West Elm Dresser & Nightstand Assembly in London
A West Elm dresser is mostly drawers, and drawers are where an assembly goes wrong: runners a few millimetres out, fronts that do not line up, a carcass that is not square. A vetted JACK pro builds it carefully, fits the anti-tip kit and adjusts every drawer, for a fixed price before you book.
In short
Yes. A vetted JACK pro in London builds West Elm chests of drawers, dressers and bedside tables, aligns every drawer front and fixes the anti-tip kit to your wall. Where West Elm includes an anti-tip kit, as with the Gemini 6-Drawer Dresser, its listing highly recommends fitting it, and the pro picks the plugs that suit your wall. Fixed price before you book.
Send the product link and a photo of where it is going. Mention if it goes on carpet or against a skirting board, because both affect levelling and wall fixing.

West Elm dressers & chests pros put together
Each guide covers how the piece arrives, what the build involves and what to send before booking.
Mid-Century 6-Drawer Dresser assembly
The 142 cm Mid-Century chest of drawers: six drawers aligned and the piece fixed to the wall.
Mid-Century 3-Drawer Dresser assembly
The 91 cm Mid-Century 3-drawer chest: listed as assembly required, built and anchored.
Anton 6-Drawer Dresser assembly
The 157 cm solid-wood Anton chest: minimal assembly, legs fitted, levelled and anchored.
Gemini 6-Drawer Dresser assembly
The lacquered Gemini chest: built on blankets so the finish is not marked, then anchored.
Mid-Century Closed Bedside Table assembly
The two-drawer Mid-Century bedside table: assembly required, built alongside the bed.
Mid-Century Wall-Mounted Bedside Table fitting
The floating Mid-Century bedside table: fixed to the wall level, at the right height for the bed.
What dresser assembly covers
On a West Elm dresser, chest or nightstand the pro will:
- Build the carcass square, so every drawer runs true
- Fit runners and drawers, then adjust the fronts until the gaps are even
- Fit handles and knobs, tightened by hand so the finish is not marked
- Level the piece on carpet or an uneven floor
- Fix tall chests and dressers to the wall with the anti-tip kit and plugs that suit your wall
How West Elm assembly is priced
A vetted pro prices your piece from the product link and a photo of the room, and the JACK app shows you that fixed price before you book.
The design moves the price far more than the size. A side table with screw-in legs is a short job. A solid-wood bed with a slatted base, a six-drawer dresser with runners to align, or a sectional sofa whose pieces clip together is a much longer one. Send the product link or a screenshot of the order so the price is for the piece you bought.
Several pieces from one delivery, such as a bed, two nightstands and a dresser, go on one booking for one price. Pieces from other shops can go on the same visit. Where parking has to be paid for, it is added at cost and agreed before you book.
Prefer to pay for the pro's time? Hourly hire works too: as a guide, furniture assembly is typically £35–£75 per hour. For a big delivery, a full-day handyman booking often suits: a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
How it works
Step 1
Share the piece and the room
Paste the West Elm product link or a screenshot of your order (not delivered yet? the link is enough to price from) and add a photo of the room. Mention stairs, a lift or a tight turn on the landing.
Step 2
See the price, pick a slot
A vetted pro prices the build from what you sent. Book once you are happy with the price, choosing a slot after your delivery date; evenings and weekends are available when pros have them.
Step 3
Built, checked, handed over
Parts are counted first, the piece is built and levelled, drawers and doors adjusted, tall pieces anchored and the packaging flattened for recycling. You follow it all in the JACK app.
Frequently asked questions
How much does West Elm dresser assembly cost in London?
It is a fixed price for the piece you bought, worked out by a vetted pro from the product link and a photo of the room and shown in the JACK app before you book. If you would rather pay for time, hourly hire for furniture assembly is typically £35–£75 per hour as a guide.
Do you fit the anti-tip kit on a West Elm dresser?
Yes. A dresser full of clothes can tip if a drawer is pulled out and leaned on, so where the instructions include an anti-tip kit the pro fixes it to the wall using plugs that suit brick, block or plasterboard.
