to wish that IKEA would have a seperate department

[SoleSource]

where their furniture could be assembled by staff for an extra fee.

If this sevice was available I guess it may be cheaper than hiring a handyman.

I have thrown the damn bookcase in the skip today, as my D.I.Y. sklls are shit, will not improve.

Last I looked they do offer this...

They do in Holland...check online. It costs tonnes though, a base rate and a percentage of the cost of the object.

I know here you can get handymen to do it, they always have ads on the DIY and tradesmen sites.

they do but it's not cheap!

They do offer this service. It's advertised in the back of the new catalogue.

Here - so ask in store. You are unreasonable for starting this post without doing some basic research

There are loads of businesses that do this, at least in the South East

I love putting Ikea furniture together and will happily do it for anyone for a bottle of wine

Me too, MrsMiniversCharlady. DH and I fight over it.

Oooh thank you for tbe link. Must be a new service.
