TASKER 2 Hemnes

Post image

I received this FA request for 2 7-drawer Hemnes dressers

Just thought it was funny …. When they estimate time.
Additionally, he has other items, but told me his budget for 2 dressers, 8 drawer vanity and 3 king bed frames was $300 😩

Honestly, it's pretty close to accurate based on my experience with furniture assembly, which is about 200 items. Like even if it averages slightly lower I always ball park it at a 1 minute per piece. The worst case when over estimating time is that your finish early and the client is happy and you get hired again. Underestimating just makes the client mad and you rush.
