In short. Emptying the carton, checking the parts and clearing the spot before the appointment saves the assembler time.

One case to start from: a flat-pack wardrobe delivered to a riad
A customer ordered a large flat-pack wardrobe for a bedroom in a riad in the Marrakesh Medina. It arrives in several boxes, carried by hand over the last stretch, because the Medina lanes are closed to vehicles. She booked furniture assembly on AdomApp for the day after delivery.
Every question below grows out of this one case.
Open the boxes before the visit? Yes, with care
She opens them the day before, gently, without damaging the panels or throwing out the packaging. The aim is to check that everything is there. She lays out the instruction sheet and the bag of screws and plugs, and puts the panels flat on a protected floor.
She does not tip everything out at random. Sorting parts into groups, panels, rails, doors, saves the assembler from hunting around. Keeping the boxes also lets her send back a faulty piece if needed.
Check the instructions against the parts
The instructions list every part. A quick count shows what is missing or damaged. If something is absent, better to learn it before the appointment, or the assembler cannot finish and the visit has to be redone.
She photographs the instruction sheet and the state of the panels, in case she has to go back to the seller.
Prepare the room and the route
The wardrobe will be built in the bedroom. She clears the floor, and also the room needed to stand the piece upright once it is assembled. She checks a socket is within reach in case a power tool is needed, and notes any stairs on the way to the room.
In the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site where riads are traditional homes, it helps to describe the route from the lane to the door, steps included.
The wall-fixing question
Tall, large furniture is sometimes fixed to the wall for safety. She mentions it in her request and describes the wall if she knows its nature. She does not drill herself without knowing what lies behind: cables and pipes cannot be seen. That is one to settle with the assembler.
Asking on AdomApp
There is no national rate shown for assembly; the quote is personalised and free on AdomApp, depending on the piece and the access. She describes the furniture, the room, the floor, the number of boxes if she knows it, and attaches the photo of the instructions. Payment comes after the service. Adom connects people and does not employ them: the person is independent.

Frequently asked questions
Should I unpack every box before the assembler comes?
Open them with care, take out the instructions and the bag of fittings, and sort the parts into groups. Keep the boxes in case a piece is faulty.
What if a part is missing from the kit?
Tell the seller before the appointment, photo of the instructions to hand, and let AdomApp know: the visit may need to move.
Does the furniture need fixing to the wall?
For tall, large pieces it is often advisable. Talk it through with the assembler and do not drill until you know what is behind the wall.
Who provides the tools?
Say so in the request, along with whether there is a socket nearby. That avoids an incomplete visit.
How do I get a quote?
Describe the piece, the room and the access on AdomApp. The quote is personalised and free, and payment comes after the service.
