Chair assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the chair type and quantity. A single dining chair or basic office chair sits at the lower end. Gaming chairs, executive office chairs, and recliners are mid-band because of the mechanisms. Multi-chair dining sets (four, six, or eight) are quoted as a set, which works out cheaper per chair than booking them individually. We send fixed quotes based on the specific chairs you're building. Send a product link and the quantity, and we'll send a price that holds.

All flatpack chairs sold in New Zealand. Office chairs (mesh, ergonomic, executive), gaming chairs, dining chairs, accent chairs and armchairs, recliners, bar and counter stools, rocking chairs, and nursing or glider chairs. Brand-wise: IKEA, Mocka, Freedom Furniture, Harvey Norman, Big Save, Briscoes, Nood, and the dedicated office and gaming chair brands (Secretlab, TTRacing, Razer, Herman Miller, and similar). If your chair is from somewhere not listed, send a link.

Yes. Office chairs are quick, mechanism-dependent builds. We attach the base and casters, seat the gas-lift cylinder, fit the seat and back, assemble the armrests, set the tilt tension, and test the full range of adjustment before we leave. An office chair on its own is usually a 15 to 30 minute job, so it's easy to add to a desk or office-furniture booking as part of a bundle.

Yes. Gaming chairs (Secretlab, TTRacing, Razer, and the wider market) are some of the more involved chairs to build because of the 4D adjustable armrests, the reclining mechanism, and the heavier components. We assemble the base and gas-lift, fit the backrest to the seat (the heaviest step, and the one most people struggle with solo), set the recline and tilt, and test the full range. A gaming chair is usually a 30 to 45 minute job.

Yes, and dining chairs are often where chair assembly makes the most sense to outsource, because they come in sets. A set of six or eight flatpack dining chairs is a couple of hours of repetitive work that's easy to get slightly wrong (chairs at different heights, varying tightness) when you're doing them one after another at home. We build the set as a batch so every chair matches, then quote the set as a bundle rather than per chair.

Yes. Recliners (manual and powered) have a reclining mechanism that needs to be assembled in the right order and tested through its full range. For powered recliners, the unit plugs into a wall outlet, so no electrician is needed, but we check the motor runs cleanly through recline and return before we leave. Recliners are heavier than standard chairs, so larger models get two builders.

Depends on the chair. A single dining chair is 15 to 25 minutes. An office chair is 15 to 30 minutes. A gaming chair is 30 to 45 minutes. A recliner is 30 to 60 minutes. A dining set of six to eight chairs is 2 to 3 hours. We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote.

A single chair on its own is a small job, and we'll happily do it, but it's worth knowing that chairs are most cost-effective to assemble alongside other things. If you've got a chair plus a desk, a dining set plus a table, or several chairs together, bundling them into one booking gets you better value than a single small job. If a single chair is genuinely all you need (a gaming chair you can't build solo, say), just send the link and we'll quote it.

Yes, though chairs are among the easier things to move whole, so disassembly is less common for them than for larger furniture. Where a chair does need breaking down (a bulky recliner, an oversized gaming chair, a set that won't fit in one trip), we disassemble in reverse order, bag the fittings, and rebuild at the new address. More often, chairs travel assembled and we're not needed for the move.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with the retailer. Chairs routinely ship with a small surplus of fittings, but mechanism parts (gas-lift cylinders, tilt plates, recline mechanisms) need to be present and undamaged. If a structural or mechanism part is missing, the build stops until the replacement is in hand. We'll finish whatever we safely can in the meantime.

All of Auckland. North Shore, Central, East, West, South, Manukau, Howick, Pakuranga, Albany, the Hibiscus Coast, and the rural fringes. Out-of-city jobs are quoted with a small travel allowance. If you're outside our usual range, ask anyway.

Sometimes, depending on the chairs and our schedule that week. A single chair or a small set is easier to slot in than a bulk dining-set job. If you need it urgently, say so when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's possible.
