Russell and his team are awesome! This is the second time we've used his company to move us. The first time he drove to ikea, bought everything on our list including an armoire, moved it to our new apartment along with everything else from our old apartment and then assembled it all! After that, we didn't even think twice about who we'd hire to move us this go around. Russell and his team came over earlier today, packed up our entire apartment and moved us to from Manhattan to Brooklyn. He and his team also built some new furniture we purchased such as an entertainment center, pots and pan rack, installed our blinds and new light fixtures. All this at a very reasonable price. It's a no brained if you're looking to move and want to hire a moving and assembly company. Highly recommend, you'll be happy you hired them, it's a stress free move. read more

We had a big project that required someone who could disassemble, move, provide a COI and reassemble two huge Ikea pieces. Russell was the right guy for the job. He even managed to work around the inconvenience of having our elevator break down as he was moving. He and his partner worked all day and put together two systems for us that came out perfectly. I wasn't that keen on the whole disassemble, move, reassemble thing but Russell made it look easy and always with a smile on this face. He's the best, don't hesitate to call him. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. My husband and I hired him about a month ago to pick up, deliver, and assemble ikea furniture for us as well as mount our three TV's at our Westchester, NY home for today, the 18th of February. We were in communication with him all month confirming the date of February 18th. Every several days he and my husband would talk about February 18th. The night before (Feb 17th), we reached out for a final confirmation, and he confirmed yes, the 18th. Then we reached back to set a time frame for him to show up the next day. No response. My husband had to call him the morning of the 18th and he told us, "I'm not coming, I'm in Florida". Please explain to me how one confirms time and time again, including the night prior - then has to be tracked down and tells the customer, "I'm on the opposite side of the country". Not only is this extremely dishonest and unprofessional, but this behavior also lacks common courtesy and human decency. Absolutely unreliable and wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

There guys are top notch! I called two day's ago and they made a way to work within my time frame. Shopped for me, delivered, assembled and took the garbage away. I even surprised them with a few additional pieces and they were happy to put them together. Their prices are fair and they put everything together expertly. My sons college apartment is on its way to looking like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend them. read more

See all

Russell was extremely responsive and his guys were very efficient in completing the minor job that I needed done, transporting several heavy IKEA pieces back to the store to be returned. Highly recommended! read more

I highly recommend Russell and his services. He responds promptly to inquiries, arrives when he says he will and does good, quick work. His prices are significantly cheaper than other delivery and assembly companies I contacted. You send Russell an Ikea shopping list, he goes to the store, purchases the items in cash, delivers them to your apartment, and assembles everything in record time. I hired Russell twice--once when we moved in, and once a few months later when we realized we needed a few more items. In total, Russell purchased, delivered and assembled two dressers, two bookshelves, two consoles, a TV stand, a dining table and a kitchen island. He comes equipped with all the tools he might need, including power drills that make the process move more quickly. The second time I contacted Russell, he said he was available the next day. He arrives promptly and maintains excellent communication by email and text. One of the console tops we purchased came damaged out of the box. Even though it clearly wasn't his fault, Russell offered to return the item to the store, purchase another one, and bring it by my apartment when he was next in the neighborhood at no charge. How nice is that? In short, you can't go wrong with Russell. Save yourself (and your relationship) the hassle of going to Ikea and spending hours with an allen wrench. Contact Russell, give the nice man a few bucks, and live happily with your new furniture. read more

Rusell and his team are one of the best ikea delivery and assembly team I ever used. Fast , efficient , he gave me a flat fee and kept his word to it, really a pleasure to work with . he met me at ikea did waste his time went to get merchandise and drive back then assembly . Feel so professional and seamless the whole process. Since they were so professional ,I will be using him and his team for my moving too. Will update my review for using him as moving company. read more

I was impressed...Russell was great communicating throughout the process. They are fast, punctual and efficient. Furnished a 3rd floor walk up apartment on upper east side; all was from ikea. They picked up, delivered, assembled and removed waste. They are friendly and showed operation of all the furniture. I highly recommend them read more

Russel came soon and saved me. I had a wall bed assembly that no one could assemble, I'm happy to say he took very short time to assemble it professionally without causing any issues other handyman caused. He was very careful about everything. Very professional and very good price. My family and I recommend Russel. read more

