New furniture to assemble, a bedroom to take apart, or a door that won't close? Here are rough prices, common problems, and how to agree a job with a carpenter without surprises.
Most carpenters charge per piece or per room. These are rough starting prices; the final price depends on the size and number of pieces.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Minimum for an assembly visit | From SAR 100 – 150 |
| Small piece (shelf, bedside table, table) | From SAR 90 |
| Sliding-door wardrobe | From SAR 110 |
| Large piece (big wardrobe, bed) | From SAR 150 – 290 |
💡 A whole bedroom or a kitchen: send the carpenter photos and a list of the pieces and ask for one price for everything. It's usually cheaper than paying per piece.
📦 IKEA and similar: keep the boxes and screws together, and check every part is there before the carpenter arrives.
Rough starting prices from 4 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of carpenters and assembly companies. We couldn't find reliable prices for a whole bedroom or kitchen. The final price is agreed between you and the carpenter. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually loose hinges, or the door has dropped slightly. Tightening the screws fixes many cases.
The hinge needs adjusting. Most cupboard hinges have small adjustment screws.
Usually the runner has come out or broken. It can be replaced cheaply.
MDF has soaked up water from a leak. Get the plumber to fix the leak first, then replace the panel.
Screws loosened after a move. Tighten them; if the wood has broken around a screw, you need a carpenter.
Interior door locks are usually easy to replace. Take a photo of the old lock so they bring the same size.
Send photos and a list of every piece before they come, so the price is clear.
Agree how you'll be charged at the start, and get the price on WhatsApp.
If cupboards or shelves go on the wall, ask whether screws and wall plugs are included.
If you're moving home, ask whether they only take apart and assemble, or also move. A removals company is sometimes better value.
If something leans or creaks after assembly, will they come back and fix it for free?
Look at real photos of past work and reviews from earlier customers.

Too much weight breaks the runners and the drawer.

Most assembly carpenters do IKEA and similar furniture. Ask whether they've done your type before.
