Requesting an IKEA assembly quote is the first step toward a hassle-free assembly. But how does it work exactly? What should you provide and what should you look for? In this article, we explain it step by step, so you receive a clear and fair quote.
Why request a quote?
Requesting a quote has several advantages:
- Clear price: you know exactly what the assembly costs upfront
- Comparison: you can compare prices from different companies
- No surprises: a good quote prevents hidden costs
- In writing: the agreements are documented
What should you provide when requesting a quote?
1. Which products you want assembled
Clearly indicate which IKEA products you want assembled. Think of cabinets, kitchens, furniture, or a combination.
2. The number of components
How many cabinets, drawers, shelves, or appliances need to be assembled? The more components, the higher the price.
3. The condition of the space
Is the floor already laid? Are the walls straight? A crooked floor or wall can slow down the assembly and increase the price.
4. Any additional work
Does pipework need to be relocated, a wall drilled, or old furniture removed? Clearly indicate this.
How does a quote request proceed?
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Request | You fill in the quote form with your details and wishes |
| 2. Assessment | The assembly company assesses your request |
| 3. Quote | You receive a clear price quote |
| 4. Agreement | You agree and schedule an assembly date |

What should you look for when comparing quotes?
Compare apples with apples
Don't just look at the price, but also at what is included. A cheaper quote may include less.
Check the fixed price
Preferably choose a quote with a fixed price. This prevents surprises afterwards.
Ask about warranty
Check whether the quote includes a warranty on the work. This protects you against faulty assembly.
Watch for hidden costs
Explicitly ask whether there are extra costs for travel, materials, or unforeseen work.
