IKEA assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the IKEA piece and its size. Small items like LACK tables, single BILLY units, or a MICKE desk sit at the lower end. Beds, MALM dressers, BEKANT desks, and standard wardrobes are mid-band. Multi-frame PAX runs, sliding-door wardrobes, KALLAX walls, and bunk beds sit at the top. We send fixed quotes based on the specific IKEA furniture you're building. Send a product link or your IKEA planner file and we'll send a price that holds. Multi-piece jobs are quoted as a bundle.

Across the IKEA range. Wardrobes (PAX, hinged and sliding door), drawers and dressers (MALM, HEMNES, KULLEN), bookcases and shelving (BILLY, KALLAX, IVAR), beds (MALM, HEMNES, NEIDEN, SLATTUM), desks and office furniture (BEKANT, MICKE, TROTTEN, LINNMON, LAGKAPTEN), media units (BESTÅ), dining tables and chairs, bathroom units (GODMORGON), and children's furniture (SUNDVIK, SMÅSTAD, KURA). If it's IKEA and it came flat in a box, we most likely build it.

Yes. PAX is one of IKEA's most involved builds and a common reason to bring in help. We handle every PAX configuration: hinged-door and sliding-door systems, mirrored doors, multi-frame runs, and interior fit-outs with KOMPLEMENT drawers, shelves, and rails. Sliding-door PAX systems and multi-frame runs are two-builder jobs because the frames are heavy and the door alignment matters. If you've designed your PAX in the IKEA planner, send the planner file with your booking and we'll scope it accurately, including whether the job needs a second builder.

Yes. MALM is one of IKEA's best-known dresser and bed ranges. For MALM drawers and tallboys, we set the drawer fronts to even gaps and anchor the unit to the wall, which matters because tall drawer units are a known tip-over risk in homes with kids. For MALM beds, we build the frame square and tighten to spec so it doesn't loosen over time. The MALM range is well-documented and assembles cleanly when the steps are followed in order.

Yes. BILLY bookcases and KALLAX cube shelving are two of IKEA's most recognisable pieces. Both are quick to build individually but add up when you're doing a run or a full wall, and both rely on a backing panel that has to be squared properly or the unit twists. We pin the backing panels to spec, level each unit, and anchor tall configurations to the wall. KALLAX walls and BILLY runs of several units are two-builder jobs once the height and weight add up.

Depends on the piece. A LACK table or single BILLY is 30 to 60 minutes. A MALM dresser, MICKE desk, or single bed is 1 to 2 hours. A single-frame PAX wardrobe is 2 to 4 hours. A multi-frame PAX run with sliding doors and full KOMPLEMENT fit-out can be most of a day. We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote.

Yes. IKEA furniture disassembles and reassembles for moves, though some pieces travel better than others. Solid-frame items (MALM, HEMNES) come apart and rebuild reliably; particleboard pieces and anything with a pinned backing panel are more fragile and don't always survive multiple rebuilds, so we'll tell you honestly what's worth disassembling and what's better replaced. We disassemble in reverse order, label and bag the fittings, and rebuild at the new address.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with IKEA (their spare-parts service is generally good for common fittings). We'll complete whatever we safely can with what's available, then arrange to return and finish the job once the replacement arrives. For cots, bunk beds, and anything load-bearing, we won't leave a structurally incomplete piece in service; it stays unfinished until the replacement is in hand.

No. Wand is an independent flatpack assembly service. We're not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or partnered with IKEA, and we're not an IKEA delivery or assembly partner. We assemble IKEA furniture the same way we assemble furniture from any other retailer, as a third-party service for people who've bought it and would rather not build it themselves. IKEA offers its own assembly options; we're an independent alternative, not connected to them. IKEA is a trademark of Inter IKEA Systems B.V.

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 IKEA piece and our schedule that week. Smaller items and single pieces are easier to slot in. Multi-frame PAX runs, sliding-door wardrobes, and bunk beds usually need a couple of days' lead time because they're larger, two-builder jobs. If you need it urgently, say so when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's possible.
