Our apartments sometimes come across a layout that complicates the movement of furniture. Most often these are rather narrow doors. The solution in this situation is one thing - to disassemble and transfer. With sofas and beds, as a rule, there are no problems: there are many articles on the Internet with step-by-step instructions governing the entire process of disassembling into components. But with a rocking chair, everything is somewhat more complicated. In view of the low prevalence of this comfortable furniture, information is not enough. If you decide to move the chair from one room to another or disassemble it and drag the algorithm of actions, you have to develop it yourself.

First of all, it is necessary to inspect the chair and determine the nature of the fastening. There are two main options, less often their combination. The first - the mount is hidden under the upholstery, the second - is easily accessible. In the latter case, we proceed immediately to the study of fasteners.
In the most difficult part, we are trying to assess in which place the chairs are tightening mechanics. There you will have to remove the outer layer of tissue to gain access to it. Some manufacturers provide the owner with the need to disassemble the furniture and make the outer layer in such places easily removable. For example, with a zipper or velcro.
If nothing of the kind can be traced in the design of the chair, we try to gently tear it open without damaging the upholstery. Quite often, upholstery is not sewn around a piece of furniture, but is attached from the inside to the brackets. This option can save a lot of time.
Now we are studying fasteners. Here the following constructs may occur:
- Confirmate is a typical furniture screw resembling a self-tapping screw, only with a recess in the head. Unscrews in the same way, but using a special key.
- Eccentric screed. It comes in different shapes and sizes. Most can be removed using a conventional screwdriver, preferably a large diameter. There are screwdriver tips for these purposes, which you can try to replace with the largest drill. Using a power tool will do the job easier.
- A coupler for sectional elements is also a common type of fastener. With its dismantling, difficulties should not arise. Since it represents at one end a bolt and a sleeve with a hat on the other. On both sides there are often recesses for cross or cuts for conventional screwdrivers.
- The corner is a familiar element from childhood, from school labor lessons. Here you just have to unscrew the screws.
Attention! For successful disassembly, a suitable tool should be used. If the connection does not lend itself well, WD-40 or an analogue, for example, CC-1000, will be used.
What can not be done when disassembling
It is unacceptable to make rude and strong movements - such an approach to business is fraught with breakdown of furniture elements, tearing of its coatings or failure of fasteners.
If the parsing is done in order to repair the frame or replace the upholstery, you can not leave part of the accessories unchecked. By the way, it does not interfere with photographing the places of its attachment, so that later, when collecting, it will not get confused.
In the case of dismantling the chair for transferring to another room, it is categorically not recommended to do this partially, leaving the pieces of furniture articulated, only loosening the fixtures and arching the parts to make design already. So often do. This often results in breakage.
Dismantling the chair-bed, depending on the model
There are certain nuances depending on the type of chair:
- Small-sized models for moving it is better to disassemble not completely, if possible it is enough to divide the structure into two parts.
- Double models - more like a sofa or sofa and the principles of their disassembly are little different.
- Corner models need to begin to disassemble from the back, which is present in the vast majority of seats of this design.
Important! There are features that depend on the mechanism of transformation.
The folding parts of the form “accordion”, “tick-tak”, “telescope”, “puma” and “eurobook”, as a rule, do not differ too much from dismantling ordinary furniture. Due to similar components.
But arranged on the principle of "dolphin", "sedaflex" and "recliner" almost always consist of a metal frame. And they demand first of all to dismantle this particular structural element.
