As you sit on your living room floor with nuts, bolts, and Styrofoam packaging strewn around you, you’re overcome with an immense feeling of déjà vu. You’ve certainly been here before—and by here, we mean convinced that the manufacturer forgot to include the screw that’s required for step 15 of 100 in the instruction manual filled with nothing but confusing diagrams and illustrations that look like they were drawn by your eight-year-old. The last time you found yourself in this situation, you swore you’d never purchase assembly-required furniture ever again. Yet here you are. Maybe it’s the magic of the showroom lighting that makes everything look so nice, maybe it’s the lower prices or maybe it’s just the mind’s propensity to forget pain in order to survive. Regardless, these assembly instructions are making less and less sense the longer you sit here.

You Can Build Furniture On Your Own. . . But Do You Really Want To?
Ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture (also known as flat-pack furniture) has been around longer than you might think. In the late 19th century, the concept of shipping furniture that required assembly was conceived of as a way to increase the ease of transportation. The first RTA furniture was sold through catalogs during the First World War, but sales didn’t take off until the 1940s. At this time, only the wealthy were able to afford nice furniture. Because RTA products were less costly to ship and manufacture, they became an affordable option for those with smaller budgets. In the mid-1950s, a Scandinavian company that is now well-known across the world became a pioneer in flat-pack furniture.
Despite being popular for the last 70 years, give or take, consumers still complain about hard-to-follow instruction manuals. In the age of the internet, some furniture manufacturers have begun providing instructional videos to supplement the manuals, but for most consumers without extensive carpentry knowledge, the assembly process remains long, confusing, and downright frustrating. Unfortunately, flat-pack furniture appears to be here to stay. The cost savings associated with more warehouse space for manufacturers and a lower upfront cost for consumers make this option attractive to many, despite its drawbacks. Even those who would prefer to purchase pre-assembled furniture may find it difficult to do so, as even major cities are low on options.
Fortunately, with the help of an experienced professional, you can have your cake and eat it too—you pay less for RTA furniture and we’ll assemble it for you.

Furniture Assembly Service Frisco FAQs
DO I NEED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH TOOLS?
Our handyman professionals have all the tools they need to complete your assembly service appointment quickly and efficiently. Most flat pack furniture comes with ‘tools’—if you count Allen keys, that is—but many of our service technicians prefer to use their own tools, which tend to work better.
On the day of your appointment, your technician will arrive in a company truck or van. In the back, he or she will have all of their own personal tools and equipment, as well as any basic materials they may find themselves needing. All you need to do is open the door and show us the piece of furniture or structure you need to be assembled!
HOW MUCH DOES FURNITURE ASSEMBLY SERVICE IN FRISCO COST?
The cost of our furniture assembly service in Frisco, TX varies considerably depending on what it is you need to be assembled. Some products require a much greater amount of labor and carpentry expertise than others, requiring us to be at your home longer.
Generally, assembly for pieces such as hammocks, dining chairs, and coffee tables will cost the least, while assembly of an entertainment center and a wardrobe will cost more. The latter are much larger and tend to have significantly more components. Likewise, fence assembly requires quite a bit of preparation including digging holes and mixing concrete.
We’ll always quote you a price that we believe is fair to both you and our service technicians. Our customers come back to us for our Frisco assembly service time and time again because the cost of the piece and professional assembly tend to still be lower than purchasing a prefabricated piece.
DO YOU PROVIDE AN ASSEMBLY SERVICE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES?
Absolutely! At Mr. Handyman of Frisco, TX, we’re proud to provide assembly services for all residents, whether homeowners or commercial property owners. We are often hired by commercial businesses to assemble things like blackboards, whiteboards, and office furniture. We encourage you to contact us directly to learn more about our commercial assembly service in Frisco, TX.
CAN YOU ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL WALL-MOUNTED FURNITURE?
Yes, we can assemble and correctly install wall-mounted furniture. This may include wall shelves, cabinets, bookcases, and murphy beds. It’s paramount that these types of projects are installed correctly, as improperly mounted furniture and fixtures may fall and cause injury to those close by. Fortunately, our handyman team has significant experience in these types of assembly and installation projects, so you can rest assured that the job will be done right.
In addition, we can mount your television and hang mirrors and artwork. And, if you decide to move, we can uninstall these units and provide you with our drywall repair service.
WHAT IF MY FURNITURE IS ASSEMBLED INCORRECTLY?
Because our handyman professionals are highly experienced in carpentry, an incorrect installation is highly unlikely. As mentioned, if you find our assembly service does not meet your expectations for workmanship, we will gladly come back and make things right.
Transparency and integrity are important to us, as is building lasting relationships with our customers. We want your assembly service to meet your expectations every time. We know our success is based on our customers’ satisfaction.
CAN I ORDER FURNITURE THROUGH YOU?
As a handyman company, we provide the services rather than the materials. There are many furniture companies in the Frisco area that you can order furniture through and have it shipped directly to your door.
In some cases, we may be able to pick up an order on our way, but this must be arranged with us well in advance of your service appointment. Please discuss this option with us directly before scheduling your appointment.
WILL YOU FINISH THE JOB ON PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED FURNITURE?
It’s more common than you think for customers to start an assembly project only to lose faith (and patience) and call us to complete the job. Bear in mind that if the project has thus far been constructed incorrectly, we may have to take apart the work you’ve already done, but you can guarantee that you’ll have a perfectly constructed piece by the end of your service appointment.
HOW LONG DOES YOUR ASSEMBLY SERVICE TAKE?
The length of time it will take us to complete your assembly service from start to finish depends largely on the scale of the project. That being said, most projects can be done in an afternoon—unless we’re talking about deck and fence assembly, the latter of which also requires curing time.
At the beginning of your service appointment, we’ll give you an estimated project timeline. If anything changes partway through the service, we’ll update you accordingly.
