Utube has a video from the company on how to get them apart.Put them on a table edge & slide them off.

Yes get good double sided tape. Or wood glue. But if you think you might want to take them apart later go with the tape.

You might try spraying with Pam and then work them apart. Or warm water and lots of soap. I've not had this problem, so am wishing you luck.

You cannot pull them apart, you must twist them apart: sort of twist them in opposite directions and then when you get them three quarters away from each other you should be able to pull apart like you're breaking a pencil or stick.

Sorry you are having trouble. It just takes some patience. We just unfolded the larger parts and pulled out the strings of lights one at a time. Good Luck:) They are gorgeous when you finish!

Hello- They are numbered in consecutive order, so you would want to stack them up carefully if you are going to pre-seperate them. Maybe paper-clip every 10 so they dont fall apart when they are loose.

hold each side towards the middle (top) gently pull apart and/push together to make bigger or smaller. Good Luck

I took ours apart and I can't see what got stuck. I guess more information is needed to answer the question.

They are stuck together. I didn't have a very good experience with it. The light socket is hard to screw the bulbs into and one side of the lamp stopped working 5 minutes after I plugged it in. I am returning this item.

I'm not sure I know how to answer that, because I don't understand how they could get stuck. I've always stacked them in the kitchen cabinet. Did you just receive them, after purchasing them? If so, I'd contact Amazon and ask for a return label and replacement shipment. If you try to do something to get them free, you may not be able to return them.

They are kind of a pain! I try to do it like my windshield shades. Grab them at 3:00 and 9:00, twist your hands in opposite directions (from each other) and move the sides in together at the same time. It takes me several tries, but eventually works.

Try aligning the pieces; then push down. I pounded them with a closed fist (hurts) ; then used a hammer.

I dont think you can take them apart but possibly steam cleaning would work. I have only had mine a month and a half. Doubled on covering so I wont worry about it too often.

It appears they slide together and pull apart but I haven't tried to dismantle the thing. I don't really think it's designed to be used as separate units.

try screwing them a little then slightly tap them with a hammer, be sure they are facing forward. if all else fails wrap a little duct tape around the threads and again tap them with a hammer.

You have to pull them away from each other and then you can connect them together. It's like they are on a spring. One end goes into the other end. It takes a little muscle!
