Disassembly help: Mission-style desk doesn't fit through older doorways
Help! I just moved into a new house, built in the 1960s. The doorways are not as wide as my previous house. As a result, my prized Mission oak desk does not fit through most doorways. I managed to get it in the front doorway, but it is now trapped in the living room.
I was planning to move it into one of the bedrooms as a study, but 1) the table is too wide, 2) the Mission-style slats block it from being stood up on its side and rotated around the doorway, 3) standing it vertically is also too wide. I needed another ~1" of clearance.
The table should be able to squeeze through the doorway without the table top; but the top appears to be attached to the base with screws AND glue (and maybe dowels?), so it would not be easy to disassemble/reassemble. It will need to pass through x2 doorways, so taking apart the door frames is not appetizing either...
Looking for advice. How easily can this desk be disassembled, and more importantly reassembled? How would you approach the job - steps? precautions? tools needed? I would contact the manufacturer for guidance, but the Etsy shop (DesignStudios005) has gone out of business.
Reaching out as someone uninitiated in woodworking, but hoping to learn from the collective wisdom of this forum. Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks for the feedback so far. Please note that the front door is wider than the other doorways in the house (which is how the desk got to where it is currently stranded) AND there are x2 doorways standing between the desk and its intended destination, the study room. Also, rotating/pivoting through the doorway has been tried but is blocked by the Mission wood slats on x3 sides.
