When you're preparing for a move, one of the most common questions people ask is:
“Do movers disassemble furniture?”
The answer: Yes, professional movers like BF Happy Movers absolutely disassemble furniture and reassemble it too.
Whether it’s a king-size bed, a bulky dresser, or a modular sofa that won’t fit through the door, furniture disassembly and reassembly services are essential to making your move safe, efficient, and stress-free.
In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about disassembling furniture for a move, including what’s included, how it works, and why hiring pros is worth it.
Large furniture doesn’t always fit neatly through doorways, down stairwells, or into elevators. If you’ve ever tried to move a couch through a tight hallway or a bedframe down a narrow staircase, you already know the struggle.
It also makes your move faster and more organized, especially when movers can stack and arrange parts neatly for transport.
Yes, professional movers do take apart furniture, as long as it’s part of the agreed-upon service. At BF Happy Movers, we provide full-service moving that includes:
We bring our own tools, know which pieces need to come apart, and make sure everything is reassembled properly — no confusion, no lost screws.
Not every item requires disassembly, but here are the most common types of furniture we take apart during moves:
Bed frames, especially king or queen-sized, often require breakdown. Platforms, slats, and headboards must be separated for safe transport.
Large tables often have removable legs or extensions. Disassembling protects the legs and prevents scratches or bending.
Oversized couches or sectional sofas may need to be taken apart to fit through doors. This includes removing legs, backs, or separating modular sections.
L-shaped desks, conference tables, and storage systems may require dismantling. We also move and reassemble standing desks and cubicle systems.
We may remove drawers, separate shelving, or disassemble parts of dressers and bookcases for easier handling and to avoid damage.
Modular furniture from IKEA or similar brands is often designed to be disassembled and reassembled. We handle these carefully, using the correct hardware and assembly order.
At BF Happy Movers, our furniture disassembly service includes:
We also offer assembly furniture support even if you didn’t move with us. Bought a new bed or table and need it put together? We can help with that, too.
Not all moving companies offer this level of service, and even fewer do it well.
