Moving house, but your 1.8m wardrobe won’t fit through an 80cm door? Trying to rearrange your bedroom, but the double bed can’t turn the corner in the hallway? This is a situation thousands of households in Ho Chi Minh City run into every year. The only solution — disassemble the furniture, move it in pieces, then reassemble it with the correct technique.

DIY disassembly might sound simple, but 70% of self-managed jobs end up with missing screws, 50% leave scratched surfaces, and quite a few people end up calling a technician to fix furniture that wobbles after being put back together. Sai Gon Home Repair 247 has successfully disassembled and reassembled more than 5,000 sets of furniture in Ho Chi Minh City since 2015.

Factors affecting price:
- Material: natural wood is more complex than engineered wood (MDF, MFC)
- Size, number of drawers, doors, and carved details
- Condition: old furniture, rusted screws, or loose hinges take extra time to handle
- Building height and whether there’s an elevator
- Transport distance, if applicable
2. When Do You Need Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly?
2.1. Moving House or Office
This is the most common reason — accounting for 70% of our customers. A 1.6–1.8m wide wardrobe will almost never fit through a standard 80cm doorway when left whole. A double bed won’t fit down a narrow apartment hallway. Disassembling it piece by piece makes transport easier and safer, reduces the cost of hiring a large truck, and avoids damage from collisions during the move.
2.2. Repairs or Room Renovation
Repainting walls, relaying flooring, or running electrical/plumbing work embedded in the walls — all of these require clearing furniture out of the room. Disassembling it and stacking it neatly in the hallway lets the painting crew work faster, without worrying about paint splatter on your furniture. The cost of disassembling an entire room (800,000–1,200,000 VND) is far cheaper than buying new furniture when the old pieces get damaged by careless construction work.
2.3. Rearranging Your Space
Want to move a bed from a large bedroom to a smaller one, or move a wardrobe to the opposite wall — but the furniture won’t fit through the door? Disassembly is the only solution that lets you redesign your living space flexibly without having to buy new furniture.
2.4. Deep Cleaning, Termite Treatment
The space behind a wardrobe and under a bed tends to accumulate dust and hair, and is a common hiding spot for termites. Disassembling the furniture allows for a thorough clean of these areas, while also catching and treating termites early before they spread to other wooden components.
2.5. Buying Used Furniture, Reassembling Disassembled Pieces
Many households buy used furniture online at a good price, but it’s already disassembled with no assembly instructions. Assembling it in the wrong order can leave a cabinet out of square, doors that don’t close tightly, or wobbly furniture that’s dangerous for young children. A professional technician reassembles it roughly 3 times faster than someone doing it themselves for the first time.
2.7. Transport to Upper Floors Without an Elevator
A 3–4 story townhouse with a staircase only 80–90cm wide — a 1.6m wardrobe can’t go straight up. Breaking it down into smaller panels is the only way that’s both safe for the movers and avoids damaging the furniture.
3. Technique for Each Type of Furniture
This is the most important difference a professional technician brings — each type of furniture requires a completely different technique. Doing it the wrong way is the direct cause of 90% of damage in DIY disassembly.
3.1. Wardrobe Disassembly & Reassembly
The most complex furniture type. A 4-door wardrobe can have 80–120 screws of various types, 8–16 hinges, and 4–8 drawer slides.
Standard disassembly order:
- Take overview and detail photos of every hidden corner — the most important step, never skip it
- Remove all items from inside
- Remove the mirror (if any) → wrap it in bubble wrap immediately
- Remove the doors → detach the hinges, label “Left” / “Right”
- Remove the drawers → number them from top to bottom: 1, 2, 3…
- Remove the clothes rail
- Remove the shelves → clearly note each shelf’s position (“2nd shelf from the top”)
- Remove the top → remove the two side panels → remove the back panel → remove the base
Proper screw storage: Each group of screws goes into its own labeled zip bag: “Left door screws,” “2nd shelf screws.” Tape the bag directly to the corresponding piece — the only way to guarantee nothing gets mixed up during reassembly.
Actual time: Disassembly 45–120 minutes | Reassembly 60–150 minutes

3.2. Wood Bed Disassembly & Reassembly
Categorized by complexity:
- Basic single/double bed: frame + wooden slats + headboard → quick disassembly
- Bed with drawers: the drawer slides need to be removed first
- Bunk bed: requires 2 people, never disassemble alone
- Multi-function headboard bed: has many hidden latches, needs to be checked carefully by hand
Disassembly order:
- Remove the mattress → lightly clean the surface
- Remove the wooden slats or platform base
- Remove the headboard (unscrew from the inside out)
- Remove the 4 frame rails in order
- Remove the bed legs last
Mattress transport note: A spring mattress should never be folded in half or have heavy items placed on it. Wrap it in stretch film or a tarp during transport.
Time: Single bed 30–45 minutes | Double bed 45–90 minutes | Bunk bed 90–150 minutes

3.3. Kitchen Cabinet Disassembly & Reassembly
The most complex of all — fixed firmly to the wall, connected to electrical and plumbing systems, with a heavy stone countertop.
Must be done first:
- Shut off the water valve, switch off the kitchen area breaker
- Remove the stove, range hood, and faucet before removing the cabinets
Disassembly order:
- Remove the stone countertop (granite/marble is very heavy at 30–80kg per slab — requires 2–3 people)
- Remove the wall-mounted cabinets from top to bottom — first locate the wall anchor positions
- Remove the base cabinets in order, from the outside in
- Remove connecting rails and joining strips
Warning: If the kitchen cabinet has integrated recessed lighting or outlets → an electrician needs to coordinate; don’t attempt this yourself.

