How Much Does IKEA Charge for Assembly?
IKEA does not assemble furniture themselves — their official assembly service is provided through TaskRabbit. IKEA assembly charges through TaskRabbit start at around £33 per item, but the cost rises significantly for larger or more complex pieces.
For example, IKEA PAX wardrobe assembly through TaskRabbit can cost £150–£250+, whereas a local handyman in Essex typically charges £85–£200 for the same work.
How Much Does IKEA PAX Wardrobe Assembly Cost?
The PAX is IKEA most popular wardrobe — and the most commonly asked about for assembly pricing. PAX wardrobe assembly cost depends on size and door type:
- Single PAX (1 frame): £85–£110
- Double PAX (2 frames): £120–£160
- Triple PAX (3 frames): £160–£200
- Sliding doors: add £20–£40 — these are more complex and time-consuming
- Internal fittings (drawers, rails, shelves): may add a small amount
PAX wardrobe installation cost should always include wall-fixing for safety — we include this as standard.
IKEA Bed Assembly Cost
IKEA bed assembly typically costs £60–£95 depending on the model. Simple frames like MALM are quicker, while storage beds with drawers (like NORDLI or MALM with storage) take longer and cost a little more.
IKEA Kitchen Assembly Cost
IKEA kitchen units (METOD/SEKTION) are priced per cabinet, typically £30–£60 per unit depending on size and type. A full kitchen assembly is usually quoted as a complete project — contact us for a tailored quote.
Can You Save Money on IKEA Assembly?
Yes — here are a few tips:
- Book multiple items together — most assemblers offer a discount for 3+ items
- Use a local handyman instead of TaskRabbit — typically 10–20% cheaper
- Have everything ready — boxes unpacked and in the right room saves time and money
- Combine with other jobs — if you are booking a handyman anyway, add your flat pack to the same visit
