    LPT: Tape the allen keys that comes with the furniture to its underside, so you have the exact right tool on the exact furniture you’re trying to disassemble later on in the same place.

      The first time I tried this was with my kid’s crib. I ended up forgetting it was there and I had to borrow tools from the movers instead. I got most of the way through the disassembly before finding the hidden allen key and realizing I had outsmarted myself.

      I just CBA to use hex keys. Get an electric screwdriver with a decent hex bit set and it’ll last a lifetime.
