No I wouldn't hire an assembler it defeats the purpose - buying cheaper furniture. Besides I've put so much together I'm pretty speedy at it. I've put together several microwave carts, bookcases, 3 computer desks (2 of them large), 2 large entertainment centers and 1 small one to name a few of the items. When my sister moved into her first apartment after college that was the job I was given. So no I would not hire an assembler. Maybe I could hire myself out for extra cash. dance
