Furniture assembly covers all flat-pack and ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture from IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Target, Costco, and other retailers. We assemble beds (including storage and bunk beds), dressers, bookcases, desks, entertainment centers, dining tables, wardrobes, outdoor furniture, and exercise equipment. Professional assembly ensures everything is square, tight, stable, and anchored to the wall when required for safety (all tall furniture per California law for child safety). We bring our own tools and hardware organizers, and we clean up all packaging materials.

Petaluma is located in Sonoma County (Wine Country). Historic river town with Victorian ironfront buildings and suburban growth. The local utility provider is PG&E.
