Storage beds, drop leaves, and wall beds that are not a carton

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Small flats collect folding tables, storage beds and wall beds because the room has two jobs. The size guide says whether the open size still lets you pass. This page says which of those mechanisms already has a price. A storage bed or bunk in a carton is S$120 to S$200. A bed frame that does not store anything is S$80 to S$150. A carpenter platform with drawers built to a niche is quote on inspection on the platform page. Calling it a storage bed does not move it onto the carton row.

Hydraulic struts fail. A pair is S$180 to S$380 when a storage bed will not stay up. They are not added because a drawing shows a lift-up base. If the base does not lift, do not buy struts. If the piston is leaking on a bed you already own, send the photo. A new mechanism on a carpenter bed is quote on inspection, not that pair by default. A drop-leaf or extendable dining table is also quote on inspection. The slides and hinges inside a shop mechanism are that shop’s parts. We will not price “an extendable table” as four dining chairs. Re-covering four to six existing seats is S$240 to S$480. The mechanism is not the cloth.

A wall bed, a Murphy bed, or a loft that folds out of a wardrobe is the piece people hope will be a carton. If it is a product in a box with its own instructions and it is still that product, say so and expect a quote unless a printed assembly row matches the photo. We do not have a wall-bed band. If a carpenter is building the frame into the wall, the fixing is the question. Structure can take it. A hollow partition cannot. A household shelter wall is refused. If the job needs a new nib or a hacked opening, it is an HDB permit invoiced by V On Construction, not a bed extra. HDB’s renovation page and the fine of up to $5,000 apply when a renovation breaches the rules. BCA plan approval is the question if someone wants a new structural opening.

Under the mattress, moisture collects when a solid plinth is sealed to the floor or the bed sits on an outside wall in a shut room. That is not a strut fault. Leave a drying path. A black parquet patch under the bed is the floor page at S$250 to S$580 for 1 to 3 square metres when that matches. Do not store wet linen in the compartment and then blame the timber. A mouldy upholstered base is quote on inspection. It is not the headboard re-cover at S$380 to S$850 unless the photo is that built-in panel.

Multi-function fails when both uses need the same square metre. A dining table that is also a study blocks the bedroom door when it is open as a table. Draw both positions, including the chair. A sofa bed is not automatically the custom sofa quote and not automatically a clean. Say whether you want a new frame, a re-cover, or a clean at S$140 to S$280. An ottoman that stores blankets is quote on inspection unless it is a small flat-pack at S$50 to S$80.

Folding furniture still has to arrive. A wall bed in one frame can be the piece that will not enter the lift. The moving guide is that path. Building it in the room is quote on inspection. Curtains are not a folding strategy.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

1. Say carton storage bed, failed struts, drop-leaf, or wall bed.
2. Photograph whether the base lifts.
3. Draw the piece open and closed, with the door swings.
4. Mark the shelter wall before anyone designs a wall bed.
5. Do not seal the plinth to a damp floor.

The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.

A lid that slams on fingers is a stay or a hinge, and it is quote on inspection unless the photo is a gas strut pair on a storage bed. Do not use the bed strut price on a shoe-bench lid. The shoe-cabinet page is the entry piece. A small flat-pack shoe box is S$50 to S$80. A lid with a stay is not that box.

A bench that must be a bed at night is two sizes. Measure both. If one of them blocks the gate, it fails the size guide before it fails the mechanism.

We will not call a curtain a room divider. We will not price a transformer piece as two small items. We will not promise a wall bed is “permit free” because a showroom said so. The fixing decides.

We will not publish how many years a hydraulic stay lasts. When it fails, the photo decides between the strut row and a quote.

How you're charged

A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.

Who is allowed to do the work

The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.

• Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
• A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
• Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
• A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
• Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
• A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
• Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
• Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
• If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
• Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
• Do not seal a storage plinth to a damp floor. The void under the mattress still has to dry.

Cartons and failed struts are priced. Folding carpenter pieces are not.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection.
