How the boxes get built
1 / 4
Name the pieces
Write Pax, Malm, a crib, whatever is in the boxes, plus the floor and your budget. A snapshot of the labels saves a question later.
An assembler near you takes the job
Your post goes to people who build furniture around NC State and across Raleigh, one at a time, until one accepts it. Posted late at night, it goes out in the morning.
A quick call about the boxes
The assembler who accepts it is asked to call within 30 minutes, with questions about stairs, the elevator and tools. If no call comes, the next assembler is offered the job.
Build day and price, settled
Pick when they come and what it costs, per piece or by the hour. Pay the assembler directly once you have both said yes.

What to put in the post
- The item names, or a photo of the boxes. Pax, Malm, Billy and Kallax each take their own time.
- How many pieces. Two items in one visit cost less than two visits.
- Which floor, and whether there is an elevator.
- Whether the boxes should go to the curb. Cardboard is recycling, every other week, not a bulky load (City of Raleigh, October 2026).
- When, and your budget.
