    Depending on how difficult it is to put together. If they are easy $100 to $200. If they are hard $350 to $500. Don’t be stingy, you want them to do a good job, right?

    Usually the instructions that come with that kind of furniture come with an estimated time for assembly. If it doesn’t you can usually go to their website to find out. Once you have that information, figure 12 dollars an hour per the estimated time for the unskilled work and start your offer there. With the times given in the unstruction sheet being pretty liberal, it will encourage whoever is doing the work to do it as fast as possible.

    find someone with commen sence. it may seem like a simple task but it is very easy to snap retaining pis or mount things backwards. you’ll need someone who can not only read but understand the assembly instructions. whats going rate to flip a burger or shovel some dirt 6- $7.00? (i’ve no idea the going rate for labor) you need more than just labor you need brains and phisical capability. depending on the type of desk it could take form 1.5 to 3 hours each. at $10.00/hr geustimating it’ll take 6 to 8 hrs, id offer arround 50 to 80 bucks.

    kind of hard to give a solid figure as i dont know the desks, chairs, size, location etc.
