Preparing an Airbnb, VRBO, or furnished rental for guests involves more than just buying furniture. This checklist helps Oklahoma City-area hosts get organized before an assembly and installation appointment.
What Furniture Should Be Delivered First
Before scheduling a setup appointment, make sure your key furniture items have arrived:
- Bed frames and headboards
- Dressers and nightstands
- Dining tables and chairs
- Desks and workspace furniture
- TV stands or entertainment centers
- Bookshelves and storage cabinets
- Patio furniture (if applicable)
Keeping boxes in the correct rooms when possible helps speed up the assembly process.
Product Links and Instruction Manuals
Send product links for each item before the appointment. This helps Redhawk review the scope, estimate timing, and confirm compatibility. If you have manufacturer instruction manuals or model numbers, include those too.
Wall-Mounting Photos
If your project includes art, mirrors, or standard TV mounting by quote, send photos of the wall areas where items will be installed. This helps with planning and access review.
Stair and Access Considerations
Let Redhawk know if the property involves stairs, upstairs rooms, tight hallways, or multiple steps. Heavy items that may require two people should be noted in advance.
Heavy-Item Planning
If you have large or heavy furniture — solid wood dressers, dining tables, or entertainment centers — mention it in your request so staffing can be reviewed.
Standard TV Mounting Information
Standard TV wall mounting may be included in a custom property setup quote after Redhawk reviews the TV, mount, wall, height, and access. Large or oversized TVs, above-fireplace mounting, in-wall power installation, and new electrical outlets are not actively targeted.
