The AssemblyMan Standard:
A Professional Build, Every Time
We believe great furniture deserves a great assembly. We understand the engineering behind IKEA's designs—the quality hardware and safe, durable materials they are known for. Honoring that engineering is the core of our process.
That’s why you will never see our specialists use loud, high-torque impact drivers. That’s the fastest way to strip a screw or crack a panel. Instead, we use quiet, professional-grade tools to ensure every component is set with precision, protecting your home and your new furniture.
Our goal is simple: to build your furniture exactly as the designers intended. This meticulous, process-driven approach is the key to the long-term stability and flawless function you expect. The job is only finished when we walk you through the result, demonstrating every function so you are completely confident in the final product before we leave.
Our Expertise on Your Specific IKEA Furniture
Here’s a look at the most common projects we master, and how our professional process navigates their unique challenges—from intimidating, phonebook-sized instruction manuals to the overwhelming pile of boxes for a single piece of furniture.
PAX Wardrobes & Storage Systems
The most requested and complex IKEA assembly challenge
The PAX Wardrobe System: A perfect PAX build requires perfect leveling in two dimensions within the limited adjustment range available. Our process focuses on this critical foundation, after which we meticulously adjust all doors and mechanisms to ensure the smoothest operation possible. We perform the final hinge calibration that DIY builders skip—the three-axis adjustment system (height, depth, lateral) that transforms uneven doors into perfectly aligned, smooth-closing units.
PAX Baseboard & Anchoring Solutions: PAX systems have limited leveling adjustments, and wall anchoring with existing baseboards is usually problematic. We solve these installation challenges where customers want to keep existing baseboards while having PAX properly and safely secured to the wall.
Complex Storage Systems: We master the overwhelming assembly manuals and multiple-box challenges of HAUGA bedroom storage and KLEPPSTAD wardrobes. Our expertise includes post-assembly door fine-tuning—using quarter-turn micro-adjustments in IKEA’s European hinges to achieve perfect appearance.
Legacy Storage Lines: We service discontinued systems customers still own—former ALGOT (now BOAXEL), ensuring compatibility solutions when parts are no longer available.
Critical Steps DIY Builders Miss:
- Hardware sorting and inventory verification: Proper organization prevents mid-assembly shortages
- Sequential assembly compliance: Following precise order—skipping steps causes complications
- Two-dimensional frame leveling: Foundation for perfect door alignment within limited adjustment range
- Hinge micro-calibration: Three-axis adjustment for seamless operation
- Weight distribution verification: Preventing shelf sagging and door misalignment
- Baseboard anchoring solutions: Safe wall mounting while preserving existing trim
- Final adjustment protocols: Post-assembly fine-tuning for optimal operation
Current Lines: PAX, HAUGA, KLEPPSTAD, VIHALS, BOAXEL (formerly ALGOT)
Bedroom Furniture (Beds, Dressers, Nightstands)
Creating serene spaces through precision assembly and mechanism expertise
Heavy Bed Frame Expertise: We’re equipped for heavy lifting and awkward maneuvering required for genuinely heavy beds like TONSTAD, NORDLI platform beds, and IDANAS models, protecting your floors, walls, and furniture from costly damage during assembly.
The HEMNES Series Challenge: For the soft pine HEMNES collection, we use precise, low-torque tools to prevent the screw stripping that permanently damages this beautiful wood. Our critical final step: drawer runner calibration—ensuring each drawer glides smoothly without binding or gaps.
Complex Multi-Box Assemblies: We have the process down to a science for beds arriving in 6+ boxes with complicated instructions—BRIMNES storage beds, HEMNES daybeds, NORDLI platform systems save you hours of frustration.
Critical Post-Assembly Steps DIY Builders Miss:
- Hardware inventory completion: Verifying all components used correctly
- Slat spacing verification: Ensuring proper mattress support and preventing sagging
- Storage mechanism stress-testing: Verifying under-bed drawers operate smoothly under load
- Safety anchor installation: Wall attachment for tall beds and loft systems
- Guardrail torque verification: Double-checking all safety connections for children’s beds
- Drawer calibration sequence: Final runner adjustment for smooth, gap-free operation

