Desk assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the desk type. A flatpack writing desk or computer desk sits at the lower end. Standard executive desks, L-shaped corner desks, and basic home-office setups are mid-band. Motorised sit-stand desks, multi-piece executive setups, and full home-office builds (desk plus pedestal plus hutch plus chair) sit at the top. We send fixed quotes based on the specific desk you're building. Send a product link and we'll send a price that holds. Multi-piece office setups (a desk plus matching shelving or a chair, for example) are quoted as a bundle.

If it ships in a box and isn't already built, we probably handle it. Common desk assembly categories include flatpack writing desks, computer desks, L-shaped corner desks, executive desks, sit-stand and motorised desks, study desks, kids' desks, and home-office setups (desk plus pedestal plus hutch). Brand-wise: IKEA (BEKANT, MICKE, LINNMON, LAGKAPTEN, TROTTEN, ALEX, HEMNES), Mocka, Omnidesk, Desky, Freedom Furniture, Harvey Norman, Big Save, Briscoes, and most NZ online office furniture retailers. If your desk is from somewhere not listed, send a link.

Yes. Sit-stand and motorised desks are a frequent need in home-office setups. We assemble the frame, install the motor cassettes, route the wiring between the control box and the lift columns, calibrate the height limits, and test the lift action through its full range before fitting the desktop. Two builders may be needed because the frame and top together get heavy. We work across all major NZ brands, including IKEA BEKANT, Mocka Maeve, Omnidesk, Desky, and the imported sit-stand range.

Yes. We assemble IKEA desks including LINNMON / ADILS combinations, LAGKAPTEN setups, MICKE desks and corner desks, ALEX drawer units, and the BEKANT and TROTTEN sit-stand ranges. We work from the IKEA manual page by page so fittings go in the right order and nothing gets stripped.

Yes, on request. Office chairs (mesh, leather, ergonomic, executive) usually take 15 to 30 minutes and are easy to add to a desk-assembly booking. Mention it when you request a quote and we'll include it in the bundle price. The gas-lift mechanism and tilt-tension adjustments are tested before we leave.

Yes, basic cable management is available as part of desk assembly. We route visible cables through the desk's intended channels and tidy loose wiring with cable ties where appropriate. For sit-stand desks specifically, the cabling between motor cassettes and the control box has to be routed correctly for the desk to work, so it gets careful attention. If you want a more comprehensive cable-management upgrade (under-desk tray retrofit, cable raceway to the floor), tell us at quote stage and we'll see if it fits the job.

A standard writing desk or computer desk is usually 30 to 60 minutes. An L-shaped corner desk or executive desk runs 1 to 2 hours. A motorised sit-stand desk takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours with two builders. A full home-office setup (desk plus pedestal plus hutch plus chair) is usually a half-day. We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote so you can plan the day around it.

Yes. Desk disassembly is a frequent need for moves, especially L-shaped and corner desks that won't fit through doorways in one piece. We disassemble in reverse order, label and bag every fitting, and protect the top and frame components for transit. At the new place, we rebuild from the same fittings and re-level on the new floor. Disassembly-only is available if a different mover is handling the transit.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with the retailer. We'll finish whatever we safely can with what's available, then come back at no charge to complete the job once the replacement arrives. Damaged-on-arrival pieces (chipped desktops, bent metal frames, stripped pre-drilled holes) are documented for your retailer claim.

Clear the desk's footprint plus a metre on at least two sides so we have build access. Keep a power point nearby for the drills. We'll shift lightweight obstacles ourselves. Heavy furniture, fragile decor, and pets stay yours to manage. If you've got an old desk to remove from the room first, mention it when you book and we can sometimes coordinate.

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 desk type and our schedule that week. A standard writing desk or single computer desk is easier to slot in. Motorised sit-stand desks and L-shaped corner desks may need a couple of days' lead time because they can require two builders. If you need it urgently, say so when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's possible.
