Urban Clap will now offer skilled and experienced professionals to IKEA customers for unpacking and assembly in just 90 minutes!

UrbanClap, the leading mobile services platform, has been engaged as the Furniture Assembly Service partner for IKEA in Hyderabad. The world’s largest furniture retailer will open its first store of about 400,000 square feet property in Hyderabad’s Hi-tech city this summer.
