The primary risk is losing the manufacturer's warranty. IKEA, for instance, requires assembly according to instructions for the warranty to be valid. If furniture breaks due to incorrect assembly, it won't be covered. We've seen wardrobes collapse a month after assembly because someone screwed crookedly or didn't use all the intended screws.

A preliminary visit is mandatory for a fixed quote and planning.

The second risk is wall damage. Anchoring a tall cabinet to the wall without appropriate rawlplugs for the material can tear off plaster or brick when someone pulls a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile), specific rawlplugs exist. Using the same generic rawlplug for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall weeks later. There's a category of household jobs that aren't quite plumbing, electrical, or carpentry. These are the things that have been on your list for months and could be sorted in an afternoon if you had the tools and the inclination. The picture that needs hanging. The door that scrapes. 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. Adjusting doors and windows. Building movement, temperature changes, and humidity cause doors to rub against their frames, windows not to close properly, or blinds to get stuck. Often the solution is a hinge adjustment or a quick sand, a job taking less than an hour.

The total lead time is 2-4 days, depending on kitchen size. We recommend planning ahead because kitchens have long delivery times (4-8 weeks from IKEA, up to 12 in some stores), so it's best to have the handyman booked before the materials arrive. A standard IKEA Billy bookshelf takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with internal drawers takes 90 minutes to 2 hours. A double bed with a slatted base takes 60-90 minutes. An extendable dining table with chairs takes 45-90 minutes, depending on the model. A simple desk takes 30-45 minutes. Leroy Merlin has similar quality to IKEA in the mid-to-high range and slightly lower in the economy range. Their own-brand kitchen furniture is generally good quality. The drawback is that components often come 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 cladding in El Poblenou typically ranges between €144 and €2575. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.
