Large furniture like beds, wardrobes, and modular systems can’t always be moved as they are. Proper disassembly and assembly planning ensures these bulky items are transported safely, without damage or missing parts. With the right approach, you’ll also make reassembly faster and less stressful in your new home.

Why Disassembly Planning Matters
- Protects furniture: Prevents scratches, dents, or broken joints during transport.
- Makes moving easier: Smaller, lighter pieces are simpler to carry through doors and stairs.
- Saves time on move day: Organized disassembly avoids chaos when reassembling later.
Which Furniture Should Be Disassembled?
- Beds: Frames, headboards, and slats should be broken down into sections.
- Wardrobes: Large wardrobes often need to be taken apart to fit through doorways.
- Modular systems: Wall units or IKEA-style furniture benefit from disassembly to reduce stress on joints.
- Tables & desks: Remove legs to avoid damage during transport.

How to Organize Disassembly
- Gather tools: Screwdrivers, Allen keys, and small wrenches are essential.
- Label parts: Use bags for screws and hardware, and tape them securely to the corresponding furniture piece.
- Take photos: Snap pictures of the setup before taking it apart for easy reference during reassembly.
- Work systematically: Disassemble one piece at a time to avoid confusion.
Assembly Tips for Your New Home
- Unpack and set up bedrooms first so beds are ready for rest after moving day.
- Use your labeled hardware bags and photos for quick reference.
- Have extra tools handy in case of stripped screws or lost bolts.
- Check stability after reassembly—tighten joints for safety.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Losing screws and bolts by not labeling or bagging them.
- Rushing through disassembly, leading to broken parts.
- Skipping protective padding when moving furniture sections.
