Professional assembly and disassembly of all types of furniture, as part of a complete move or as a standalone service.
Moving furniture involves more than just carrying and transporting. Large and bulky pieces often need to be properly disassembled to safely pass through doors, hallways, elevators, or staircases and arrive at the new address without damage.
Moja Selidba provides professional furniture assembly and disassembly as part of a complete moving service, but also as a separate service. Our team has the necessary tools and experience to disassemble various types of furniture, carefully preserving fittings, protecting individual components, and reassembling them at the new location.
We do not disassemble furniture unless necessary. Before starting work, we assess its dimensions, construction, and conditions for carrying it out. If the furniture can be safely carried in one piece, there is no reason for unnecessary disassembly. When disassembly is required, we perform the job systematically and prepare each part for safe handling and transport.
We disassemble and assemble wardrobes and closets, beds, tables, dressers, shelves, shelving units, kitchen cabinets, office furniture, and other bulky furniture pieces. If needed, we can also organize packing and protection of furniture before transport.
Below you can see what we can disassemble, how the process looks, and how we reassemble furniture at the desired location.
Describe what your move includes. We provide you with a transparent estimate, answers to all your questions, and the expected moving costs. Our expert's visit to your address is also free of charge.
Wardrobes and large closets are among the furniture pieces most often needing disassembly during a move. Due to their size, they often cannot be safely carried through doors, hallways, elevators, or staircases in one piece, and attempting to carry them without disassembly can cause damage to the furniture, walls, or doors.
Our team performs disassembly of classic wardrobes, large multi-part closets, sliding door closets, and other storage systems. Shelves, doors, drawers, and other elements are carefully removed, while screws, brackets, and other fittings are preserved so the furniture can be properly reassembled at the new address.
After disassembly, individual parts can be further protected with stretch wrap, cardboard, and other materials for packing and protecting furniture, especially when it comes to mirrors, glass surfaces, or delicate fronts. After transport, the closet is reassembled and placed in the agreed location.
If we assess that the wardrobe can be safely carried without disassembly, we will not disassemble it unnecessarily. The goal is to make the move as efficient as possible while preserving the furniture from unnecessary disassembly and potential damage.
Kitchen furniture requires extra care during disassembly because it usually consists of many interconnected elements. When moving a kitchen to a new address, it is important that each part is properly disassembled and preserved so it can be reassembled and used later.
We perform disassembly and assembly of lower and wall-mounted kitchen cabinets, kitchen cupboards, shelves, fronts, and countertops, depending on the kitchen’s construction. We disassemble elements in an order that allows safe carrying, preserving screws, brackets, hinges, and other fittings for reassembly.
We handle countertops, glass parts, high-gloss fronts, and other delicate surfaces with special care, as they can easily be scratched or damaged during handling and transport.
At the new address, disassembled elements are reassembled and installed according to the possibilities of the new space. If the layout or dimensions of the new kitchen differ from the previous one, we assess before starting what existing elements can be reused and installed.
Important: Our service includes disassembly, transport, and assembly of kitchen furniture, but we do not perform plumbing, electrical, gas, or other installation work. Disconnecting and reconnecting sinks, faucets, boilers, built-in appliances, and other elements requiring professional installation must be arranged with the appropriate specialist.
The bed is one of the pieces of furniture that often needs to be disassembled before being moved out of the apartment due to its size. Double and large beds usually cannot safely pass through doors, hallways, and staircases, while carrying them assembled can lead to damage to the structure.
We perform disassembly and assembly of double, single, and children's beds, as well as beds with drawers, storage space, and lift mechanisms. Depending on the construction, we remove headboards, side panels, bed bases, and other elements necessary for safe removal and transport.
We pay special attention to mechanisms, joints, and fittings essential for reassembly. After arriving at the new address, we reassemble the bed, place it in the designated spot, and check that the structure is properly assembled and stable.
Mattresses can be specially protected during the move to keep them clean during carrying and transport.
We organize moves in Belgrade through six simple steps, from a free estimate and scheduling to safe transport and completion of the move at the new address.
See all 14 steps, from the first conversation with the client to the successfully completed move.
See the move step by stepDressers, shelves, cabinets, and TV units may seem simpler to transport at first glance, but larger and heavier models often require partial or complete disassembly. This facilitates removal and reduces the risk of damage to furniture, walls, and passageways during the move.
We perform disassembly and reassembly of dressers, wall-mounted and freestanding shelves, cabinets, display cases, TV units, shoe racks, and various storage systems. Depending on the construction, we remove doors, drawers, shelves, legs, and other parts that can be safely detached.
