall-fixing, moving the furniture into place and removing packaging are included in the price.
