Hello everyone, I recently disassembled my Ikea Brimnes bed and found that the instructions for safe disassembly are not very clear. Is there anyone here who knows or has created a detailed and reliable step-by-step guide to safely take apart Ikea Brimnes furniture without causing damage? I am especially interested in what exactly to watch out for to avoid damaging the furniture parts, and whether there are any tools or tips that make the process easier. I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences or some kind of “best practice” here so that I and others can do this safely in the future.
A quick tip regarding safety during disassembly: Some parts of Brimnes can be surprisingly heavy, especially the long side panels and the frame. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or drop parts while taking them apart. Placing a rubber mat or a cotton cloth on the floor can help prevent scratches. And yes, as mentioned before, having a second person to help is always a good idea.
What I consider important for the safe disassembly of Ikea Brimnes furniture:
- A structured approach, meaning: first remove drawers and shelves.
- Remove the back panel last, as it provides additional stability.
- Avoid using force; instead, loosen screws with the appropriate tools.
- If screws are stuck, it’s better to use some penetrating oil or gently tap them to loosen.
This not only prevents damage to the furniture but also to the screws and makes reassembly easier.

First, remove all drawers completely and set them aside.Thank you for the detailed description; it sounds very helpful. Is there any recommendation on whether to disassemble the Brimnes bed frame and wardrobe separately, or are there specific connection points between them that need special attention? I’m asking because I have both pieces placed close together, and the disassembly might need to be done differently.
It definitely makes sense to separate the parts spatially first and work on them individually. This helps avoid restricting each other during disassembly or applying unexpected pressure on the connection points. This is especially beneficial for Brimnes, where different modules have different fastenings, making it advantageous to take them apart before the actual dismantling.

Since Brimnes mostly consists of modular components with their own fastening methods, these should be treated as separate units to avoid damage caused by twisting or overloading.
