IKEA and big-box furniture, beds, desks, shelving, and exercise equipment assembled fast, square, and safely anchored across Northern NJ. Serving Montclair homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
The staircase is the part nobody measures. Montclair's Victorians and colonials have gorgeous original stairs — and tight winders, low landings, and newel posts that a boxed wardrobe or king headboard simply won't clear. Before we assemble anything, it has to get where it's going, so we're comfortable carrying flat-packs up narrow pre-war stairwells and assembling large pieces inside the room they'll live in when the box won't make the turn. The other Montclair-specific detail: anti-tip anchoring. Dressers and bookcases should be strapped to the wall, but the plastic anchors in the box assume drywall — in a plaster-walled home near Watchung Plaza or the art museum, they need to hit a stud or use a proper toggle, or the strap is decorative. We build IKEA and big-box furniture, beds, desks, shelving, and exercise equipment square and solid, and we take the packaging with us. Honest tip: before ordering anything over 80 inches, measure your stair turns and ceiling height at the landing. Retailers take returns; staircases don't negotiate.