Ikea Delivery and Moving Service - Russel assembling my wall bed - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Russell and his assistant are truly amazing! Russell was quick to respond and attentive. Extremely reasonable pricing! They showed up on time and within 30 minutes were all done. They were able to take out sofa bed and bring upstairs all the sectional pieces making the turn in the tight hallway- they put everything back together and made sure the sofa bed worked! I definitely would use them again! I definitely would tell others to use them! Terrific workers! Absolute 5+++ stars!!! Now to get slipcovers for the couch we got! read more

Ikea Delivery and Moving Service - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went with the service because it seemed very straightforward, & I wanted someone who would pick up the items for me and bring them to me and assemble them. I had a friend who recently had a bad experience with Russell, but I was in need of someone who could deliver on the weekends or late at night. many of the other services do not deliver after 5 p.m. or on Saturday and Sunday at all. I recommend just relaxing at home and letting someone deliver it to you. we ordered 7 items and it took over four and a half hours to complete the assembly. I would use the service again and in fact I plan to. read more

He saved us from a trip and missing out on a product! Highly recommend if you need a reliable service.

No call. No show! Scheduled a date/time with Russell. The morning of scheduled appointment, texted Russell to confirm info. Received a response saying he 'forgot' and asked if he could come 'tomorrow'. Asked Russell 'what time tomorrow'. Russell replied he would let me know. I never received a response! Found another company to complete the job. read more

Wanted to get a sofa from Ikea and it finally was in stock today. Russell helped purchase the sofa, delivered it, installed it within one hour, and did all the cleanup before leaving. Definitely would use his service again in the future! read more

WOW - Russell really dropped the ball on this one. I wanted to purchase a couch w/chaise from Ikea and use Russell again since it was so easy the first round. My building only allows for deliveries like this from 9-5pm on Monday-Friday so I had to take a day off of work to get this couch. I texted him on a Monday to see if he was available on a Wednesday. I said I would be getting a couch so I would need him to meet me at the Ikea loading zone w/ the couch, take me and said couch back to my apt and possibly assemble it. I said about 3/4pm for the pick up and that I would text him when I was in line for the furniture pick up to allow plenty of transit time for him to reach Ikea. I got an 'OK' text from his number on Tuesday night. I was also at Ikea on Tuesday to make sure that the couch I wanted was indeed what I wanted and that it was in stock for me to pick up on Wednesday. I should have just ordered delivery from Ikea then and there... Anyway, I got to Ikea a bit early on Wednesday and was able to pay for the couch and wait at the pick up window. At 3pm I texted Russell to say I was in line for the pick up and to give me a text when he was close to Ikea so I could meet in the loading zone. No answer At 3:50pm I texted Russell to say I picked up my furniture and that I was ready to meet him in the loading zone. No answer I then called at 4:02 and left a message. at 4:03pm I get a text 'GUYS JUST CALLED ME, THEY IN ACCIDENT SAYS.' as well as 'CAN YOU TAKE A TAXI SERVICE THERE?' WHAAAAAATTTT????? Of course I hope no one is hurt and that everyone is ok but come on. Would I have gotten any response had I not called???? And no, I can not take a taxi from Ikea with a couch. Needless to say, that was the only text message I got from Russell. No phone call, no text message with any sort of applogy, nothin'. Bummer. So I had to schedule a delivery w/ the Ikea delivery service after all that. I could have gotten a 7-11pm window if my builing allowed it but no, next day between 11-3pm. So even though the couch arrived at around 1pm, I still had to take another day off. Good thing I won't be getting anymore large items from Ikea anytime soon. Sorry Russell but I won't be using your services or recommending you to anyone after this experience. read more

What a joke. I emailed Russell Sunday night about using this company to pickup stuff from IKEA, deliver, and assemble. Russell was pretty responsive via email and we agreed that I would meet him at 10 am at IKEA Brooklyn on Wednesday so I could pay with my credit card (didnt want to have that much cash on me). I get to IKEA right at 10 and text Russell to say Im there. No response. At 10:15 I write him a quick email. No response. At 10:30 I call, no answer. At 11 I call again and finally get through to him. Russell doesnt really speak english well but he kept muttering the delivery truck was there. So I ask where should I meet him and he hangs up. I call again and email twice. No response. At noon I called it quits and head home. So more or less this company wasted 3 days leading me on and 4 hours of my life getting to and waiting at IKEA. Terrible customer service. There are much better companies out there. Stay clear. read more

Amazing! With IKEA running out of stock on many items, we had an urgent need to get our order and have it delivered for our new closets. Russell was incredibly responsive and delivered our entire order in a quick and careful manner. He saved the day. We'd use him again in a second! read more

