Remove the top bunk and all but one of the top rails.
Take apart ikea bunk bed.
The bed will come apart in the same way as the lower bunk.
You may have to tap the other part to free it completely.
If you re on your own then one relatively foolproof way to take apart your ikea furniture is by following the instructions backwards.
Leave the screws in place.

Entirely loosen all of the screws holding the side rails and lower bunk onto the 2 side pieces.
Before you separate the headboard and footboard from the extensions remove the side rails in the same manner as above.
You could also try simply starting at the top and working downwards with smaller pieces.
Keep all your screws together in a plastic bag and don t lose the bag.
Use a chisel to pry one leg of the headboard away from the extender.
The metal rails will need to be unbolted from the wood in order to take the ladder support off of the bed so keep that in mind.
Put a piece of wood up against the slat and the bedside and hit it with a hammer.
To undo just turn them a half turn anti clockwise and they will disengage.
Position the bed so that one of the short sides is flush against a wall.
You should be able to slide the panels out of their notches once the bed legs are all removed.
If you re fine with those options here s how i disassemble it.
If they are the ones i m thinking of when you turn them clockwise they engage with the head of a metal dowel in the other piece they are connecting with.
And you will still need to make a trip to ikea.
