IKEA / flat-pack prices — Gold Hands Miami
| Job | Price | Typical IKEA examples |
|---|---|---|
| Simple item | $129 | KALLAX, side table, simple TV stand |
| Medium item | $169 | Desk, dresser, dining table |
| Complex item | $219 | PAX wardrobe, bed frame, large entertainment center |
| Multiple items (3+) | 10% off total | Move-in bedroom + living room sets |
| Hourly (2-hr minimum) | $100/hr | Odd kits, partial re-assembly, mixed brands |
Prices are labor. You supply the furniture. Hardware that ships in the box is included; specialty anchors for unusual walls are flagged before we drill.
Miami condo tips that change the job
- Freight elevator windows — Brickell and Miami Beach towers often give a 2–4 hour dock slot. We load tools and boxes in that window so security does not turn us away mid-build.
- Concrete and CMU walls — Tip-over kits assume drywall + studs. South Florida high-rises are often concrete; we bring masonry anchors and confirm before drilling into finishes the HOA cares about.
- Humidity swell — Particleboard that sat in a humid garage can expand. We dry-fit panels and avoid forcing cams that will crack. If a panel arrived water-warped, we stop and document before finishing.
- Balcony / lanai staging — Unboxing on a small balcony is fine if wind is calm; we bag foam and cardboard for your building’s recycling rules.
When a half-day beats piece pricing
If you have a full move-in list — bed, two nightstands, dresser, desk, and a bookshelf — piece rates add up. Compare against our general handyman packages: half-day $389 (4 hrs) or full-day $715 (8 hrs). Many Sunny Isles and Aventura move-ins land cheaper on a half-day once you pass three medium builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IKEA furniture assembly cost in Miami?
Gold Hands prices by complexity: simple items (bookshelf, side table, TV stand) $129; medium (desk, dresser, dining table) $169; complex (wardrobe, bed frame, entertainment center) $219. Multiple pieces (3+) get 10% off. Hourly is $100/hr with a 2-hour minimum when a flat rate does not fit.
Do you assemble only IKEA, or other flat-pack brands too?
IKEA is our most common request, but we assemble any flat-pack brand — Wayfair, Amazon Basics, Ashley kits, office desks — as long as hardware and instructions arrive with the box.
Can you work inside Miami condo freight elevators and loading docks?
Yes. Tell us your building’s freight window, COI rules, and parking when you book. Sunny Isles, Brickell, and Miami Beach towers often limit weekday dock hours — we schedule around those windows so boxes are not stuck in the lobby.
Will you tip-over anchor tall IKEA pieces?
Yes. Wardrobes, dressers, and tall bookshelves get wall anchors when the wall type allows (drywall, concrete, or studs). Anchoring is included in the assembly price for tall items unless the wall requires specialty hardware we flag first.
What if IKEA parts are missing?
We inventory parts before we start. Missing bags get photographed and we help you order replacements through IKEA. Common spare hardware often comes from our truck so the job is not dead-stopped over one cam lock.
