Furniture Assembly Service If Buying From Taobao

[Umaisarah 2]

I'm planning to buy a dining table from taobao. The design I have in mind will be quite heavy (marble top with pedestal base in solid wood). Have read up about how to order rom taobao (direct vs agent vs own FF) but my worry now is how do I assemble the table when it arrives coz most items are flat-packed right? I want to convince the hubster that ordering from China is no problem but if I tell him he has to assemble himself, for sure I kena scolding. So anyone got any lobang for good furniture assembly service? Or I can just call up handyman service to do the job? Anyone got experience to share?

I think I have a solution for you! So a brand I recently discovered actually let you rent furniture from them - Along with that they deliver to your address set it up and pick it up when you finish your rental package.

Its a win- win situation because you don't have to pay the full price for the furniture and 'hubby' doesn't have to assemble it himself.

Happy days. :-)
