Professional furniture assembly costs $50 to $150 per piece, a normal range Angi and HomeAdvisor both publish with a $150 average per piece.12 Fixr separately publishes a $175 national average for assembling a queen-size wood bed frame, within a $150 to $200 national average range.3 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a 2026 guide updated September 2026, HomeAdvisor figures are from a 2025-data guide updated June 2026, and Fixr figures are from a guide updated January 2025. Your price depends on the item’s size and complexity, the number of pieces, and local labor rates.

The two tables price overlapping items at different points; they are kept as separately published figures rather than compared directly, except for the three matching rows noted above.
Cost by size
| Size | Angi (2026) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | $40 – $100 | $50 – $75 |
| Medium | $80 – $120 | $75 – $150 |
| Large | $100 – $350 | $125 – $200 |
| Extra-large | $150 – $450 | $150 – $500 |
Different figures per size band, kept as separately published figures rather than compared directly.
Cost by number of items
| Items | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 items | $100 – $1,000 | Angi (2026) |
| 3–4 items | $200 – $1,800 | Angi (2026) |
| 5–6 items | $350 – $2,700 | Angi (2026) |
| 7–8 items | $500 – $3,600 | Angi (2026) |
| 1 item | $50 – $80 | Fixr (2025) |
| 2 items | $90 – $145 | Fixr (2025) |
| 3 items | $130 – $210 | Fixr (2025) |
| 4 items | $165 – $265 | Fixr (2025) |
| 5 items | $185 – $315 | Fixr (2025) |
Angi’s rows cover mixed whole projects while Fixr’s illustrate a set of matching chairs, so the rows are kept separate rather than compared directly. On multi-item discounts, Angi quotes 10% to 30% off for bundling, Fixr describes 10% to 20% discounts on additional items, and HomeAdvisor gives an example of a second large piece adding $130 instead of doubling the price.
Cost by room (Fixr, 2025, labor only)
| Room | Cost |
|---|---|
| Outdoor | $50 – $500 |
| Kitchen | $50 – $500 |
| Office | $50 – $500 |
| Living room | $50 – $550 |
| Bedroom | $75 – $525 |
Hourly rates and job time
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | $40 – $140 per hour, averaging $90 | Angi/HomeAdvisor (matching) |
| Hourly rate | $50 – $100 per hour; about $75 for the first hour, usually lower after | Fixr (2025) |
| Chair (about 1 hour) | $50 – $100 | Fixr (2025) |
| Bed (about 2 hours) | $100 – $200 | Fixr (2025) |
| Large table (about 3 hours) | $150 – $300 | Fixr (2025) |
| Desk (about 4 hours) | $200 – $400 | Fixr (2025) |
| Entertainment center (about 5 hours) | $250 – $500 | Fixr (2025) |
| L-shaped desk (about 6 hours) | $300 – $600 | Fixr (2025) |
The hourly rows are separately published figures rather than compared directly. Angi and HomeAdvisor put most jobs at one to four hours, a standard bed at about two hours, and a swing set at six to ten hours; very large items may need a second worker, roughly doubling labor.
