What affects the cost?

Number of items and total piece count within each item
Brand and construction complexity (some flat-pack lines are far more labor-intensive)
Whether the item needs to be anchored to a wall (dressers, bookshelves)
Whether packaging and boxes need to be hauled away afterward
Access — stairs, tight hallways, or elevator buildings add time

What's included

Included

Full assembly per manufacturer instructions
Basic wall anchoring for tip-prone furniture where hardware is provided
Placement of the finished item in the intended room
Removal of packaging materials (unless declined)

DIY vs. hiring a pro

Simple single-box items are often fine to DIY with a weekend afternoon. For multi-box wardrobe systems, sectionals, or a full move-in list of 5+ items, most Rochester Hills and Shelby Township families find it's faster and less frustrating to hire a pro, especially when items need to be wall-anchored correctly.
