Furniture Assembly & Disassembly Tips for a Smoother Move

When it comes to moving, one of the most time-consuming parts is dealing with large, bulky furniture—beds, desks, wardrobes, tables. Do you disassemble them yourself? Should you hire help? And how do you make sure nothing gets damaged in the process?

At BC Movers, we offer professional furniture assembly and disassembly services to make your move easier, safer, and faster. Here’s what you need to know:


🪑 Why Disassemble Furniture Before a Move?

Not all furniture has to be taken apart—but disassembling the right pieces can:

  • Prevent damage to furniture and doorways

  • Make loading and unloading faster

  • Help avoid injuries from carrying oversized items

  • Maximize space in the moving truck

Common items that may need disassembly:

  • Bed frames

  • Dining tables

  • Office desks

  • Wardrobes and IKEA-style furniture

  • Sectional sofas


🧰 Furniture Disassembly Tips

If you’re doing it yourself, here are some quick tips:

1. Take Photos Before You Start

Snap a few photos of each item so you know how it goes back together later.

2. Use the Right Tools

Have a basic toolkit ready: screwdriver, Allen keys, pliers, and maybe a drill with the right bits.

3. Keep Screws & Parts Organized

Put all screws, bolts, and small parts in a ziplock bag—then tape it to the furniture or label it clearly.

4. Label the Parts

Use painter’s tape or sticky notes to label pieces (e.g., “Left Leg”, “Headboard”) to make reassembly simple.

5. Be Gentle With Particleboard

IKEA and other flat-pack furniture can break easily. Don’t over-tighten screws or rush the process.