Living Room & Media Furniture
Expert attention to complex mechanisms and professional finishing
The FRIHETEN Challenge: This is the most complained-about IKEA item. We’re experts in its complex internal mechanisms, preventing the common pullout detachment issues and chaise storage hinge failures. Our proper assembly technique prevents over-tightening that causes future disassembly problems.
BESTÃ… Media Systems: A perfect BESTÃ… build requires patience and experience. We master the micro-adjustment procedures in IKEA’s European hardware—the precise calibration of hinges and drawer slides that achieve a seamless, high-end look across all doors and units.
The Modern BILLY Challenge: The BILLY design has evolved, requiring proper backing board groove insertion and tensioning—the most common failure point causing wobble. We eliminate gaps between panels and perform final stability verification.
Critical Steps DIY Builders Miss:
- Pictorial instruction interpretation: Avoiding orientation errors from ambiguous diagrams
- Mechanism load-testing: Sleeper sofas extending/retracting smoothly under actual use
- Cover tension adjustment: Professional fabric fitting minimizing wrinkles and bunching
- Modular connection verification: Sectional pieces locking securely without gaps
- Frame stress-testing: Eliminating wobbling or creaking under normal use
- Media system micro-calibration: Achieving seamless door and drawer alignment
- Joint sequence verification: Proper tightening order preventing warping

Office & Workspace Solutions
Building productive foundations through comprehensive calibration
Electric Sit/Stand Desk Expertise: We’re specialists in MITTZON, IDASEN, and BEKANT electric desk systems. Beyond assembly, we perform the critical motor calibration and reset procedures that prevent the common “desk won’t move” failures. Our process includes proper cable management, weight distribution setup, and the reset calibration sequence (8-10 second button hold) that DIY builders typically skip.
The ALEX Drawer Challenge: This iconic unit is notoriously difficult to get right. We’re experts in perfect initial runner alignment and post-assembly calibration, preventing the sticking and uneven gaps that plague DIY assemblies.
Professional Chair Assembly: We assemble complex ergonomic chairs (MARKUS, MILLBERGET, LÅNGFJÄLL, STYRSPEL) to be perfectly stable and squeak-free, ready for high-use work environments.
Critical Professional Steps DIY Builders Miss:
- Motor calibration sequence: Proper reset procedures for optimal range and speed
- Surface leveling verification: Perfectly level work surfaces prevent objects rolling
- Load distribution testing: Ensuring desks handle maximum weight ratings
- Cable management optimization: Preventing motor strain from poor wire routing
- Stability stress-testing: No wobbling at full extension heights

Children's & Safety-Critical Furniture
Where safety is the only standard—meticulous assembly for peace of mind
Children’s Sleep Systems: KURA reversible beds, SMÃ…STAD loft systems (formerly STUVA), and MYDAL bunk beds require comprehensive safety verification—every guardrail torque-tested, every connection double-checked, every anchor point verified for total safety.
SMÃ…STAD Loft Bed Systems: These complex multi-component systems replaced STUVA and arrive in numerous boxes with intimidating instructions. We specialize in the precise assembly sequence that ensures structural integrity and safety compliance.
Critical Safety Steps DIY Builders Miss:
- Guardrail torque verification: Double-checking all safety connections for proper hold
- Ladder attachment stress-testing: Ensuring secure mounting under child use
- Structural load-testing: Verifying weight capacity compliance
- Sharp edge inspection: Final safety check for any assembly-related hazards
- Anchor point verification: Wall attachment for anti-tip safety

Specialty & Outdoor Furniture
Expert handling of challenging materials and seasonal installations
The Bare Pine & Wooden Screw Challenge: Products like TARVA, NEIDEN, RAST, and HAGERNAS dining sets use dozens of screws driven carefully by hand into soft wood. This extremely time-consuming, hand-cramping process requires specialized torque control and pilot hole techniques our specialists provide efficiently.
Shoe Storage Solutions: We’re experts in solving the most common installation issue with HEMNES, BRUSALI, GULLABERG, STALL, and TRONES shoe cabinets. We know the specific baseboard clearance solution for each product line.