Fast and efficient! Russell was great to deal with and helped us take down a standing closet unit and assembled the new one. He also hauled away the old closet and boxes. GREAT service and well done job. read more

My husband and I had been casually thinking about replacing our uncomfortable sofa we hastily bought just 4 or 5 months ago after moving into a new apartment and in dire need of seating. This past week, I decided to stop being so casual. On Friday, I shopped at a few places and finally, on Saturday, decided that we would go with the love seat size of the Ikea Kivik series, from which we previously owned a sofa size piece. On Sunday, I wanted to go to the store to see the different fabric colors and I called Russell that morning before venturing out to the Brooklyn store to take a look to get an estimate for delivery/assembly. He answered right away and was quick to assist me with an estimate and insisted that he could even deliver that evening. As I was unsure about whether or not I wanted to purchase the couch, I told him I would call him from the store. Long story a little shorter, decided to hold off to figure out logistics of getting rid of our crappy sofa and ended up following up with Russell Tuesday morning. He was very accommodating as to scheduling delivery for that evening. He talked me into the shopping service (where I simply provided him with the article # and his guys would purchase from the store), delivery (to Greenwich Village in Manhattan) and assembly (1 hour estimate, $50/hr) for a total of $150 (oh yeah...I live in a 3rd floor walk up!). I was even able to negotiate an extremely reasonable price with Russell for his guys to carry our old sofa out of our apt, down the 2 flights of stairs, into their truck and AWAY from our apartment (super was giving me a hard time about leaving our sofa on the street for bulk collection and I didn't want to ruffle feathers). He estimated a delivery window for me of 7p-8p...the guys showed up at 7:22p...per-freaking-fecto. Took them about an hour to bring up the pieces, bring out the old couch, AND assemble the new couch. I paid the price Russell estimated for me just earlier today (plus the price of the love seat, for which we received the receipt). It's 9:30p and I'm now relaxing on the couch with my husband and with the Rockets game on, having gone through this seamless process of purchasing, delivering, and assembling a new piece of furniture in the city....with no car (a process that I have been mentally avoiding for weeks due to my fear of it's likely annoyances), with HUGE thanks to Russell, his team and their significant assistance! read more

Ikea Delivery and Moving Service - Ikea Kivik love seat assembled in less than an hour! - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I dont write reviews, and this is my first review as I felt compelled to give feedback to one of the best movers /furniture delivery experience I had New York. I have been in NY for 10 years and through 5 moves. I moved for the 5h time and needed new furniture, I dreaded assembling an IKEA sectional couch . Here come Russel to the rescue, I emailed him my list a couple of days and he promptly confirmed. He came on time and with the stuff from IKEA, he unpacked everything and we figured out that he forgot the legs of the table at IKEA, he went back and was back in an hour , so fuss no extra charge. The couch was assembled like a pro so was the dining table and four chairs. He did the whole thin in 2 hours , if it was me it would have taken 6 hours and lot of swearing. SO one of the best value for money proposition, I recommend this as a guy who is quite handy. read more

I highly recommend Russel for his services. He was excellent f throughout. He helped me move a big wardrobe from Brooklyn to jersey city. He did a great job start to end.(Disassemble -move - -Assemble). I look forward to giving him more assignments in the future. read more

Add us to all his other 5-star reviews - terrific service, everything we hoped for. Great communication, pleasant people, fast and efficient delivery and assembly. read more

Just recently did a small move with Russel and his colleague. Good experience - he kept in touch via text and gave us updates as he had to reschedule the time from 11am to 1pm - no biggie for us. They were patient despite not having a real parking spot on E 47th, moving furniture down and accross the street. They moved a king sized bed, bed frame, a really heavy coffee table and other misc stuff for us. We even got a ride to Queens in his sprinter van where we were headed. Finished the whole process in 1.5 hrs. They were the lowest we could find for a small move (most others charged $300up). Would hire them again for furniture pickups or small moves. read more

Russell was great! He accommodated my urgent last minute request to pick up furniture from the store, deliver to my apartment, and assemble everything, even though his day was packed. There was a problem with the shelves for one product (store's fault), and he went back and replaced them without a problem. Also did a great job with assembling the furniture. I would definitely recommend and use again. read more

Russell did an amazing job helping me buy furniture from ikea and deliver it. Super fast, very sharp, efficient,, professional, and friendly. I would strongly recommend him. read more

