Why IKEA Assembly in Lincoln Park Can Feel Like a Full-Time Job

If you live in Lincoln Park, chances are your apartment is beautiful but your time is limited. Between brunch at Summer House, catching shows at Steppenwolf, and long hours at work, the last thing you want to do is decipher IKEA's 48-page instruction manual just to build a MALM dresser.

And let’s be honest—those tiny Allen wrenches are a trap.

That’s where AssembleMount comes in.

We’re Chicago’s go-to service for IKEA assembly, helping Lincoln Park residents turn a pile of parts into polished perfection—fast.


🛠️ 5 Pro IKEA Assembly Tips from AssembleMount

Whether you're attempting this solo or calling in the pros, these tips will save you time, sanity, and maybe your thumbs.

1. Unbox Everything First

IKEA packs pieces in multiple layers. You don’t want to realize you're missing a part 2 hours in. Lay it all out like a puzzle before you start.

2. Sort Your Hardware

Use muffin tins or bowls to separate screws and dowels. IKEA loves mixing tiny parts, and it’s easy to mess up a cam lock.

3. Follow the Order

Don’t freestyle. IKEA’s steps are in a specific order for a reason—especially for beds and bookshelves. One skipped step = disassembly and redo.

4. Have the Right Tools

We love IKEA’s simplicity, but their tools aren’t pro-grade. A power drill with a clutch, a rubber mallet, and a real screwdriver will speed things up.

5. Anchor Tall Furniture

Lincoln Park kids and pets love climbing. Always use wall anchors with wardrobes and shelves—safety isn’t optional.
