Hello everyone, I am planning to move soon and want to carefully disassemble my IKEA Billy bookcase to avoid any damage during transport and ensure it can be reassembled easily later. Does anyone have tips or a proven method for taking apart the Billy bookcase? I am particularly interested in which screws or connectors should be removed first, whether it’s best to take out all the shelves beforehand, and if any special tools are needed to safely remove the shelves and side panels. I would also appreciate advice on how to securely store small parts to avoid losing anything during reassembly. Thanks in advance for your experiences!
Long-term storage: I always use small transparent boxes with separate compartments to organize and label screws. It works perfectly!
Sounds professional, but don’t forget moisture protection. We once had rust on screws in storage, so now I also include small drying packets 🙂
