Assembly Squad

Excellent service (even on short notice). The Assembly Squad did a great job putting together my living room furniture. Angel went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect before he left. I will DEFINITELY be using the Assembly Squad in the future.

Angel and Tim were great! They went above and beyond the service we agreed on – assembling an Ikea bed, dresser, nightstand and mounting a tv – by also convincing me of the safety of mounting a mirror on the wall rather than leaning it on the wall atop a dresser, and a last minute sconce that I didn’t think to mention in the first estimate email. They were polite, efficient, had reasonable fees, and pretty damned decent human beings aside from doing their job well. I would hire them again, and next time have more cash with me because they deserved a bigger tip than I was able to give.

They did a fabulous job! I went on their website for a quote [after being told by IKEA and their delivering company that they couldn’t assemble to my area AFTER purchasing delivery] to have them assemble my IKEA bed and it hadn’t even been over an hour when I got a call asking when I was available! Tim was on vacation so arrangements were different and Steve was able to help me the next day! They were a little late (no big deal, I’m really big in more than 10 min late) but he was very helpful. Unfortunately it took longer since of course it was a 2 person job, but did an excellent job. He even helped me move my mattress on the bed frame he built before he left. There was a handle that broke slightly in the process and they were happy to help fix the issue the next day! Guys– best part– the price was STILL cheaper than Ikea’s (sure not by much, but frankly it is that challenging to build). If you’re hesitant whether this company is legit, I promise you, you’re better off calling these guys instead of IKEA for assembly :)

I stand by my initial review. I did like the job they had done initially and that is why I wanted them to do my second job. However their not getting back to me to set up an appointment was very inconvenient as I had invited guests over and had to cancel. For me not hearing anything from them indicated an unprofessional approach to their business.
I did not appreciate the call from the company asking me to take down my review. He offered to do something free for me. I have no more furniture to assemble and it was too late. As I refused to change my review as I feel it it is truthful and fair he became more and more angry and argued that I should rescind the review. I finally just terminated the conversation and hung up. His approach on this call was equally unprofessional.

Great communication and service! Would absolutely recommend and use their services again.

Now that we’re finally settled in our house and enjoying our new IKEA kitchen, I found the time to write a review for this company. Let me put it simply, if I could give 10 stars, I would. Assembly Squad is probably the best service company I have ever dealt with. Lightning fast response time, true professionals to work with (Viktor and Tim), fair prices and quality work that is second to none!
I used Assembly Squad to install IKEA cabinets in our kitchen and wish I would have had more work for them. From the minute I received my quote, to scheduling the job, to the onsite install and clean up, to the post job follow up… everything was top notch. I can’t say enough. Tim, the project manager, even offered to run back out to IKEA from the city to grab a door handle that I had forgot to purchase. Most companies wouldn’t even think of that offer, let alone doing it. Don’t be fooled by the ficticious one star reviews here. To make it easier, throw out the best 5 star reviews and the worst five reviews and see what you are left with… yep, you’ll still be left with all five star reviews, for good reason.
The bottom line: If you have anything from IKEA (or other flat pak products) that needs to be assembled, this is the company you need to use. Period. Can’t wait to use Assembly Squad again!

VIktor at Assebly Squad was a real pain in the neck to work with throughout the entire process. He made estimating problematic. Each time a new part of issue came up he issued a new invoice «FOR IMMEDIATE PAYMENT» for $ 25 or $ 75 dollars. Very disruptive. This was a large, multi-​unit job and this company has no empathy and little process for dealing with complexity. Additionally, both large cabinets have doors that don’t close properly. Kitchen cabinets aren’t fully «set» and several pieces were not quite right. We did let them «go» and found another Ikea installer to finish the job. I would not recommend.
This review is by a real, paying client who is dissatisfied with all aspects of doing business with assembly squad. This type of aggressive response by Viktor only highlights my experience.

This service was fantastic. I hired them back in May to put together all the furniture for a 2br high rise Chicago apartment — all in one eveniing. Since I found them on the internet, I was placing blind trust in them, but they didn’t disappoint. The owner, Viktor, was a pleasure to deal with and the assemblers (a father and son) were professional, prompt, quick, and assembled everything perfectly.
I will definitely be using them again next year when I move to disassemble the furniture. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know who needs to build furniture fast and correctly.

I hired them to build a dresser I ordered from Amazon. The guy who came did a great job and was professional, also he ended up assembling a shoe rack I had as well since I’d attempted to build it myself and did a terrible job (lol). Overall I definitely recommend Assembly Squad if you’re looking to hire someone to assemble furniture for you !

I recently used Assembly squad to help with assembling a wardrobe and cabinet for my office. From start to finish I found they were excellent to work with. I contacted Viktor with the pieces that I needed to have put together and he was able to get a crew out to my home the very next morning. The guys that did the assemble were friendly, professional, and polite. They also worked fast, efficiently and cleaned up all of the boxes and rubbish. This was my first time using these guys but it likely won’t be my last. Knowing that Assembly Squad is around to help put things together I will feel more comfortable about buying non-​assembled furniture. I would certainly recommend them to others.

