I got this cabinet for free but when i got it home i found i can't get it through a bend in a low ceiling corridor. It's just too tall.
I'm gonna need to take it apart. What's the best way to remove a side board without damaging anything? obviously it already needs sanding and repainting but i don't really have time for that right now so i'd rather not make it worse.
I've got some woodworking tools around, but honestly i'm clueless.
help?
This is what i'm working with. Looks like the boards are stapled in place, if there's glue i'm not seeing any runoffs.
Who does that?? And how is it so fucking sturdy?!
So yeah. How do i dismantle a side without leaving visible damage?
Thanks best board.

are you slow? pull the staples out?

High strength electromagnet, to pull the staples out, assuming they're iron or steel.
other than that, there' is no other way that I know of to take staples that deep out without digging at it with the sharper side of a hammer
if it's too tall just put the cabinet on it's side, get circular saw, and literally just cut it down on one side to the height you want it at, when done put a fresh new board on the top (or rip the old one off the now severed piece and and put it on the now shorter cabinet
I have included a shitty diagram
you could probably just take it apart and build an entirely better one for 20 bux
sand and paint is just finish if you're leaving it indoors all the time.
Fuck it if you damage it.
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to make furniture THAT big and not make it easy to break apart ought to be shot.

also some math might help.
I don't know your house but maybe you haven't thought about it hard enough.

I see, thanks for the comments. Not sure how i feel about sawing it down.
Hmm, i'll try to drill down to the staples' depth and pry them out. inb4 it's actually biscuits and glue plus the staples.

The wood alone would cost 3 times that. I effectively live in a desert.
