Furniture assembly in Fawkner
Tradie at Door is based in Fawkner, so when a wardrobe, bed or desk arrives flat-packed at a home near Bonwick Street, Major Road or the Merri Creek end of the suburb, we are not far away. We assemble furniture to the manufacturer’s instructions so it sits square, the doors line up and the hardware goes where it was designed to go.

What we put together
We build most flat-pack items that come with instructions and a full hardware pack. Leave the cartons sealed; we unpack them on the day, sort the fittings and work through the steps in order.
- Sliding and hinged wardrobes
- Bed frames, bunks and headboards
- Desks, drawer units and home-office storage
- Bookcases, shelving and TV units
Anchoring tall units in Fawkner homes
Tall wardrobes and bookcases should be anchored so they cannot tip. In Fawkner’s established brick homes that can mean masonry fixings; in newer dwellings it usually means finding the framing behind the plasterboard. Older homes (often built before about 1950) may have lath and plaster walls and newer ones plasterboard, so each house is checked on site.
We fit the anti-tip hardware supplied with the unit where the wall and the furniture allow it. If we cannot find a safe fixing point, we will tell you rather than leave a weak anchor in place.
Bought it nearby?
Picked up flat-pack shelving or storage at Bunnings Coburg on Gaffney Street? We can assemble it and install it for you. The same goes for furniture from any other retailer, built to the instructions supplied. Store names are for location reference only; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
If the hardware pack turns out to be incomplete, we stop rather than improvise a fitting that could fail later, and we let you know what is missing so you can chase it with the retailer.
Several pieces, one visit
Moving in usually means more than one carton. Send the whole list on the form, with photos of the boxes or the instruction covers, and say which pieces matter most so the visit can start with those. Packaging tidy-up is agreed when quoting.
For a lounge setup, include TV wall mounting for the same room in the job list, with the TV model and a photo of its intended wall.
FAQs
Do I need to unpack the boxes before you arrive in Fawkner?
No. Leave them sealed and clear some floor space in the room where each piece will stay.
Can you anchor a wardrobe to a brick wall?
Yes, where the wall and the unit are suitable. We use fixings to suit brick or plasterboard and fit the supplied anti-tip hardware.
Are you connected with any store or furniture brand?
No. We assemble furniture bought from any retailer. Tradie at Door is not affiliated with any store or furniture brand.
What do you need for a quote?
A list of the items, your street, and photos of the boxes or instruction covers. Add a photo of the wall if anything needs anchoring.
Can you put the shelving up on the wall once it is built?
Yes. Wall-mounted shelving is fixed after the wall is checked on site, with fixings to suit brick or plasterboard. Mention it on the form so suitable fixings come with us.
