IKEA and particle board on a Kansas City stair
Cam locks fail. A walk-up is not a showroom. How particle board sits on a Kansas City stair — we will not guarantee it. Not the assembly page and not antiques.
What we will not assemble is IKEA as a rebuild. Furniture that will not turn is a sofa on a landing. Beds and disassembly is a frame we wrote. Antique furniture and old glue is the next page. This page is particle board on a stair: cam locks, a walk-up, a dresser that was never meant for three flights. We will not guarantee it. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A surprise wall of cubbies is how that number moves. We do not publish an IKEA fee here. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].
What particle board does on a flight
- Empty the drawers — weight plus cam locks is how a side blows out — packing a bedroom
- A walk-up is people, not a showroom — walk-ups, stairs and tight turns
- Wet treads make it worse — rain plan for a walk-up
- House dollies stop at the first tread — how we use dollies
- We will not reassemble a failed cube as a default — what we will not assemble

Frequently asked questions
Will you carry it assembled?
Empty it first. We will not guarantee particle board on a walk-up. A split side is still the clock.
Is this the assembly page?
That page is what we will not put back together. This page is board on a stair. Read both.
In boxes from the store.
Say so. Flat packs on a four-wheel are easier than an assembled dresser on three flights.
It broke last time.
Say so in photos. We would rather refuse a flight than glue a cam on the landing.
Antique next to the IKEA.
Old glue is the next page. Particle board is this page. Different failure.
Empty the drawers. Send the stair.
Two ZIP codes and whether the IKEA is assembled. We will write a walk, not a guarantee on a cam lock.
