I have used this company before for a move and they were great, unfortunately the second time it's been a horrible. I reached out to them back in June to schedule their services for our upcoming move August 1st. Sam went over pricing, return customer discounts etc and we emailed back and forth several times. He collected the move details (even had me select a time window for the move etc) and I asked over and over to let me know what else is needed to confirm our move and he sent me a question form asking additional details which I sent back to him and that was that. Flash forward to yesterday, I had reached out to confirm our move after looking back in my emails from the last time we used them and seeing they had sent me an official confirm and confirm number (none of which Sam sent me) to make sure I was good to go. Of course, as I feared they did not have my reservation even though I emailed Sam multiple times asking if anything else was needed to confirm our reservation. I was told by the gentlemen on the phone that Sam would be contacting me to sort this out and that because I didn't pay a deposit (a deposit I was never asked for by the way, how am I supposed to know as the customer that a deposit is what he needed to put me on their calendar if he didn't freaking tell me that) that they were all booked up and would most likely not be able to move us. I called them and emailed them all day (I was told managers, owners etc would be calling me to figure out options and help and not one person ever called me back) I had to call them every time and was ping ponged around and given "call back in an hour" over and over. So I called end of day at 5 (they close at 7) and their phones were shut off... and have been off still up until this point and not a single response to any of my emails. Btw we booked movers because I am recovering from breaking 5 bones in my foot and would not be able to move our stuff safely with a half broken foot. So now here we are 4 days from our move with zero help or resolution or options from this company, never heard from a single manager or the owner like I was told I would, and had to scramble to book a moving truck ourselves and will have to move my house with a broken foot because of their lack of follow up and scheduling error. We reached out to other movers in the area all of which, of course , are booked since this is so last minute which is really upsetting. Also, I noticed after calling them all day yesterday and today, they managed to change their address on yelp and their website to reflect Glendale CA when it said Pleasant hill CA (and are a Bay Area company) between the Time we booked in June and yesterday while I was playing phone tag with their employees. Not sure what that's all about. I understand times are hard right now but I received ZERO customer service, answers to my questions, or a resolution or options to make this right as I have an email thread with Sam confirming my reservation and the error of not having it on calendar or a deposit collected was their fault not mine. Their quality of service has gone downhill and seriously declined from the first time we used them to today. Horrible way to treat someone who was calm and nice considering the situation and just asking for their help figuring out a way to make things work. Unreal. read more

Sean saved me again today. My boyfriend and I tried to assemble two Gallant file cabinets yesterday and got into a big fight (it didn't help that he was pretty drunk). Today, Sean came in and built them in 1.5 hours and I didn't have to kill or break up with my boyfriend. Thanks, Sean. Doing business with Sean is a pleasure. I will definitely use his business again. read more

One last thing before I crash after a most stressful week at work; Open house, deadlines, need for a BIG fantastic display on a budget and no hands or volunteers or bitches to assemble the core of the display. OnSite is recommend by IKEA! One blessing was the flashing of their contact info when I got to the 'home delivery desk' to ask a few quesitons. I gave them a call while I was at Ikea, sitting in a piece of lawn furniture at 7:30 pm. They returned my call right after I left a detailed vm about the 3 pieces I'd purchased. Leaving a message with the detailed item codes will result in an accurate estimate of cost. I used all one line of product, so it was easy to summarize as Ikea has print outs of all of their major lines. In my case all Expedit. I had to change my appointment with OnSite because I didn't get the preferred delivery time i wanted (shocker, more on Ikea home delivery in another review), but it was all good, they set, then flexibly changed my appointment time. They called me back the day prior, confirmed their appointment, came when they said they would, worked efficiently and quietly, and totally got everything done in a timely and affordable manner. Seriously these guys saved my A-S-S and I really appreciate the work that they did for me. While Ikea is cheap, it's all of the shortcuts they take that cut their costs- if you don't have the patience, skill set, or time, call OnSite. They will get the job done. Thank you Sean and Gary!! read more

OnSite assembly service is top-notch! Called them up, got a quick and accurate estimate, and same week appointment. When Gary arrived, he was on time, professional, and did a great job. He paid attention to detail and made sure to get everything right. I have no fear that my bed is going to suddenly collapse from under me because of one misplaced screw. Sean came later in the day to finish up and he was also on time, professional, and detailed. He made sure that my ladder shelves were securely attached to the wall and even helped out with clearing out the boxes and debris. They're also friendly without being pushy and we shared some good laughs during the five hours they were here. They work hard and truly care about doing a good job. I would definitely recommend them!! read more

