What to know about Furniture assembly
Flat-pack furniture is engineered to survive a shipping container, not a four-year-old using the bottom drawer as a step. Most of it is particleboard or MDF with a melamine or paper foil face, joined by cam locks and dowels, with a thin hardboard back that does more structural work than it looks like it does. Assembly is genuinely easy to do badly: one cam hole stripped, one back panel stapled on out of square, and the case racks for the rest of its life.

How to choose handymen in Baton Rouge
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Furniture assembly permits in Baton Rouge
Some furniture assembly work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Licensing in Louisiana
Consumer protection
The Board's own line is that verifying licensure greatly reduces your chances of becoming a victim of contractor fraud and can save you time, money and damages in the long run. Its search lets you look a firm up by name, licence number, city, parish, type of contractor or qualifying party, so a half-remembered company name is usually enough.
