has anyone disassemble the bed frame before? I'm moving to a new place but I am having a hard time taking it apart.

I've taken it apart for a move before. It's not terribly straightforward but with a power drill I disassembled it in under an hour.

Oh dear...we have no disassembled it as yet. Right now it is tethered up to the ceiling of our dock house for easy take down when getting ready for an evening movie. The weather is about to change of course and we are going to store it up for the winter. But I'll keep your question in mind and respond again if we found an 'easy' trick to disassembling. Sorry that I cannot answer your question at this time.

I had to take mine apart to fix this problem once. Just be sure to have 2 sets of hands. The tension could make parts come loose. Very easy to reassemble.

I don't think it would be possible to disassemble. It is a beautiful piece and I love it but you couldn't take it apart without jeopardizing the integrity of the cabinet.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

I don't think it's meant to come all the way back apart. There are the buttons on the long rails that you can push in to reduce the length though. That said the gait part of ours tends to twist out of it's slots fairly easily when we're taking it off the bed.

Yes, you would have to take the entire thing apart. And more than likely it will not be as sturdy when put back together. It's an inexpensive piece made entirely of partice board...once put together it's really suppose to stay put together. I'd recommend you purchase after you move...otherwise you may want to invest in a higher quality piece.

I remember mine was really tough too. Once assembled I noticed the bottom plastic pieces for one side faced the wrong direction. There was no way I could undo and reassemble as it was such a tight fit.

Hi Sue, the unit is easy to assemble - and disassemble. Just remove the screws holding the section you want to take apart, and keep the instruction page handy. I know there is nothing written, but the page is easy to follow. Be careful to line the parts back up correctly, and realize, the more you do this, the larger the screw holes can become, so be careful. Moving it in sections should be easy.

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood. Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

I did not actually assemble the bed, my husband and his friend did. That said, I would venture to guess that it wouldn't last through too many moves. While I am satisfied with its quality for our purposes (we use it as a child's bed and don't intend to move), I don't think it's a high enough quality that it would sustain multiple disassembly and reassembly. Hope this helps.

Dear Mathew, please tell me how you did it. My brother bought one similar to this one for my daughter but apparently it is way to big to take abroad. I wonder if you were able to dismantle it. Thanks!

My husband put the bed together. He said that a new headboard would not drop right on, it would take some know-how to switch out the head board.

You can take it apart, you just have to unscrew the stuff that keeps the plates in place on the rod--which is very easy to do--and then make sure you put all of the washers, nuts, etc. in something. I use a ziploc bag and tape it underneath one of the plates.

It was super easy, only two different types of bolts and the middle slats have a sweet plastic clip design that makes disassembly easy as well. I used a drill to speed up the process and had it together in about 1 beer, so not too bad :) But seriously, if you have ever assembled a coffee table or shelf you are qualified to build this frame. Hope this was helpfull lol

I would sugguest buying a different bed with sturdier wood. We had ours for less than 6 months my 4 year old and wife sat on it at the same time and the frame and head board piece snapped in half. Sorry hope that helps

I don't think it's so easy to take apart, which is good since you want this to be sturdy. It's not something that I would recommend - you're better off shipping unassembled, and then putting it together when it gets to it's destination.
