What a great gig post looks like
"Need furniture assembled" gives giggers nothing to quote on — always name the specific items.
- Need furniture assembled
- IKEA stuff to put together
- Assembly help needed
- IKEA PAX wardrobe + 2× MALM — list all items
- Home gym setup: squat rack + bench + pull-up bar
- Office desk + 2 bookshelf units, Brampton townhouse
IKEA KALLAX + ALEX desk setup — 3-piece build — Kitsilano, Vancouver
Need an assembler for 3 IKEA items: 1× KALLAX 4×4 shelf, 1× ALEX 6-drawer unit, 1× Linnmon/Adils desk combo. All boxes are still sealed. I have all screws and hardware. Building has elevator access. Afternoon on weekday preferred.
Red flags when reviewing bids
Most giggers on bidToGig are excellent. But here are signs to watch for when choosing between bids.
Gigger has never mentioned assembling the specific brand/items in your post
IKEA PAX systems are very different from gym equipment. Verify they've done your specific type before.
Bid contains "I'll figure it out" or similar language
Assembly giggers should be confident with your items. Uncertainty during a bid becomes a 3-hour job.
No mention of tools
Professional assemblers bring their own drill and toolkit. Asking to use yours is unprofessional.
