Furniture Assembly in Sydney

Anchoring tall furniture in Sydney homes

Tall drawers, wardrobes and bookcases should be anchored to the wall so they cannot tip onto a child — product safety regulators in Australia warn about this every year. In a rental or a strata apartment you may need permission before drilling, so ask your landlord or strata manager first and tell the assembler what the wall is made of.

Before you hire a furniture assembly in Sydney

• Send the item name, model or box photo, plus the number of packages.
• Show the room and confirm there is space to lay out the parts.
• Ask whether wall fixing, packaging removal and moving the finished item are included.
• Tell the assembler if parts are missing or the item is second-hand.

Common questions

Can the assembler collect my IKEA order in Sydney?

Some assemblers also pick up and deliver; others only assemble. Ask when you book, and give the store, order size and your access details.

Can an assembler fix a wardrobe to the wall?

Many can, but they need to know the wall material and have suitable fixings. Ask for wall anchoring to be included in the scope.

Should I open all the boxes first?

Keep the instructions and hardware together. Ask the assembler whether they prefer the boxes unopened so parts can be checked as they work.
