Hello,
Today my partner and I discovered the IKEA wingback chair "Strandmon" and we really like it. Unfortunately, the good Strandmon does not fit through our very narrow door to the attic, where the chair would have its place (chair width 82cm (32 inches), door and staircase width 65cm (26 inches)).
Can anyone tell me if the Strandmon wingback chair can be disassembled? From the factory, only the four legs need to be screwed on and the piece is ready. I already looked underneath the chair in the store and found some hex screws holding the chair together in the lower part, but I couldn’t find anything on the upper part that would suggest it can be unscrewed there.
Does anyone have experience with this and can give me some advice?
Best regards

if something can be flat-packed, IKEA sells it disassembled. I assume that the Strandmon side panels and the back panel were connected before upholstering.
Is the staircase located in a narrow "tunnel"?

I’m hopeful that the side panels of the armchair can be detached, but I won’t buy it just to find out at home that this isn’t the case. The upholstery in the middle and on the side are not connected. I imagine the side panels might first hook in at the top/side and then be screwed to a visible square frame made of slats at the bottom.
On the ground floor, we have a huge "Karlstad" sofa set that we could easily have carried up to the attic, but of course, the lousy Ikea wing chair doesn’t fit up there. What a pain!
The door isn’t the only tight spot, that’s true. It gets steep and only slightly wider above. I’d even be willing to pull the armchair up over the gutter, but the Velux windows aren’t wider than the door either.

If the staircase had only a railing, it might still be possible to turn the armchair through the door, but with a fully enclosed staircase, you’re really out of luck. Building something like that should be punishable.