Russell was super helpful and responsive, a pleasure to deal with, and available quickly. He and his employee were both very efficient, and went to a lot of trouble to get everything we needed from Ikea and make sure it was assembled and placed perfectly. His prices are competitive. Super pleased, thanks so much!! read more

Very easy and efficient! We set up the "click and collect" option from Ikea in Brooklyn. They delivered it uptown the next day. Brought up very fast. Would recommend and would come back to them. read more

I worked with Russell this past weekend to complete a move from NYC to suburbs of Philadelphia. By far the most communicative, fairest priced service. Russell made my move much less stressful by assuring me my items would fit, messaging me leading up to and after drop off, and helping unload when they were brought to my very old parents house. I asked so so many questions and he took the time and patience to make sure I felt safe and assured. I will definitely use him again! read more

The best service and experience I could ask for. Russell was so accommodating, patient, efficient, quick, nice. There's not enough good things I could say about this. He went out if his way to help me and did a great job. Best of all they don't charge that much and are so helpful. Don't go anywhere else but here, you will not be disappointed. read more

I am very glad that I came across Russell and his service. I don't drive and as a newcomer, don't know someone who could drive with me. My tables were particularly long also so a typical car or uber set up would not work. The store's own delivery service offered a delivery 1 month from purchase and I'd had too many problems with missing items with them already so didnt want to go through that experience again. Russell was great! Talking with me whilst in the store about items that were out of stock and possible replacements. I highly recommend Russell and his team and would use them again. read more

Russell got my roommates and my job done on the day we needed & at a fair price. He worked really hard when required - shopping, moving stuff into the van, into my apartment. He was patient when the job called for that too - waiting for Ikea to bring my couch to the pick up area. Keep in mind Russell (& most of his competitors) are basically a man & his van. They can't make miracles happen if Ikea is out of stock on your item or if traffic is bad. But, that also means you can make sure your job is done exactly how you want it, especially if you meet them at Ikea like I did. Working with Russell certainly beats rolling the dice with Ikea's standard delivery to get your heavy furniture into a NYC apartment. read more

I had Russell help me move this last November and had yet to post a review. I desperately needed help getting AC window units installed. I tried 2 business but was twice told that they wouldn't service my area. I remember that Russell advertised handyman services. I texted him and within minutes he responded and scheduled an appointment for the next day. He was a life saver!! His crew was prompt and courteous. It was no easy feat moving a washer and dryer up a narrow attic staircase after the delivery men refused to install them. Real talk..... Russell will not disappoint! read more

Russel and his coworker took care of picking up from Ikea our shopping list with furniture for our entire apartment. He together with his coworker delivered all the boxes to our apartment in NYC and assembled everything in a single day. All we did was meet him at IKEA in Elizabeth NJ at the cash register to pay IKEA (maybe one of these days ikea will facilitate online payment instead). Russell took care of all the rest on our schedule. read more

Fast response to inquiry with quote. Able to pick up and deliver with very short lead time of just 1 day. Professional -- everything arrived in perfect condition and within the 1 hour window given. I highly recommend. Would definitely use again. read more

Responsive and reliable! Russell drove all the way to Edison and Paramus to pick up furniture from Ashley and IKEA, deliver to Manhattan, and assemble them promptly. He kept us informed all the way. I would not hesitate to recommend his great work! read more

Russell and his associate bought my furniture from IKEA, delivered it to my home in Manhattan, assembled all of it, and did all this in the middle of Winter Storm Juno. They didn't even get upset when the IKEA store closed unexpectedly, and instead drove to a different store to fulfill the order. Very thorough in their assembly, responsive to my emails & phone calls. Great service overall. read more

Russell has helped me three times in my two years in New York. The first two were delivering furniture from IKEA to Manhattan, and the latest was a move from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Each time, Russell has been prompt, professional, and affordably priced. Russell and his colleagues do their job very well and go the extra mile. During my latest move, Russell took care to wrap up my mattress and box spring in plastic so that they wouldn't get dirty during the move. He even fixed a small crack in my box spring that was there from months ago. read more

I contacted Ikea and paid for a $99 delivery but without knowing a third party XPO was involved. They didn't show up but they reported the customer wasn't there. I reschedule the sooner they could, 3 days later but they only brought the small boxes not the bed frame I ordered. They said I could returned no accept the partial delivery but they didn't mention that means an automatic cancelation with Ikea. Ikea customer service was "nice" but useless, they didn't offer any option. read more
