Just moved to the Netherlands? How to get your IKEA furniture assembled
An empty flat, an IKEA order and no tools at home. Here is how to make your home liveable quickly.
If you have just moved to the Netherlands, you often furnish an entire home in one go. Order your furniture from IKEA, have it delivered to your door and ask an assembler to build everything in a single appointment. With PaxMonteur, you arrange the quote and appointment in Dutch or English, receive a fixed price upfront from € 79 and only pay afterwards by card, payment request or bank transfer.
What is useful to know about Dutch homes?
- Many flats have a narrow, steep staircase and no lift. Large wardrobes are therefore built in the room itself.
- Ceilings are often around 240 to 260 cm high. Measure this before you order a tall wardrobe.
- Interior walls are often made of plasterboard. This requires special wall plugs for wall fixings.
- If you rent your home, ask whether you are allowed to drill into the walls.
How to arrange it in three steps
Send your order list or a screenshot of your basket via the form or WhatsApp. You will receive a fixed price by email. We will then schedule a time, usually within a few working days.
You do not need to have any tools. The assembler brings everything.
Everything in one appointment
Having your bed, wardrobe, desk and sofa assembled on the same day is better value than separate appointments. Read how to plan this in our article on having a complete bedroom assembled.
