Furniture Assembly & Mounting in South Pasadena
We assemble furniture and anchor it to the walls in South Pasadena — a town families move to for the schools and stay in for decades. Flat price per item. Six miles from our base straight up the 110: one of our fastest runs, and we can often offer the next day or two.
What we do in South Pasadena
The price is known before we leave the base. We do not bill by the hour and never re-quote on site because a job ran long. Minimum order $69.
Moved here for the school? We will furnish it in one visit
South Pasadena is a one-school-district town, and half the newcomers are families who moved exactly for that. We know the scenario by heart: the house is rented or bought by August, the furniture arrives as a mountain of boxes, and school starts in a week.
We set up the kids’ rooms and bedrooms in one two-person visit: beds, dressers (with an anti-tip strap — always and at no charge; in a house with kids this is not up for debate), bunk beds with every bolt torqued, desks ready for homework. The total is calculated up front at flat prices, and the cardboard leaves with us.
Homes past their hundredth birthday
The old streets around Mission West are lined with Craftsman and Victorian houses from the 1890s–1920s — few places in the region have kept this housing stock so intact. We work in them constantly, by the rules of a century-old house:
- Behind the plaster is wood lath: plastic anchors will not hold, so we anchor only into studs found with a detector — stud spacing wanders in these homes.
- Floors have a century of settling: casework gets leveled with shims, or the doors and drawers start living a life of their own.
- We drill as little as possible: one precise hole instead of three exploratory ones. In a house this cared-for, that is what respect looks like.
And a local domestic detail: garages and closets of the old houses are tiny, and built-in wardrobes barely exist. Freestanding wardrobes and closet systems are the most common large order here — and the tall ceilings of the old stock let them go up full height.
What South Pasadena orders most
Kids’ rooms and bedrooms — the family move timed to the school year.
Wardrobes and closet systems — making up for the built-ins that were never built.
Mounting into old walls — TVs, mirrors and shelving anchored into studs.

Frequently asked questions
Our house is from 1908 and we are afraid to drill.
You are right to be — plastic anchors pop out of these walls. We anchor into studs with one precise hole. The walls are a hundred years old; we treat them accordingly.
We move in a week before school starts, thirty boxes.
A typical South Pasadena August. Two of us will assemble everything in a visit or two and take the cardboard away.
Will you anchor the dresser in the kids’ room?
Always and at no charge. Strap into a stud.
We live by the A Line without a car — will you take the boxes?
Yes, all the cardboard leaves with us. It is part of the price.
