Single bed assembly

Takes about 2 hr

A single bed kit arrives as side rails, a headboard, slats and a bag of bolts. The carpenter sorts the parts against the maker's sheet, joins the headboard and footboard to the rails, sets the slats or base panel, and tightens every bolt in sequence so the frame stays square. Once built, they press on each corner to check for rock or creak.

Plan for about two hours, from the price shown on this page. If parts are missing or the kit has a storage box, the carpenter tells you before going on.

Keep all boxes unopened in the room where the bed will stand, with the instruction sheet and hardware bag, and leave space around the spot to work.

Questions about this service

Can the carpenter assemble a bed from any brand?

Yes, as long as the maker's instructions and fittings are in the box. That covers flat-pack furniture from any retailer.

What if a part is missing?

The carpenter stops and shows you. Missing parts are claimed from the seller; the rest can be built on a later visit if you choose.

Will you take away the packaging?

The area is left tidy, but packaging disposal is not part of the job.
