Please share your product assembly instructions via email to hey@soona.co or ship them with your product and include an estimated amount of time to assemble AND disassemble in your email or instructions.

furniture assembly is the service we require when your furniture product ships in multiple pieces and needs to be put together to a complete stage so it's shoot ready.

Steaming includes prep time to ensure your items are wrinkle free before your shoot begins, it does not include a stylist on set to style your steamed items. Styling will be required if you’d like your items styled on your shoot.

We can steam up to 20 items. More than 20 items will require multiple steaming upgrades.

Our crew will ensure your items are steamed before your shoot begins. They will also continue to steam your items during the shoot as needed.

Our in-studio crew will steam and prepare your items for your shoot.

We can steam mid to large size wrinkle prone items. We commonly steam:

• Apparel
• Bed sheets
• Duvets
• Pillow cases
• Curtains
• Table cloths
• Fabric swatches

An additional styling service is required to have your product styled in a lifestyle scene or with props during your shoot.

There is no maximum hours for this service. Since we charge per hour, we can accommodate any amount of assembly needs for your shoot.
