IKEA Dresser & Chest Assembly in NYC — MALM, HEMNES, NORDLI, Anti-Tip Anchored
An IKEA dresser looks like a quick build — until the drawers don’t slide evenly, the back panel goes on crooked, or you remember that IKEA chests must be anchored to the wall to be safe. I’m an independent, owner-operated assembler in Brooklyn, and I build IKEA dressers and chests across NYC so the drawers run smooth, the frame sits square, and the unit is secured against tipping.
Drawer-runner alignment is where most DIY dressers fail: get it slightly off and the drawers drag or pop out. I set the runners correctly and anchor every dresser to the studs — a safety step IKEA requires and most people skip. Furnishing the whole bedroom? I also assemble IKEA beds and PAX wardrobes in the same trip.
3 Simple Steps
1. Book Your Dresser Assembly
Send the model (MALM, HEMNES, NORDLI…) and your neighborhood. I confirm a same-day or next-day slot and a flat, upfront price.
2. I Sort, Build & Align
I open and sort every part, build the carcass square, fit the back panel flush, and set each drawer runner so it glides — no dragging, no gaps.
3. Anchored & Safe
I anchor the dresser to the wall studs (included as standard for tip-over safety), test every drawer, and remove all packaging before I leave.
Which IKEA Dressers & Chests I Assemble
I assemble every IKEA chest of drawers, current and discontinued:
- MALM — 2, 3, 4 and 6-drawer chests and tall units (runner alignment done right)
- HEMNES — 3, 5, 6 and 8-drawer chests, solid wood
- NORDLI — modular stacking chests (leveling and module joining)
- KULLEN, KOPPANG, SONGESAND, IDANÄS — budget to premium chests
- BRIMNES & TYSSEDAL chests and glass/soft-close models
- Under-bed drawer units and small drawer towers (HELMER, ALEX)
Every dresser includes drawer-runner alignment, a square-and-flush check, and wall anchoring for anti-tip safety.
Why New Yorkers Choose Me for Dresser Assembly
✔ Anti-tip anchoring as standard
IKEA chests are required to be wall-anchored for safety. I do it on every job — especially important in homes with kids.
✔ Drawers that actually glide
I align every runner so drawers don’t drag, sag or fall out — the #1 complaint with self-assembled dressers.
✔ Modular NORDLI expertise
Stacking and joining NORDLI modules level and flush is fiddly. I do it cleanly.
✔ Same-day service in most of NYC
Often same or next day in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
✔ Flat, upfront pricing
Agreed before I start — no hourly meter.

IKEA Dresser Assembly — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IKEA dresser assembly cost in NYC?
A small chest like a MALM 3-drawer is quick and inexpensive; larger 6-drawer or HEMNES 8-drawer units and modular NORDLI runs take longer. Every dresser is quoted upfront before I start.
How long does a MALM 6-drawer dresser take?
Usually about 45–75 minutes including drawer alignment and wall anchoring. Smaller chests are faster; modular NORDLI setups take longer.
Do you anchor the dresser to the wall?
Yes, always. IKEA chests are required to be anchored for tip-over safety and I include it on every job — critical in homes with young children.
My drawers drag or fall out — can you fix that?
Yes. Mis-set drawer runners are the most common dresser problem. I can realign drawers on a unit you already assembled.
Can you assemble a used or partly-built IKEA dresser?
Yes. I finish partly-built chests and reassemble used ones, and can usually source missing standard IKEA hardware.
Can you come the same day?
Often yes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Call or text (929) 572-0068 for the soonest slot.
