The first risk is losing the manufacturer's warranty. IKEA, for example, requires assembly according to instructions for the warranty to be valid. If the furniture breaks due to incorrect assembly, it's not covered. We've seen wardrobes collapse a month after assembly because screws were inserted incorrectly or not all planned screws were used. Yes, this is a mandatory first step. If a part is missing, we stop and help you process the replacement with the store before continuing. It depends on the model and complexity. A simple bookshelf is more economical than a three-section wardrobe. We provide a fixed quote after we know what furniture is involved.

The second risk is damage to the wall. Anchoring a tall wardrobe to the wall without appropriate fixings for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile), specific fixings exist. Using the same generic fixing for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall down weeks later. There's a category of household jobs that aren't strictly plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry. These are the things that have been on the to-do list for months and could be resolved in an afternoon if you had the right tools and inclination. The picture that needs hanging. The door that sticks. The IKEA furniture that arrived two months ago and is still in its box. The upstairs bathroom tap that drips, but not enough to call a plumber just yet. Adjustment of doors and windows. Building movement, temperature changes, and humidity can cause doors to snag on the frame, windows not to close properly, or blinds to get stuck. Often, the solution is a hinge adjustment or a quick sanding, a job of less than an hour.

A standard IKEA Billy bookcase takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with interior drawers, 90 minutes to 2 hours. A double bed with a slatted base, 60-90 minutes. An extendable dining table with chairs, 45-90 minutes depending on the model. A simple desk, 30-45 minutes. Amazon is a special case because quality varies radically depending on the seller and brand. There are excellent pieces of furniture and others that are impractical and break during assembly. If you have doubts about the brand, send us a photo of the package before booking an appointment, and we'll tell you if it's assembleable or if it should be returned. Leroy Merlin has similar quality to IKEA in the mid-to-high range and slightly lower in the economy range. Their own kitchen units are usually of good quality. The drawback is that components often arrive slightly misaligned from the factory and require adjusting hinges and runners at the end of assembly, which IKEA usually doesn't need.

The price for stud walls in El Baix Guinardó typically ranges between 144 and 2575 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time.
