1. Vitaliy
Based in Long Island City, NY, Vitaliy works as a furniture assembler. It has been in business for 24 years. Furniture assembly turns boxed, flat-pack pieces into finished furniture by following the manufacturer's instructions, sorting hardware, and fitting panels, cam locks, and dowels in the right order. Tall pieces are usually secured to the wall with the included anti-tip hardware, and packaging can often be broken down for recycling. Typical jobs for furniture assembly in Long Island City include disassembly for a move, bookcase anchoring to the wall, playset and swing set assembly, outdoor patio set assembly and office desk and chair assembly. Missing hardware, confusing instructions, and wobbly pieces from a first attempt are common reasons people hand the job to someone with experience. Photos of the boxes, the room layout, and any partly assembled pieces help an assembler plan the time and tools needed. Large pieces like wardrobes, beds with storage drawers, and outdoor playsets take longer than small tables, which is reflected in the quote. Besides Long Island City, homeowners in Sunnyside, Woodside and Astoria can reach out for furniture assembly. Posted hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
