2,500+ pieces assembled across LA. IKEA, Wayfair, West Elm, CB2, Article & Amazon experts. Same-day available. Flat-rate pricing from $49. 30-day warranty.
IKEA outsources their assembly to TaskRabbit. Here's why that's a problem — and why Angelenos choose us instead.
IKEA's TaskRabbit assembly charges $36-$49+ per item with hourly minimums. A PAX wardrobe can cost $200+ through IKEA's service. Zomg assembles the same PAX for a flat $149 — no hourly overages, no surprises.
IKEA's assembly is typically scheduled 3-7 days out. Zomg offers same-day assembly in most LA neighborhoods when you book before 11 AM. Your furniture doesn't sit in boxes while you wait.
TaskRabbit assigns random freelancers. Zomg's assemblers are specifically trained on IKEA systems — cam locks, wooden dowels, KALLAX inserts, PAX frame alignment. We've assembled thousands of IKEA pieces.
Unlike IKEA's service which only covers IKEA, Zomg assembles everything — Wayfair, Amazon, West Elm, CB2, Article, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and more. One call handles your entire home.
We wall-anchor every tall piece of furniture at no extra charge. Critical for earthquake safety in LA and required by California's child safety guidelines. TaskRabbit assemblers often skip this step.
If any drawer sticks, door misaligns, or hardware loosens within 30 days, we come back and fix it free. IKEA's outsourced assemblers typically offer zero warranty on their workmanship.
From the classic KALLAX shelf to the massive PAX wardrobe system, we know every IKEA product line inside and out. We've assembled over 1,200 IKEA items in Los Angeles alone. Common models we assemble weekly:
Online furniture from Wayfair, Amazon, and other retailers often comes with vague instructions and inconsistent hardware quality. Our assemblers are experienced with the unique challenges these brands present:

"Moved into my new apartment in DTLA and had 6 IKEA boxes to assemble — PAX wardrobe, MALM dresser, HEMNES nightstands, KALLAX shelf, and a BRIMNES bed. Zomg did everything in one afternoon for $349. TaskRabbit quoted me $500+ at hourly rates. Incredible value."
"I ordered a king bed frame from Wayfair that came with the worst instructions I've ever seen. The Zomg assembler took one look at the parts, recognized the manufacturer, and had it assembled perfectly in 50 minutes. He'd done the same frame a dozen times. That kind of experience matters."
"Used IKEA's own assembly service for a BESTA unit and the guy stripped two cam locks and left the doors misaligned. Called Zomg to fix it and they replaced the hardware, realigned everything, and wall-mounted it properly. Should have called them first. Never using IKEA's service again."
"As a real estate stager, I need furniture assembled fast and perfectly for showings. Zomg has been my go-to for over a year. They've done West Elm, CB2, Article, and IKEA pieces for me across 20+ properties. Always on time, always clean work. Absolute lifesaver."
"Booked at 9 AM for same-day assembly. Assembler was at my door by 2 PM. Built my new standing desk, office chair, and floating shelves in about 2 hours. Even ran the cable management system I bought separately. $199 total. This is how every service should work."
"My wife and I spent 3 hours fighting with our Pottery Barn Kids bunk bed and barely got the first rail up. Called Zomg in frustration and they came the next morning. Two guys had the entire thing built and wall-braced in 90 minutes. Worth every penny of the $179 we paid. Our sanity was saved."
We serve all of Los Angeles County and surrounding areas. Same-day service available in most locations.