I asked Ikea Emmeryville for an Assembly Service contact and one of the cards they gave me was from Onsite Assembly. I sent an email first to Shawn to ask for a quotation, and he was kind enough to give me one. I want to schedule the assembly on a weekend,but since it's a bit short noticed, Shawn offered to do it on a monday night. Shawn and his partner are very professional and they assembled the complicated furnitures smoothly. I live in an apartment and good thing they work pretty quiet so it didn't bother my neighbors. good job guys! contact them at onsite.furniture@gmail.com / 415-572-1206 read more

I called Shawn yesterday and he agreed to helping resolve a problem with one of my major clients! Thank you for your great responsiveness! Linda read more

This company kept changing the date to move me. On the third day, they were suppose yo come btwn 8:30-9:30am. After 9:30, my daughter called them and they said they blew a head gasket yesterday and they would be done fixing it in 20 min. They never called me to tell me they were not coming. I would not recommend this company to anyone! read more

Due to poor planning, we needed a filing cabinet from Office Depot assembled immediately. We called Sean and he was able to come the next morning to save the day. He did a great job, was super friendly and professional, and did what would have take us ~4 hours in just over 1 hour. All in all, an awesome experience. read more

I found Onsite and Shawn on Yelp, and hired him to put together and install a bunch of IKEA furniture for clients of mine, and he and his guy did a fantastic job. As the designer on the project - managing several installations and contracting crews at the same time - there was some lack of communication on my part about a couple of items and on how debris should be disposed of. Shawn was completely professional about working through some design details with me, about returning to resolve a misunderstanding, and comped the clients on an additional item they had received in the interim. His work is great, he's very fair, and his prices are very competitive. Wholeheartedly recommend him! read more

Sean helped our company put together 40 L desks, 12 conference tables and numerous chairs about 5 months ago. We have not had any issues with our furniture and the price was great for the volume that we had. Our company had just moved and he handled this volume like a professional. I would recommend OnSite again and again. Sean is a great communicator, very patient and very professional. If you are busy and want the job done right the first time, scroll to the top of the page and call this number now. read more

I usually like to go the DIY route. But after purchasing a fairly gigantic Pax system closet from Ikea, I realized that I was going to need a little bit of help. Ikea gave me a stack of business cards for furniture assembly, among them was Onsite. Not only was my closet assembled efficiently and beautifully, but I was also blessed by the company of an extremely kind soul. I highly recommend them! read more

I can't seem to find a phone number that works for this company. I tried the number listed here, and also did 411 (which gave the same number) and it seems that it is disconnected. The message says, "The number you have dialed is incorrect, please check the number and try again". This makes me sad, as I could really use reliable help. read more

Adding my voice of support for Sean's excellent assembly work - on time, easy to deal with, completed the work as specified and for the agreed cost. Now that's a job well done. read more

The best furniture assembly I have ever had. Sean is first of all very kind, very experienced and very professional.He has an extreme attention to detail and asks great questions. He helped me put together multiple complex furniture pieces in such a short time. He is incredibly fast and tidy. What a gem!!!! I will be doing all my furniture assembly with this company. I am highly satisfied!!! read more

Shawn was on time and very professional and efficient. Even came back another day to finish up more work for us which was not priorily agreed on. Will very likely ask his service again! read more

I found this company on Yelp and didn't really know what to expect. I certainly had a need, which was.. This assembly stuff is complicated, and before I attempt this project potentially causing damage to the goods, I should conduct a search and see if there's a company who can help. Which brings me to this review: The quote was $140 for the entire project, which I thought was high. However after the guys at On Site Assembly spent nearly 2plus hours on-site (no pun intended) pulling all this together, I shortly realized the pricing was more than fair! Shawn was EXTREMELY polite, professional, punctual, and performed an excellent job. I actually enjoyed his company! Here's the takeaway: If you have assembly work.. Bite the bullet, hire this company to come out and do it. They're GREAT, and personally money well spent! I would certainly use them on all assembly work moving forward! read more

Shawn scheduled within a couple of days of our call. Came out when promised, worked quickly and efficiently, and took on additional project without hesitation. Shawn generated invoice on the spot, took payment, and deal done. Well worth the cost, and we would hire Sean again. read more

Fantastic. Punctual, professional and friendly, these guys are the perfect solution for anyone who doesn't have the time or skill to assemble furniture. Yes even IKEA furniture is more or less idiot-proof, but if you're like me and can't really imagine yourself putting a sofa bed together, then these guys will totally make your day! They quoted an hour assembly and that's exactly how long it took them. Affordable and well worth it - plus no hassle on my end save answering the door when they arrived. Thank you OnSite! read more

