What do I do about the bed?

I am moving into a townhouse with two girls. One of the girl’s parents’ owns the whole place. When I went to visit the house. I saw that there was a full-size bed in the room. I asked the girl whose dad owns the place if I would be able to disassemble the bed to bring in my own queen bed she said that she thinks it’ll be fine, that she couldn’t see why it’d be a problem and that I could just put all the pieces in the closet. So I signed the agreement and everything’s in place.

However, now she’s saying that her parents are not comfortable with me, taking the bed apart, and that if for some reason, if I was not able to put it back together it would come out of my security deposit.

I responded and said that I’m OK with it coming out of my deposit if I can’t put it back together and worst case scenario, I’ll buy them a new bed when I move out because I really want my queen bed and I don’t want to move into a place with the bed that’s already been used and is significantly smaller than what I’m used to, not to mention having to find something to do with my bed if I can’t bring it.

My question is am I wrong for thinking that I should be able to disassemble the bed if I want because I’m renting the room or is it better to just keep the landlords happy in the sense and concede?
