Are IKEA beds easy to disassemble? ›

IKEA furniture isn't the easiest to disassemble. Before you go to all the trouble of taking it apart, measure the space at your new home to ensure everything fits. If it doesn't, you may decide to leave the furniture behind, toss it, or donate it.

Typically, IKEA provides all the tools required for assembly with each product. To be sure, please check the assembly document for your specific product. It is possible that other tools (drills, hammers, screws, etc.) could be required but whenever this is the case, it should be specified in the assembly document.

If possible, disassemble the product and repack in the original packaging or in a box that you have lying around to protect it when returning it. More information about our return policy or how to start a return request can be found on our website.
