Typical pieces of furniture that require dismantling include beds (single, double, bunk and hydraulic); sofas (modular, corner units and sofabeds); wardrobes (single, double and modular); exercise equipment; dining tables and desks. If possible, it is preferable to avoid dismantling as this adds time to the job. However, sometimes dismantling is an absolute necessity in situations where a particular piece of furniture is not able to be removed from a room, taken up or down a stairway or through a doorway.