3.4. Altar Table Disassembly & Reassembly
A special case — combining technical skill with spiritual respect. This is a type of furniture that requires particular care and respect, which not every technician pays attention to.
Ritual steps before disassembly:
- Choosing an auspicious date and time according to the traditional almanac
- Lighting incense, informing the family ancestors
- Wrapping ancestral tablets and worship items in red or gold cloth
- Draping red cloth over the altar before beginning disassembly
Disassembly technique: Altar tables often use mortise-and-tenon joinery — disassembled slowly, without forcing. For intricately carved details: remove by hand, never use forceful tools that strike the surface. Lay each piece on soft cloth, in order.
Our technicians at Sai Gon Home Repair 247 always follow the proper rituals, respecting the household’s spiritual beliefs.

4. Our 7-Step Working Process
Step 1: Remote Consultation — Immediate Preliminary Quote
Call our hotline or message on Zalo — our staff will ask about the furniture type, quantity, condition, and purpose. Send 2–3 photos via Zalo: our technician identifies the furniture type and gives a preliminary quote right away, without waiting for a site visit. Free consultation 24/7, no obligation.
Step 2: On-Site Survey — Detailed Quote
A technician visits your home with full measuring tools. They check the connection type (screws, glue, nails, wooden dowels), the condition of hinges and drawer slides, and the path from the room to the outside. A detailed, itemized quote is provided — no surprise costs after signing. Free survey.
Step 3: Preparing Tools & Protecting Your Home
Our technician brings: A multi-tool screwdriver set, a cordless screwdriver, a rubber mallet, a small crowbar, a tape measure, a set square, zip bags, labels, a marker pen, foam padding, and bubble wrap. Plastic sheeting is laid on the floor, and furniture edges are wrapped before transport. Shoe covers are worn when entering your home.
Step 4: Correct Disassembly Technique — 5 Golden Rules
- Take photos of everything before disassembling — the photos serve as the best reassembly blueprint
- Disassemble from top to bottom, outside to inside — never the reverse
- Mark every piece — with color, number, and specific position
- Put screws into labeled zip bags — taped to the corresponding piece
- Photograph any pre-existing damage — to avoid confusion over responsibility
Step 5: Cleaning & Inspecting Components
This is a rare opportunity for a deep clean. Every piece is wiped down, and we check whether hinges are rusted, drawer slides are jammed, or screws are loose. We replace rusted screws with new stainless steel ones — free of charge. Creaky hinges are lubricated. If termites are found → we treat it immediately and report it to you.
Step 6: Correct Reassembly Technique
Reassembled in the reverse order of disassembly. Proper screw-tightening principle: loosely tighten all screws to about 70% force → check squareness with a set square → adjust if needed → then fully tighten to 100%. Never fully tighten screws one at a time right away — this causes misalignment that can’t be fixed afterward.
Post-assembly check: open and close every cabinet door (no noise, no sagging), test-pull every drawer (slides smoothly), and gently shake the whole piece (no wobbling).
Step 7: Finishing & Handover
Lubricate hinges and drawer slides. Wipe away marks and fingerprints. Fully clean up the work area — no wood scraps or leftover screws left behind. Inspect the work together with you. Hand over a 3–12 month warranty document.
5. Risks of Disassembling Furniture Yourself
5.1. Losing Screws — the Most Common Issue (70% of Cases)
A 4-door wardrobe has 80–120 screws of various types. Losing just 2–3 screws can make an entire cabinet panel unstable. Wardrobe screws are often a special size (European style, 5mm × 50mm, 6mm × 70mm), which aren’t easy to find at a regular hardware store. Solution: Zip bags + detailed labels + taped directly to the corresponding part right when it’s removed.
5.2. Disassembling in the Wrong Order Breaks Joints
Removing the cabinet body while the top hasn’t been removed yet, or with no one holding it → the top falls, breaking the joint. Repair cost: 300,000–1,000,000 VND depending on severity. Rule: Always disassemble from top to bottom, outside to inside.
5.3. Scratched Surfaces (50% of Cases)
Using a screwdriver that slips leaves scratch marks; letting unwrapped pieces bump into each other; or dragging items across the floor. Veneer and melamine surfaces on engineered wood scratch very easily — and can’t be perfectly repaired afterward. Solution: Lay old blankets on the floor, wrap padding around edges and corners.
5.4. Reassembling in the Wrong Position
Not marking pieces during disassembly → shelves get reassembled in the wrong spot, left/right doors get swapped → doors don’t close tightly, drawers won’t slide. Solution: Photograph, number, and note the position of every piece before removing it.
5.5. Wobbly Furniture After Reassembly
Screws tightened unevenly or without enough force. Screw holes widened from repeated disassembly/reassembly → not enough friction to hold firmly. This is dangerous for young children — a wobbly 2m-tall cabinet can tip over. Fix: inject wood glue into the widened hole, let it dry for 24 hours, then screw it back in.
6. Preparation Checklist Before the Technician Arrives
Good preparation saves time on the job and may reduce cost further:
1 day before:
- Remove all clothes and items from the cabinet/bed to be disassembled
- Clear a space to lay out the pieces after disassembly (at least 1.5 times the size of the furniture)
- Clear the path from the door to the room
On the day the technician arrives:
- Lay old blankets or cardboard on the floor of the work area
- Keep young children and pets away from the work area
- Take photos of the furniture’s current condition as evidence if needed
Saving on additional cost:
- Clear items out beforehand → save 100,000–200,000 VND
- Pre-remove simple, loose pieces (bed slats, small separate shelves) → saves further on technician time
