How We Saved This Newlywed Couple’s First Week of Marriage

Picture this. You just got married and your wife is moving into your place. You got back from honeymoon on Tuesday, bought a PAX wardrobe on Thursday and attempted to install it on Sunday. My wife and I foolishly attempted to build the PAX wardrobe ourselves, breaking a piece in the process. On Monday morn, I’m scouring Kijiji for someone to install the rest of the unit (b/c I already asked Ikea for an install quote and it was PRICEY!) and along came IKEA Man! From the start, Ivan was efficient and prompt at answering all my initial questions and was extremely flexible with scheduling the installation. In less than 24 hrs, I had the installer (Michael) at my place taking measurements and getting down to business. What impressed me was the level of detail to ensuring the wardrobe was perfectly installed.I saw laser levels ensuring the wardrobe was perfectly straight. I saw C-clamps getting the 2 individual components together so they can be screwed together. I asked Michael to also install the interior closet lights and fish wires through the top of the wardrobe – super clean installation. At the end of the install, he packed up all the cardboard into rolls and had the mirrored doors spotless. I couldn’t be happier with the installation and my wife was able to move all her stuff, dodging a bullet in the first week after the honeymoon! FYI. I’ve got some non-Ikea cabinets for the kitchen coming next month that I will be calling on Ikea Furniture Assembly Service to install
