Wardrobe assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the size and complexity of the wardrobe. A small single-frame freestanding wardrobe sits at the lower end. A standard PAX with hinged doors and basic internals is mid-band. Multi-frame PAX runs, sliding-door systems, mirrored wardrobes, and walk-in wardrobe builds are at the top. We send fixed quotes based on the specific wardrobe you're building. Send a product link or your IKEA planner file and we'll send a price that holds. Larger wardrobe jobs may include a second builder, because the panels are heavy enough that one person can't safely hold them in position while another tightens fittings.

Yes. IKEA PAX is widely sold across the New Zealand market, and we work across the full range: single frames, multi-frame runs, sliding-door systems, hinged-door systems, mirrored doors, and internal accessories (KOMPLEMENT drawers, pull-out trays, shelves, valet rails, soft-close mechanisms). Send your IKEA planner file with your booking and we'll scope the job accurately, including the second builder where the configuration needs it.

Yes. Sliding-door wardrobes are some of the more technical wardrobe builds, and they may need two assemblers. The rails need to run level along their full length, the door panels need to hang plumb, and the soft-close mechanisms need adjustment. Sliding-door panels are also heavy and easy to damage if mishandled, so two builders is often the safer setup. Once installed, the doors should glide cleanly with no drag and close softly without slamming.

Yes, on request. Wardrobes are tall and top-heavy, especially once clothes are inside, and wall-anchoring is the difference between safe and not. We check the wall behind the planned location for timber studs, hollow plaster, or masonry, then bring fixings to suit. If the wall isn't right for anchoring (rare but possible) we'll talk through alternatives before drilling anything.

All the major wardrobe types you can buy in New Zealand. Freestanding wardrobes (single-door, double-door, with or without drawers). Hinged-door modular wardrobes (including IKEA PAX). Sliding-door wardrobe systems (PAX, mirrored, custom-ordered units). Walk-in wardrobe builds (modular frame systems, internal shelving, hanging rails). Brand-wise, we work across IKEA, Kmart, Briscoes, Freedom Furniture, Harvey Norman, Mocka, Big Save, Nood, Trade Tested, and most NZ online retailers. If your wardrobe is from somewhere not listed, send a link and we'll confirm scope.

Yes. PAX is modular, so existing setups can be extended, reconfigured, or rebuilt with new internals. Common jobs include adding a second frame alongside an existing one, swapping hinged doors for sliding doors, adding drawer banks to a frame that's currently mostly hanging space, or moving an existing PAX from one wall to another. Send the IKEA item codes or your planner file with your request and we'll scope it accurately.

Depends on the wardrobe. A small single-frame freestanding wardrobe is usually under two hours. A standard PAX with hinged doors and basic internals runs three to five hours. A multi-frame PAX with sliding doors, drawer banks, and full internal fit-out can run a full day, sometimes longer. We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote so you can plan the day around it.

Yes. Wardrobes are particularly worth disassembling properly for moves. The panels are heavy, the runners are easy to damage, and door alignments are time-consuming to redo if rails get knocked out of square. We disassemble in reverse order, label and bag every fitting, and pad the panels for transit. At the destination, we rebuild from the same fittings and re-anchor to the new wall.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with the retailer. PAX and similar systems often include small spare fittings, so minor losses are usually easy to cover. If a major panel is damaged or a critical fitting is missing, we'll finish what we safely can, then come back at no charge to complete the job once replacements arrive.

Clear a footprint at least a metre wider than the finished wardrobe will need, plus space for laying out panels during the build (wardrobe assemblies take up a lot of floor temporarily). Keep a power point nearby. We'll shift lightweight obstacles ourselves. Heavy furniture, fragile decor, and pets stay yours to manage. If you're getting carpet or paint done in the room, time the wardrobe install for after those finish.

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 wardrobe size and our schedule that week. Larger PAX configurations and sliding-door systems may need a couple of days' lead time because they can require two builders. Smaller freestanding wardrobes are easier to slot in. If you need it urgently, say so when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's possible.
