IKEA offers its own assembly service in Germany, carried out through Taskrabbit. Montage und Fix Berlin is an independent assembly business with fixed prices. Which one fits depends on how and where you buy your furniture and how much certainty you need before the appointment. The IKEA details come from ikea.com/de as of October 2026.

How the IKEA assembly service works

According to IKEA you book assembly when you buy, online in the basket or in store. The price depends on the effort and the type of furniture and is shown per product in the basket, with a minimum assembly value of €39 including VAT. Not every product can be booked. Taskrabbit does the assembly, appointments are usually available two to three days after the goods arrive, and you pay Taskrabbit directly after the assembly.

How Montage und Fix works

Montage und Fix gives you the fixed price before you book: for PAX straight from the online calculator, for other furniture from a photo. It does not matter where the furniture was bought. A PAX job costs from €89, and any other job has a €65 minimum. Wall anchoring, levelling on sloping Altbau floors and travel to every district are planned in. You pay after the assembly.

When the IKEA service is a good fit

If you are ordering from IKEA anyway, want individual bookable products assembled and like seeing the price in the basket, booking at checkout is the shortest route.

When an independent fitter is the better fit

When furniture comes from several shops, when the PAX has already been delivered, or when Altbau walls and sliding doors need careful planning. Montage und Fix then prices the whole job as one fixed price and arranges the date with you directly.

Know the price first

For a PAX the online calculator shows the fixed price in a minute. One example: two 100 cm frames with sliding doors cost €169 at Montage und Fix.
