FAQs

What tools do you need to take apart an IKEA bed frame? ›

Commonly needed tools are Allen wrenches, Phillips head screwdrivers, flathead screwdrivers, and small wrenches. You may also want a rubber mallet to encourage tightly wedged pieces apart without damaging the frame.

Although most IKEA furniture is flat-pack furniture, it's not designed to be disassembled after you assemble it for the first time. After you disassemble and reassemble a piece of furniture, the quality of the product can be degraded by creating more space between screw holes and parts than originally existed.

If pieces of the bed frame are stuck together, you should first ensure they're supposed to come apart. If the wood pieces have nails connecting them, they're most likely supposed to stay together. If not, you should be able to gently tap one of the parts with a rubber mallet or hammer until it comes loose.

Even when disassembled, the parts, especially the headboard, may not fit. Instead, consider using a larger vehicle, hiring professional movers, or securing delivery from the store.

Ikea furniture is some of the most disassemble and reassemble-able furniture I've seen. My oldest Ikea piece is a 4x2 EXPEDIT shelf which has been moved three times now. Twice across town in a car (disassembled and reassembled), once across states (still assembled on a truck). It's doing fine.
