Everything - cots, wardrobes, changing units, chest of drawers, bookcases, nursing chairs, moses basket stands, baby gyms. The whole room in one visit.

Typically 2-4 hours depending on how many items and complexity. We'll estimate based on what you've bought and give you a price upfront.

Yes - if you need old furniture moved to make space, we can help with that too. Often part of the preparation.
