09 Oct TaskRabbit Reviews: How to Outsource Furniture Assembly in 5 Minutes

Outsource like a Pro in 5 minutes or less!

TaskRabbit, a technology company that pioneered the “gig economy” and was recently bought by a Swedish company – IKEA. Ikea is one of my favorite places to buy furniture because they are cheap and stylish.

But wait, you have to assemble this flat-pack furniture at home? For some of us, we are familiar with the hassles and frustrations with assembling it. This acquisition was to provide a better in-house experience to hire a furniture assembler professional.

My first experience with Ikea dated back to my college days. I bought a desk and thought it would be a piece of cake to assemble. I took it home and tried to follow the step-by-step instruction manual that comes with all of their furniture. According to the manual, the “estimated” building time was 45 minutes. That was dead wrong. It took me over 2 painstaking hours to put the pieces together. As meticulous as I was, one of the legs that supported the table was a bit off, so that gap created a wobble.

That experience left me with a bitter taste. Needlesstosay, It was not as easy I had thought. Since then, I have moved on to outsourcing this process. Economically, it is definitely worth it to hire a professional that can assemble it much more efficiently and effectively.

This was when I turned to my best friend Google and found a company called TaskRabbit( this is my referral link, you’ll get 20 bucks off of your first hire). TaskRabbit is great because it allows you to hire a professional on-demand. It takes away the hassles of scheduling, but more importantly the pain and frustration of trying to assemble your own furniture.

I will walk you through the step-by-step process of hiring a TaskRabbit. The sign-up process is instant and the whole process takes less than 5 minutes. Are you ready?

Here it goes.

TaskRabbit Reviews: Step 1 – Sign Up

If you are new to TaskRabbit, you will need to create an account with them. The easiest way to sign up is to link your social profiles, but if you don’t want to give them too much information about yourself, then sign up with your email.

TaskRabbit Reviews: Step 2- Pick a Tasker

1. Type assembly into the search box.
2. Enter your Task Location
3. Input your Task Details
4. Select your Tasker.
5. Enter your payment information.
6. Done!

Pro tip: Once you established a relationship with your TaskRabbit, then you can exchange information privately. 

Why do I do this? TaskRabbit is a service that charges both the user and the professional. For example, if the service costs $100 dollars, then TaskRabbit will charge you 7.5% fee and another 25% from the professional. Those fees will add up as you utilize their services, so save yourself some extra cash by following my pro-tip!

Last Words

Take the frustrations out of the equation. If you want to scale and save some time, then it is definitely worth the investment upfront to hire a TaskRabbit. Trust me. You will thank me later.
