There are many reasons why it may be an advantage to have furniture that requires minimal effort to assemble and disassemble. Some of those reasons are:
- You have a disability that limits your movements
- You have a disability that limits your ability to understand instructions
- You’re not good at following assembly instructions
- You move a lot
Whatever the reason, these furniture items can fill a home with the easiest furniture pieces to assemble. And they don’t require a single tool.

14. Amazon Basics Folding Bed Frame
The legs of this bed frame can be folded down while the rest can be folded in half. It’s not only sturdy but so easy to carry and transport.

Conclusion
The ease of which these furniture pieces can be assembled, stored and transported is very practical for many people. An added bonus is for people with limited physical mobility to add a little independence into their lives. For example, people who suffer from joint issues like arthritis may not be able to use tools like a screwdriver or drill but want the ability to assemble their own furniture or rearrange their furniture without asking for help. Having a little more control in their home environment can make a big difference to their well-being.
