When you want to replace your aging Ikea item, you simply call Unikea, and (for a small fee) they will come and carefully reverse the assembly sequence, then take away all of the dismantled components.

It could be called "Aeki". This is a good idea, as flatpack furniture is a nasty mixture of wood, plastic and metal and it hard to recycle. Taking things apart properly would help make it recyclable. |

Burning the stuff is much more fun. Even the allegedly "flameproof" furnishings will combust in a most entertaining and satisfactory manner, if carefully saturated with a carefully chosen accelerant. |

My flatpack furniture experience has never climbed as high as Ikea "quality", but I can assure you that the old stuff I have encountered cannot be disassembled--it is fallen apart, rusted solid, snapped off, stripped-out or just plain turned to powder, often all at once. |

A big hammer, a heavy boot and a disposal can--either of accelerant or for garbage--are all the tools you can use. [ ] |

This would probably work with Ikea stuff, and for people who take better care of their furniture than folks I know. It's a good handyman service to specialize in. |

I am a bit snarly about old furniture right now, as the only work I have is cleaning out a house full of abandoned everything, and the woman in charge wants to save and repair the rotting furniture. [+] |

Perfect. [+] Currently, I need to discard a piece of furniture
assembled shipinabottle-wise and now too big to fit through
the door. |

Det cord will be your friend on that one, we surmise. Either for the furniture or the doorway; doesn't really matter which ... |
