Independent assembly service, not affiliated with IKEA.
Pricing & quotes
What does IKEA assembly cost at Montage Vandaag?
The price depends on the type, size and complexity, and is set up front based on your IKEA planner or order — no hourly rate. As a guide (incl. VAT): a standard PAX has a fixed guide price from €249, a complete kitchen assembly from approx. €999, and large or complex kitchens rise to approx. €2.999+ or are quoted to measure. Share your design and you receive a non-binding exact fixed quote up front.
Why a fixed price instead of an hourly rate?
A fixed price means you know exactly what you pay. If the job takes longer than expected (unforeseen wall or plumbing issues), that risk is on us, not you. With an hourly rate, you pay for those extra hours.
How do I get a quote?
Send us your IKEA planner link, order number or product link via the quote form on the homepage, along with your postcode and preferred date. You receive a fixed quote within one business day.
Is VAT included in the price?
Yes, all quoted prices include 21% VAT. On request we send a business-formatted invoice for individuals or companies.
How do I pay?
After completion via bank transfer or iDEAL based on the invoice. No deposit for standard jobs; large kitchen projects may require a deposit — this is explicitly stated in the quote.
Scheduling & service area
How quickly can you come?
Most jobs are scheduled within 48 hours. During peak periods (weekends, holidays) it can take a bit longer.
Where do you work?
We work from Amsterdam across the whole Randstad: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Haarlem, Almere, Zaandam, Delft, Purmerend and surroundings. For Eindhoven and beyond a travel surcharge may apply — request a quote to confirm.
Can you come evenings or weekends?
Yes, by agreement we also work evenings and weekends. Some time slots carry a small surcharge.
What if IKEA delivers late?
We schedule the assembly only after you confirm the IKEA delivery has arrived. If IKEA is late on the day itself, we reschedule at no extra cost to the next available slot.
How the day goes
How long does assembly take?
Rough guide: PAX 2-4 hours, bathroom vanity 2-3 hours, BILLY/KALLAX 1-3 hours, complete METOD kitchen 4-8 hours. Larger or complex jobs can take longer — we flag this in the quote.
Do I need to be home?
It is convenient to be present at start and hand-over (or someone on your behalf with the keys). During the actual assembly you do not need to stay.
Do you remove the cardboard?
We leave your home clean and stack the cardboard neatly. Full disposal to the recycling centre is a separate option on request (small surcharge for transport).
Do you secure cabinets to the wall?
Yes, anti-tip is mandatory for tall cabinets (PAX, BILLY, HEMNES) and we always fit it. We inspect the wall type (brick, plasterboard, aerated concrete) beforehand and use the correct plugs.
IKEA products
Which IKEA products do you assemble?
Practically the full IKEA range: kitchens (METOD, SEKTION), wardrobes (PAX, HASVIK, KOMPLEMENT), bathroom (GODMORGON, HEMNES, ENHET), bookcases (BILLY, KALLAX), wall units (BESTÅ), beds, desks and tables. Not sure? Send us the link.
Do you also assemble non-IKEA furniture?
Our focus is IKEA, where we are fastest. Similar flat-pack furniture (Leen Bakker, Kwantum, HEMA) we do on request — send a quote request with photos of the manual.
Can you install an IKEA kitchen end-to-end, including plumbing?
Kitchen assembly (frames, doors, worktop, connecting the sink and tap to existing plumbing) is us. Installing new water lines or gas connections requires a certified plumber/installer — we can recommend one on request.
If something goes wrong
What if something gets damaged during the assembly?
We work carefully, but if something is damaged (e.g. a door frame, laminate), we discuss it with you on the spot and find a solution together.
What if an IKEA part is missing or broken?
IKEA manufacturing defects or missing parts go through IKEA customer service — you usually get a replacement within a few days. We assemble what we can and come back at no cost for the missing part, provided within two weeks.
Do you offer a warranty on the assembly?
On our assembly work we offer a 12-month warranty for visible defects caused by installation (e.g. door misalignment, loose screws). IKEA's own manufacturing warranty on the product remains in place alongside this.
Can I file a complaint?
Yes. Send us a message via the contact form or email with photos and a short description. We reply within one business day and work towards a fair resolution.