These folks completely saved me! I had a giant heavy piece of furniture downstairs at my office and couldn't get anyone in the company to move it for over 3 months. I finally gave up and came to Yelp. They were professional and fast, as well as really safe and polite and nice. In under an hour they took the piece apart, brought it up a tricky set of stairs, re-assembled it and put it right where it needed to go. I can't imagine trying to do this by myself or with amateurs. Completely worth it - saved me a headache and a backache! read more

I made the awful mistake of going on Craigslist to get a custom TV stand/dresser assembled, and my new furniture ended up being partially destroyed, and damaged. That night I left a message for Sean, and 8am the next morning he called, and was at my house at 2pm the same day. Fixed everything and assembled it correctly. Sean is a first class human-being, that does a first class job. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere and do it right with him the first time. read more

I ordered a Geek Desk and was away on vacation when they came to assemble it. I was told by my employees that they were efficient and really pleasant. I came back to an amazing desk which was expeditiously built and the cost was beyond reasonable. I truly recommend their services. read more

I hired OnSite to assemble a whole bedroom full of IKEA furniture and it was the best decision! Everything was handled in a super professional manner - from the phone call to make the appointment to the actual job. OnSite even hung a couple of shelves for me. The final invoice was exactly what was quoted and the team was in and out in 3 hours (and they assembled a bed, three shelves and a table). I would recommend OnSite to anyone! read more

Onsite was terrific, quick, straight forward, reasonably priced, and efficient. There are few services that are as simple and helpful, I highly recommend them! read more

We bought some cabinets from IKEA and didn't realize they come in a thousand pcs. Rather than spending 10 hours, we decided to hire a pro that is familiar with the IKEA crap. We found Sean on here and gave him a call. he was ery personable over the phone and we decided to go with him. Sean was very friendly, prompt, on time, and quick. The price was very reasonable and the job was well done. Definitely recommend. read more

I was having new carpet installed in my bedroom and had a bear of a bed that needed to be disassembled, then reassembled after the installation. Sean replied to my request quickly, set up two appointments for me, and - get ready for this - arrived EARLY for both . He was able to quickly take the bed apart and put it back together. He helped me move the bed frame before and after my carpet installation and even offered to help me move my mattress back in the bedroom, too. I highly recommended Sean and OnSite. read more

This company was a life saver. Here are the full details on why: I bought an L desk online and needed it assembled because it was a too much of a beast to do on my own. I got a quote from OnSite and they actually had been my first choice due to the positive reviews but I ended up going with an assembly guy that my partner had used a few times. Shawn at OnSite even followed up his quote with a phone call to see if I wanted to schedule but I told him I was going with another guy. Big mistake. The guy came and after unboxing all of the desk pieces declared that the instructions were wrong and that pieces were missing. I thanked him for his time and immediately called Shawn at Onsite to see if they could come any time soon. This was a Wednesday; Shawn said he could have a person out on Friday. I was grateful since it was short notice plus I'd passed them over once already. That Friday Gary from OnSite arrived. He was about 15 minutes late but he called to let me know and it wasn't a big deal. He got started on the desk by telling me that the directions that the previous guy said was wrong were actually directions for the hutch that goes with the desk. The previous guy hadn't unpacked the right directions, and even hadn't unpacked all of the pieces but Gary was able to figure it on within minutes of getting started. He also let me know that the previous fellow had put some of the pieces in wrong and that it could cause some cosmetic damage when he removed them. I appreciated him letting me know instead of just moving forward and hoping I wouldn't notice. Then came a bigger mistake. During the assembly of the hutch Gary accidentally messed up one of the wall sides; it didn't interfere with function but it did look pretty awful. He was extremely apologetic and let me know that either I could have a discount on assembly or they'd buy me a whole new desk. Since I was already behind due to the first guy not being able to put it together we worked it out and instead he agreed to assemble another smaller piece of furniture for no extra charge. Toward the end of assembly Gary went to a nearby store for some black tape to cover the area of the hutch wall that he'd messed up. He patched it up so that it looked much better, which he technically didn't have to since we already agreed on a second furniture assembly. Furthermore, my original quote was for 2.5 hours. I thought this time span was a little low considering that reviewers of the desk said it took around 4 hours to put together. With the slight obstacles and two breaks (one to get tape) it actually became a 5 hour project. Nevertheless I was kept at the 2.5 hour quote, which I of course appreciated. So with all that, I would definitely use OnSite again and would recommend them for any assembly projects. Both Shawn and Gary were professional and exhibited great customer service. I may have made the mistake of not choosing them the first time, but it's a mistake I won't make again. read more

Shawn arrived on time and went straight to work. He put the Ikea bed together within the estimated three hours. It was so worth the money.

