# How to Disassemble a Wooden Futon
Although futons may vary slightly, depending on the manufacturer and design, the basic construction is the same. A simple wooden frame supports a futon pad to make a comfortable place for lounging. The frame converts simply to a bed by releasing and moving the back deck panel. When disassembling a futon, you'll follow the same directions you used to assemble it, only in reverse. Work methodically and store each piece safely so it does not become lost or damaged.

Remove the futon pad and set it aside in a clean, dry location. Set the back deck in the flat position. Remove plastic runners that fit into the grooves in the arms of the futon. Unscrew the bolts that attach the back deck to the seat deck of the futon. Slowly slide the back deck off and set it aside. Place bolts and plastic runners in a plastic bag or container for safekeeping.

Remove the side rails from the seat deck, if desired, or leave them in place. The goal is to break the futon down into pieces that you can stack for easy moving.
