“Tired of getting a boring Task Rabbit to come and build your Ikea furniture?" Charles asks on Craig’s List 

 "I sing opera. I DJ. I like building Ikea furniture...with a drink in hand. Join me over a drink (or many) while your furniture gets built before your very eyes."

Interestingly Vickery is not a professional singer nor a professional builder but that doesn't stop him.

He told the Huffington Post: "I'm well educated, an opera singer, and I like to have a good time,"

"So in the absence of a better 'experience' I came up with a Craigslist ad to 'build your furniture while I entertain you' -- a simple offer with an old-fashioned touch."

"I think we all want more than just a transaction," he said.

"We want something authentic; something that helps remind us that we're all in this thing together. And perhaps something with a touch of class."
