Taobao furniture assembly, without a made-up import price

Autocomplete in Singapore pairs furniture assembly with Taobao as often as with IKEA. The cartons are larger, the manuals are sometimes a diagram with no words, and the fitting bags are easier to lose in a consolidation warehouse. None of that creates a Taobao surcharge on this site. If the piece is a bed frame, the row is S$80 to S$150. If it is a storage bed or a bunk, the row is S$120 to S$200. If it is a wardrobe, the row is S$100 to S$650. A small side table or a short shoe cabinet that really is a small item is S$50 to S$80. A wall-width TV console with no matching row is quote on inspection. Send the photo of the panel count, not the checkout screenshot from the app.

What does change is the condition on arrival. Singapore humidity and a week in a corridor will swell a raw particle-board edge. Cam locks then tear out. We will not force a swollen panel and call it assembled. If the board is soft, the visit stops at quote on inspection, because a repair of that panel is not in the assembly sentence. A kitchen carcass that is already in the flat and swollen from a leak is the cabinet repair page, S$280 to S$450 for a base section when that is the sink cabinet, not a Taobao wardrobe. Do not mix the two.

Smell is the other Taobao question. New board can off-gas. The treatment page prices a spot formaldehyde and VOC treatment of up to three new wardrobes, a nursery, or Taobao pieces at S$180 to S$280. A whole 3-room flat is S$300 to S$450 on that same page. Those are treatments. They are not proof the flat will read a particular number, and they are not included in the assembly band. Book them as a second line if you want them. SS 554 is the reference the treatment page already uses for formaldehyde. This page does not add a new limit.

Anchoring still matters. A tall Taobao wardrobe tips the same way a tall IKEA wardrobe tips. The assembly page says tall units are wall-anchored on the same visit. A household shelter wall is refused. A condo MCST may want to know about drilling into a structural wall or a facade. Interior fixings into a bedroom wall are usually the ordinary handyman path. The drilling page is the one to read if the wall is tile or if you are unsure what is behind the paint. We do not publish a per-hole rate. IKEA publishes a per-hole note for its own drilling. That is not our hole price.

We do not buy from Taobao for you, and we do not quote the freight. If the delivery crew left the boxes in the wrong room, shifting them before assembly can be the within-home moving page, which is quote on inspection unless a published transfer row actually matches. A shelf taken down and refitted at a second address is S$30 to S$55. That is a move between homes, not a slide from the hall to the bedroom. Disposal of a mountain of foam and cartons is not the assembly band either. Say if the town-council bulky path is what you need for an old sofa the new Taobao piece is replacing.

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. Photograph the panel stack and the fitting bag.
2. Do not assemble a swollen edge and then ask us to redo it inside the same band.
3. Say if you also want the spot treatment for smell.
4. Keep the old sofa out of the assembly price. Disposal is separate.
5. Expect a printed row or quote on inspection.

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

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.
• Open one carton and photograph the fitting bag before the visit. A missing cam lock is the thing that turns a bed row into a second trip.

Marketplace of origin is not a column in the price table. Condition is.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
