Home furnishings retailer Crate and Barrel has announced a partnership with Handy, a leading platform for booking home services, to offer customers professional furniture assembly and home decor installation at over 90 locations across the United States.
Crate and Barrel and CB2 store associates can now work with shoppers to design a fully-furnished room, then direct Handy professionals to assemble and install the entire look for one flat price to create a seamless shopping experience.
Via store associates, customers can book appointments with Handy professionals at any time between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., seven days a week, to fully assemble furniture or install lighting, window treatments, and other home decor.
"As one of the industry's most respected, innovative retailers, Crate and Barrel knows that shoppers increasingly want to enjoy the items that they purchase without thinking about the work involved in assembling or installing them," said Oisin Hanrahan, co-founder and CEO of Handy. "We are thrilled to partner with Crate and Barrel to provide access to professional, convenient installation and assembly services to their customers."
"At Crate and Barrel, we make it our top priority to create seamless shopping experiences that align with the lifestyles of our customers," said Suzy Cirulis, vp of marketing at Crate and Barrel. "We are excited to work with Handy to offer Crate and Barrel and CB2 shoppers a truly end-to-end retail experience."
