Steady Home Works service
Shelving, Furniture Assembly & Storage Solutions — CT
Flat-pack furniture and DIY shelving promise a quick weekend project — then you're three hours deep, missing cam-lock 'C', with a bookshelf leaning like the Leaning Tower of Berlin Turnpike. We finish what boxes start, and we build storage that's actually anchored to the house.
From a single floating shelf to a full garage storage wall, we plan the layout, find the studs, level every run, and leave you with storage that holds real weight — not just catalog dreams.
Serving Kensington, Berlin, New Britain & 10 more CT towns — no travel fee.
Typical pricing: Flat-pack assembly typically runs $75–$200 per piece depending on size. Wall shelving is quoted by linear foot after we see the wall.

Shelving, Furniture Assembly & Storage — common questions
Do you assemble furniture from any retailer?
Yes — IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Target, Costco, you name it. If it comes in a flat box with an Allen wrench, we've built it before.
Can shelves hold real weight on drywall?
Only if they're anchored correctly. We mount into studs or use rated anchors matched to your wall and the load. We'll tell you honestly what a given wall can hold.
What happens to all the packaging?
We break down boxes and take packaging with us if you want — most people take us up on it. We'll ask when we book.
Can you modify flat-pack furniture to fit a space?
Often, yes — trimming panels, joining units, adding filler pieces, or swapping hardware. Send measurements and we'll tell you what's possible.
Do you wall-mount dressers for anti-tip safety?
Absolutely, and we recommend it in any home with young children. It takes minutes per piece and prevents one of the most common serious home injuries.
