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

We provide a detailed quote before starting, with labour and materials itemised, so you know exactly how much you're going to pay.

The second risk is wall damage. Anchoring a tall wardrobe to the wall without appropriate rawlplugs for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile), there are specific rawlplugs. Using the same generic rawlplug for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall down weeks later. IKEA is by far the most in demand. Their furniture is reasonably well-designed, instructions are clear (though without text, using universal drawings). Components fit precisely when assembled correctly. The most common error is overtightening the plastic cam screws, which break and require replacement. The correct technique is to tighten by hand until it stops, then only half a turn more with a screwdriver, not electric. When the model requires it, secure wall anchoring with rawlplugs suitable for the material.

A standard IKEA Billy bookcase takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with internal drawers, 90 minutes to 2 hours. A double bed with 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 separate case because quality varies radically by seller and brand. There are excellent pieces of furniture and others that are impossible to assemble and break. If you have doubts about the brand, send us a photo of the package before requesting an appointment, and we'll tell you if it's assembleable or if it's better to return it. The total lead time is 2-4 days depending on kitchen size. We recommend planning in advance because kitchens have long delivery times (4-8 weeks at IKEA, up to 12 in some stores) and it's advisable to have the handyman booked before the materials arrive.

The price for door adjustments in Poble Nou (Terrassa) typically ranges between 27 and 224 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Each intervention is covered for thirty days: if the problem reappears, we return at no extra cost to re-examine it. Before starting the work, the handyman reviews the task and provides you with a fixed written quote, detailing labour and materials. If any unforeseen issues arise during the repair, we will consult you, and you decide whether to proceed.
