Once put together, how easy is it to take apart for moving upstairs?

Extremely easy. All you need is the hex or allen key and it takes apart in less than 10 mins. You don't need to disassemble the headboard or foot board pieces all the way unless you want to for some reason. Just remove the two side supports that extend from the head to the foot. You then have the slats, headboard, footboard and two side rails which can be crated through any door easily enough.

We (wife and I) brought box up three steps through a rear door. It was heavy and bulky. If going up / down stairs, I would recommend breaking down the components prior to moving. This was over a year ago so don't remember the particulars. The weights are part of an assembly which would have to be moved intact. As I rememember, I think it would require two people to move that assembly. I would buy this unit again, since we all love it and it gets regular use.

No, it can be easily moved. It comes apart in panels. I just moved and brought it with me.

Yes, very easily! The design of the bed is not permanent, so it would be easy to take it apart and move it

My wife was able to move it across the house inside the box with some difficulty. However, I would think it would be fairly difficult moving it upstairs as the box is approx. 3 feet wide and is bottom heavy.

To be honest, I've never tried that, it's much safer to pull it apart, you don't need to disassemble it completely though so moving it around shouldn't be too tough

Not difficult at all. If you've ever put together Ikea bookcases/shelves before you will find that this one is a bit easier because there weren't as many small parts. Instructions are clear as well.

One person can do it, but it takes a little strength - the box is rather heavy. My husband and I did it together, but we're not young anymore. It is pretty simple to figure out, but there are good directions. Because of the weight we built it with the included wheels. I was pleased with how solid it was - and then I really loaded it - imagine pantry on wheels. Still very solid. I've had to move it twice - loaded - still very solid. The weight makes it a little un-wieldy initially, but makes it very stable once constructed.

i haven't taken it down, i guess you mean take apart, but i assume it would be easy to take apart. it is very easy to move around on carpet or tile. don't worry about a socket because there are tools that come with it. the tools work but a socket might be faster. i literally had zero problems putting it together. just remember not to tighten your bolts down until you get them all about 3/4 way or your tower will woble.

It is heavy. You will need at least 2 people to get it upstairs. Hope this helps.

While it is easy to move, it is not readily collapsible. Once you assemble it, you probably want to leave it assembled and just move it around.

You loosen the 4 hand screws and move it up and down. I would say it's fairly easy as long as you don't have much weight on it.The back section and the front section move independently.

Very easy just remove ladder and lift give a little tug and your done. Me and my husband did the lifting together

Not very hard at all honestly, I just moved recently and I was able to take it apart and put together fast

It depends - If you have 2 people to move it down the flight of stairs. There are a lot of pieces - my husband assembled it in our living room....but I WOULD NOT recommend doing this on Christmas Eve!!!! So if that means calling a friend to help you move it down the stairs - it is quite a project to assemble and is not something that should be undertaken in the last hours...if this is a Christmas gift!

The box is heavy and big, but i cant remember how heavy. We took the pieces out of the box and carried them upstairs to put it together. It is not that hard to put together, but there are many parts. If you take your time so you get it right the first time, allocate 2-3 hours if you are doing it alone and are only using the little manual wrench they give you. It is easier to put together if you have 2 people, but you only need the second person for a very small part of the assembly. If you can balance one of the ends against something while assembling, you can do it yourself.
