What wardrobe assembly involves
Wardrobe assembly needs a scope that matches the actual items and both locations. Confirm who provides packing materials, who handles lifting and where the work ends at the destination.

What affects the price of wardrobe assembly
The amount of work is the starting point. For wardrobe assembly, a longer carry, tight stairs, extra packing or a second trip can change the time and materials needed.
- Volume and weight of items
- Travel distance and time
- Stairs, elevators and parking access
- Crew size, equipment and protective materials
- Storage or extra stops, if needed
Choosing a mover and confirming the scope
Ask for a written estimate based on your inventory. Check which tasks are included, when the clock starts and stops, what coverage applies and how unexpected work is approved.
- Is this binding, non-binding, or hourly with a minimum?
- When does the clock start and stop?
- What coverage do my belongings have if something is damaged?
- Are there charges for stairs, long carries or heavy items?
- Do you use your own crew, or subcontract?
- For long moves, is delivery a fixed date or a window?
