Flat-pack furniture is priced for the patience it costs, not just the materials. A pro with the right tools assembles in one hour what takes an evening and a strained relationship — and it's square, tight, and anchored when it matters.
Where 2026 Florida and national cost guides agree. Most jobs land inside this band — your firm quote comes after the diagnostic.
One flat, all-in price for your trade — fees included. A pro finds the real problem on-site and writes a firm quote. That’s all you pay to start.
Labor + parts itemized in writing, plus a 5% service fee. The price you approve is the price you pay.
Thumbtack’s tracked 2026 quotes put furniture assembly at a national average of $150 (typical $125–$175; a single item around $120, up to $350–$500 for big multi-piece orders) at an average of $69 per hour, and minimum visit charges of $150–$250 are common elsewhere. On Middleman, the handyman visit is a flat $50 all-in, and the assembly is quoted firm before any work starts.
A licensed pro accepts — you see their name and license number — and comes out to find the real problem. The $50 is one flat, all-in price — Middleman’s service and referral fees are built in; that’s all you pay to start.
Labor, parts, and the 5% service fee, itemized in writing. Decline and owe nothing more — the visit even converts to a free second opinion.
Payment is held by Stripe and released only after you confirm completion — backed by your pro’s 30-day workmanship warranty.
Building the piece, wall-anchoring where the manufacturer calls for it, and breaking down the boxes. Your pro quotes the whole batch firm before starting.
Your pro will tell you immediately and assemble as far as sensible, or reschedule the remainder — you're never charged for the manufacturer's mistake beyond the visit itself.
Yes — list everything when you post the job, and the quote covers the full batch.
