The Hammer Scale
The Hammer Scale
The hammer scale indicates the ease of building each model.
Regardless of the model, over 80% of our clients successfully build their bunkie themselves with help from family and friends—turning it into a fun and rewarding bonding experience. We’re available for our clients and can help out even on a Saturday – use our build support phone line in your clients files.
We rate the difficulty of each bunkie kit using a simple 1-to-5 hammer scale—1 hammer being the easiest to assemble, and 5 hammers being the most involved. This helps you choose the right kit for your skill level and timeline.
👷♂️ Recommended Crew Size
For best results, we strongly recommend a minimum of 3 people to build your bunkie. More hands make lighter work—and a faster build! Having extra help can significantly reduce your assembly time and make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
Prefer to Hire a Pro?
Not everyone wants to pick up a hammer—and that’s perfectly okay. Some of our clients choose to hire a local contractor instead. If you’re considering this route, feel free to contact us—we’d be happy to share a list of contractors our past clients have worked with and recommend.
