Many flat-packaged furniture pieces come with the option to assemble them yourself. This will save you money and give you satisfaction. It will also eliminate scheduling conflicts. Many people choose to hire professional furniture assembly services because they don't have the tools or time to do it themselves. But before you hire a company to assemble your furniture, consider these tips for your own safety:
Wayfair furniture assemblers will charge between $60 and $450 per piece
Wayfair furniture can be assembled yourself if you've ever bought it before. The company sends its furniture in boxes with detailed instructions and photos. Wayfair furniture usually comes with all of your hardware. If you don't have enough time or patience to assemble the furniture yourself, you might consider hiring a professional.
When choosing a furniture assembler, make sure to factor in additional costs. These fees vary widely based on region and zip code. Usually, the assembly fee is added to your order at checkout. Many companies also include delivery and disposal fees. Some assemblers might charge a minimum fee in order to cover their operating costs. When contacting them, make sure you include your zip code. Wayfair will not charge you an additional fee for delivery and installation. However, it may affect the price of the order.
LoadUp assembly + removal services cost $90 to $150 an hour
If you have several pieces of furniture in need of assembly, it is possible to hire a professional to do the job for you. These professionals charge between $90-150 an hour for labor. However, they will save you both time AND money over trying to assemble each piece by yourself. You can even choose to pay extra to have the pros assemble more than one piece at a time.
The cost of furniture you are assembling will depend on its size. As smaller pieces such as chairs or tables are easier to assemble, they will cost less. However, desks and chests are more difficult to assemble and will be more expensive. Prices for cubicle assembly start from $100 and can rise to $1,000.

How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
You should follow all guidelines provided by your local building inspector when installing any type or outlet. This includes ensuring the correct installation and that there is no water damage or fire hazard.
Most boxes are prewired and have four wires from the breaker panel. The box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting wires, it is important that you don't use wire nuts or wrap around screws. This will make it difficult to get the wires in place once they have been tightened. You want to keep them loose enough to move freely but tight enough so they won't pull out of their respective holes.
A second piece of hardware might be required if you wish to add a receptacle or container to an existing box. This task involves removing the metal top from the box and adding a new cover. Once the hole is made for the new receptacle and the cover plate is attached, you would need to connect all of the wires to the new receptacle.
You may not need a licensed electrician to replace the existing light switches in your home. You will first need to remove the old switch and its mounting place. Next, you will need to take the time to unplug all wires that are connected to the switch. These wires include those that supply electricity to lights and power going into the switch. Once you have disconnected all of it, you can begin the replacement process.
After you remove the old switch, measure how far the wall studs are from your new switch and mark them using a permanent marker. Once you've done this, you need to decide if the switch should be placed high above or low to the floor. Depending on the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using drywall anchors.
After you have taken measurements and marked the locations, you can begin the project. Begin tearing down the drywall in the area where you want to install the switch. To ensure that the cable is not accidentally cut inside the wall, you should leave about 8 inches space between each stud. Next, you will need to install the new switch using the appropriate mounting brackets. The cables will also need attaching to the switch. Finally, screw it into the mounting plates. Once the switch has been fully installed, you will need to turn the power back on and test the newly added device to ensure it works properly.