These guys saved me when I was in desperate need for furniture assembly for college. I am so thankful I called them! Best service I have ever received and the furniture looks great. You will not be disappointed I promise

Amazing! Martin is a ROCK STAR! Arrived early, assembled 11 pieces of furniture in less than 3 hours, took away all boxes, recommend x 10!!!

I cannot say enough great things about the Assembly Squad. From the moment I first contacted them, Viktor was kind, amiable, helpful and always available. Despite the fact that I called him last minute, he was accomodating and managed to squeeze me into his schedule. He truly cared about our experience with their service, and gave us star treatment. Martin arrived at my place with precise punctuality, and he was courteous and crazy efficient. My stacks of furniture boxes (not just Ikea but other brands too) were assembled in no time, with no mess left behind. Not only do I plan to use their service again, but I plan to recommend them to everyone I know! Truly, you can’t go wrong with these guys!

Assembly Squad is Amazing! My husband & I purchased a custom made wall bed which arrived unassembled. We did however receive a «video» with with extremely difficult assembly instructions… «Piston Lift Mechanism» and «Wall Bed Lighting System». I panicked! I called Assembly Squad and told Viktor my dilemma. «Not a problem» he said. He told me Ernesto would be calling me to set up an appointment and go over the details of the job. Ernesto arrived on time and began to assemble the wallbed. He was a PRO! He had all the tools and knowledge to install the wallbed & completed the assembly in a little over 2 hrs. I will definitely use Assembly Squad in the future! Thank you Viktor! Thank you Ernesto!

Incredible job, used Assembly Squad both in 2014 and again this year in 2015. They helped build a large dresser, coffee table and complex bed frame and headboard set. Would recommend to anyone.

I used Assembly Squad this past weekend to put together a bed and a massive dresser, and couldn’t be happier with the service. I requested a quote on Thursday through the site and had an email with a time and cost estimate within an hour. We went back and forth on scheduling since it was pretty short notice for needing someone on Saturday, but they were really accommodating and were able to send someone within the timeframe that worked.
Tim was the guy who assembled everything and he did an awesome job. It took about an hour longer than initially estimated, but it was worth the wait.
In the end, if it’s going to take a professional 5 – 6 hours to assemble furniture, it would have taken me at least 3x longer, so definitely worth the cost. The cost, by the way, was actually a little cheaper than the three other companies I contacted.

Just yesterday Assembly Squad was at my house and assembled 3 pieces of Ikea furniture: a bed, vanity, and a tall dresser. THIS WAS SOME OF THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT. First, I contacted Assembly Squad on the weekend and was quoted a price within minutes. After accepting the price, I was immediately scheduled for Monday morning. How fabulous is that? I personally don’t think I could’ve put these items together, but even if I could have, it would’ve taken probably 5 times as long as AS did. And with a ton of frustration. I have told so many people about this great service and will continue to do so. I wish AS a ton of luck w/​their business as it’s a great one.

Buyer beware. We recently had Assembly Squad try to install our new kitchen. I started out with really high hopes. I felt I did my due diligence by checking references and oh how I was wrong. Viktor started out great but things quickly went down hill. I am not sure if it is because IKEA recently changed their kitchens but I basically had to have all of their work corrected. They did not level the cabinets correctly, they did not line up the doors and drawer cabinets correctly, they did not put in all the finished panels that they needed to, they told me I was missing the mechanisms to have soft close on my doors and I was not they were right in a pile of «extra» pieces that they left behind.
Ernesto and Viktor were argumentative throughout the process. Just plain unpleasant all the way around.
The contractor I had correct the work could not believe I paid them.
I really cannot express what a waste of time and money they were. If this review keeps one person from dealing with what we did then I have done my social duty. Look elsewhere.

Finally have a chance to write a review. Assembly Squad is hands down one of the best services. We originally hired them to put together some Ikea furniture — a desk, bookcases and 2 PAX wardrobes. Not the type of work for a couple of rookies. Viktor, handles all the scheduling and Peter is the contractor. Peter and Martin completed all the projects in a couple of hours. But we still wanted more.
After a very unsuccessful attempt to work with Ikea’s kitchen services, we turned to Assembly Squad again. They do more than just put stuff together. Peter helped us design the entire kitchen and completed a full gut renovation — from studs to finish. I’ve had the kitchen for almost a year and I still love it. You will not regret working with Assembly Squad for any project.

I can’t even begin to explain how Awesome my experience with Assembly Squad was. I contacted them early Saturday morning & they were able to send someone over Sunday morning. It took about 3 hours to build my wardrobe. Viktor called me in the middle of the project to make sure everything was well. He processed my payment on the phone & was so kind.
After my worker left, I noticed the base was a little down turned and I cracked it when I tried to move it. Viktor sent the guy back to my house to make sure the unit was ok; he moved it to another wall for me & mounted it.
I plan on using AS again in a couple months to install a bathroom sink & counter.

Vikor the boss man, was extremely easy to work with! Martin was prompt, professional, and pleasant! We definitely recommend their services. He also kept all the nails and screws in order during assembly, didn’t take up much space, and assembled our very difficult pieces much more quickly than id expected. I will never assemble anything myself ever again! See you soon guys!
