Assembly and installation
Furniture assembly in Toronto and the GTA
Handyman on the Go assembles flat-pack and boxed furniture in Toronto and the GTA, including beds, cribs, wardrobes, dressers, desks and storage, and secures tall pieces to the wall.
Flat-pack furniture can take an afternoon or a whole weekend, depending on the piece. Assembled properly, with every fitting tightened in order, it is sturdier and lasts longer.

Questions about furniture assembly
Should tall furniture be secured to the wall?
Yes. Health Canada recommends securing tall or top-heavy furniture, such as dressers and bookcases, to prevent tip-overs, especially in homes with children. Most furniture comes with an anti-tip kit, and it can be fitted during assembly.
Can furniture be taken apart for a move?
Yes. Furniture can be taken apart before a move, with every screw and fitting bagged and labelled, and put back together in your new home.
