The service
What furniture & equipment assembly is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Furniture assembly is the work of building flat-pack and boxed furniture and equipment from its parts: beds, dressers, wardrobes, desks, shelving, TV stands, patio sets and fitness gear. Furniture & Equipment Assembly in Los Gatos is booked through pros who cover its 4 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Downtown Los Gatos, Almond Grove, and Belgatos. In Los Gatos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. On NorTech, the pro you pick is independent and background-checked, and sets their own price and warranty.

Before you book furniture & equipment assembly
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Keep the boxes and instructions together
Leave each piece in its own box with the instruction sheet and the hardware bag. Do not throw away the small parts bags until the pro has checked that everything is in the box.
List every piece and the brand
Write down the name, brand and size of each item, and the room it goes in. A pro can check how long each piece takes and bring any special tools.
Choose where each piece will go
Decide the final spot before the pro starts, so they build in the right place. Measure doorways and halls first, in case a large piece cannot move once built.
Know your wall type for anchoring
If a tall piece needs wall anchoring, tell the pro what the wall is made of and where the studs are, if you know. Drywall, plaster and brick all need different anchors.
Check parts as soon as the boxes arrive
Open one end of the box and compare the contents with the parts list in the manual, then order replacements early. Missing or damaged parts are the usual reason a build stops partway.
Clear a working area and plan for packaging
Give the pro a floor space about the size of the finished piece to lay it out. Ask whether they will break down the cardboard and take it away or leave it for recycling.
Say where in Los Gatos you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Downtown Los Gatos, Almond Grove, and Belgatos, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