For furniture with glass doors, shelves, mirrors, or other fragile parts, we separate and specially prepare delicate elements for transport to minimize the risk of damage.
If the dimensions and construction allow safe removal in one piece, we do not disassemble the furniture unnecessarily. When disassembly is required, all parts and fittings are kept for proper reassembly at the new address.
Work, dining, and larger office tables can often be transported much more easily and safely after disassembly. Removing legs, tabletops, and other detachable parts reduces the furniture's size and facilitates carrying through doors, elevators, and staircases.
We perform disassembly and assembly of dining tables, work and computer desks, conference tables, office desks, shelves, cabinets, and other office furniture. All parts and corresponding fittings are preserved so the furniture can be properly assembled at the new location.
For office and business space relocations, we can organize the disassembly of multiple workstations, prepare furniture for transport, and reassemble it in the new space. This way, one team can handle disassembly, carrying, transport, and reinstallation of office furniture.

Corner sofas, couches, and other large upholstered furniture pieces sometimes cannot be moved out of the apartment or brought into the new address assembled due to their size. In such cases, we first check the construction and the possibility of safe disassembly.
For modular sofas, we perform separation of individual modules, removal of legs, backrests, armrests, and other parts intended for disassembly. After disassembly, the elements are lighter to carry and easier to pass through narrow hallways, doors, and staircases.
We pay special attention to pull-out mechanisms, connectors, and upholstered surfaces, as improper disassembly can damage the structure or upholstery. After transport, we reconnect and reassemble the elements at the new address.
We do not disassemble upholstered furniture whose construction is not designed for dismantling nor do we perform interventions that would require cutting, tearing the upholstery, or other actions that could permanently damage the furniture.
Have you purchased furniture at IKEA or Emmezeta but the delivery time doesn't suit you or you don't want to wait for assembly? Moja Selidba can arrange pickup of the purchased furniture, transport it to your address, carry it inside, and complete the assembly.
We pick up factory-packed furniture and packages, organize their safe transport, and bring them into your apartment, house, or office space. After delivery, our workers can immediately start assembling the furniture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
We assemble wardrobes, beds, dressers, shelves, tables, TV units, office furniture, and other pieces. If you bought furniture at these stores, check out our detailed services for IKEA delivery and assembly or Emmezeta delivery and assembly.
This service is especially convenient when you want to avoid organizing multiple different services. With us, you can arrange pickup, delivery, carrying in, and assembly of furniture all in one appointment, without needing to separately find transport and assembly professionals.
This service is not tied to moving – you can hire us just for delivery and assembly of newly purchased furniture.
Proper disassembly is only the first part of the job. After dismantling, the furniture must be prepared for carrying, loading, and transport so that individual parts are not scratched, bumped, or damaged during the move.
We protect disassembled furniture parts as needed with stretch film, bubble wrap, cardboard, and other protective materials, depending on the type and sensitivity of the items. Special attention is given to fronts, worktops, mirrors, glass shelves, and other surfaces requiring extra protection.
Small parts, screws, brackets, hinges, and other fittings are kept so they are accessible during reassembly. This way, we avoid situations where parts needed for reassembling the furniture are missing after transport.
When you book a complete move, we can organize disassembly, packing and protection, carrying, loading, transport, and reassembly of furniture at the new address, so the entire job is done by one team.
For furniture assembly or disassembly, it is not necessary to book a complete move. You can hire our team just to dismantle existing furniture or assemble furniture at your address.

We can perform only disassembly, only assembly, or both services, depending on what you need. We come equipped with the appropriate tools and perform the job on-site, by prior arrangement.
If it is necessary to transport disassembled furniture to another address, we can also organize furniture transport and then reassemble it at the delivery location.
Before starting work, we inspect the furniture construction and assess what needs to be dismantled to safely carry and transport the item. We do not disassemble more than necessary, as this shortens the work time and reduces unnecessary strain on joints and fittings.
During disassembly, we pay attention to the order of dismantling, and we keep screws, brackets, hinges, and other parts for reassembly. Larger and delicate elements are additionally protected as needed before carrying and loading.
After transport, we bring the furniture into the new address and reassemble it in the agreed location. The goal is that after the furniture move is completed, you are not left surrounded by disassembled wardrobes, beds, and boxes, but that the furniture is assembled and ready for use.
When disassembling furniture, it’s not only about how quickly something can be taken apart. It’s important to know what needs to be disassembled, in what order, and how to preserve every element so the furniture can be reassembled without issues.
Our team works daily with various types of furniture as part of professional moves, from beds and wardrobes to large closets, kitchen units, and complete office furniture. Our moving experience allows us to immediately assess what can be transported in one piece and what needs to be disassembled for safe carrying and transport.