Shawn rocks. Super cool and friendly. He put together a Hemnes day bed for us in just under 2 hours. It would have taken my girlfriend and I at least 4 hours...and that's just deciphering the all-too-familiar- IKEA picture only instructions. We suck at playing charades so we got Shawn on the job. It's been several hours since he put it together for us and it hasn't internally combusted when our cat climbed on top. strong work shawn! =p read more

Shawn assembled a large Ikea laundry cabinet. He replied to my inquiry for a quote quickly. It was easy to schedule, and the furniture is put together perfectly! He anchored the super tall cabinet into the wall, which I'm grateful for. If I'd put it together, I probably would've been exhausted and skipped this super important step. I'd use his services again. read more

Very happy I called OnSite to build my IKEA furniture. I received professional, friendly, and prompt service. Even though I left a voicemail on Sunday afternoon, Sean called to schedule an appointment for Monday. He brought his own tools and was very familiar with the furniture. From start to finish was about 35 minutes. He even provided instructions on how to transform the furniture from sofa to sleeper. I would definitely call OnSite for future furniture assembly needs. read more

Absolutely wonderful and professional service. Shawn was punctual and extremely helpful. The time I saved was well worth the money I spent.

All I can say is OFA wins hands down! Sean is the most friendly, efficient, strong and clean professional I have ever met. He is very prompt with returning phone calls and scheduling appointments. He knows his job inside out, and he also takes the extra effort of cleaning after himself! He leaves the apartment spic and span. What more can I ask for?He assembled the entire Pax kompliment wardrobe system (that were left haphazardly and poorly done by Dynamex) in only 30 mins. He put together the Ikea bed frame with storage with equal ease! Go east, go west, OFA and Sean is the best! read more

Shawn Latourelle of Onsite is excellent! I was a half hour late buzziing him upstairs and he was very forgiving and patient. He built a fairly big tv stand in less than an hour, he brought his own tools, and he helped me set up the acoustics (not in job description) and power strips. All at a reasonable price. Thanks Shawn. read more

On Site Furniture Assembly delivers as promised. All communications were punctual and professional. Sean and company assembled 6 - 39" PAX systems in two small bedrooms. They were professional, efficient and knowledgeable through out the job. They were nice to work with and reasonable in price. I would use them again and can highly recommend them. read more

Shawn is fantastic!! Ikea accidentally paired us with a company that did not do installation and recommended that we contact OnSite. Shawn was professional and responsive. He knows Ikea furniture like the back of his hand and his estimates for how long it would take to assemble a particular piece were spot on. We bought five rooms of furniture (yea, our whole house) and Shawn made it a painless assembly experience. I cannot recommend him highly enough, professional, on time, accurate, friendly and very reasonable prices - we thought it was a great deal. Call now!!!! read more

After my friends and families told me stories of spending hours putting together, and then re-putting together Ikea furniture, I realized that putting together an 8 drawer Ikea dresser would challenge my limited spatial skills. I found Sean here and emailed him after reading all the good reviews. He was every bit as good as his review- prompt, courteous, efficient, pleasant and personable. It couldn't have been easier or more straightforward. He saved me many hours of frustration and misery! read more

I have called Onsite twice for help assembling furniture - once for a platform bed, and once for 2 glass cabinets with hinged doors. Shawn is on time, professional, and does excellent work. Worth every penny, and highly recommended. read more

We refer OnSite to our customers in the SF area. Shawn is always friendly and ready to help!

Faced with putting together several pieces from Ikea, including a challenging and heavy office cabinet, I turned to Yelp to find some help. Based on his reviews and website, I emailed OnSite Furniture Assembly. Sean was very responsive and he was able to provide a quote and schedule a time over email. He knew exactly what pieces I had and quoted about how long it would take to build each. He confirmed the appointment by phone and even arrived early. I was in and out of the office while Sean worked, but I enjoyed our interaction and appreciated his friendly and professional demeanor. When we discovered that the desk had the wrong frame, he helped me determine the correct size and made sure I knew how to put it together once I got the correct frame. He helped me gather up the cardboard and trash, leaving the space clean. I will reach out to Sean any time I don't have the time or patience to assemble furniture! read more
