What’s going on guys I’m doing a stealth grow in my old dresser drawer and I’m liking the setup cause originally it was suppose to be a “micro grow” since I’m now in apartment. but I realized if I cut the ceiling & the part in the middle I can raise my lights and utilize more space. Not really a micro grower so the bigger the better ...

this dresser is kind of hard to dismantle due to my lack of tools... don’t even really know what I need? So anyone have any design suggestions and know any tools I need to cut those 2 this off

Any flat bladed $1 store paint or putty knife made of decent steel and a hammer if neanderthaling it. And a hammer or equivalent weighted fulcrum generating exponential PSI. LMAO.

Place the bade flat on surface against board base where removal is required. Maintain a shallow angle and slowly tap away working across the length of the board at joint. Sharpness and blade flex will determine your efficiency cleanliness.

Make sure there are no screws under the vinyl from outside the cabinet.

Oh lord.

If it's just wood glue, then a putty knife(as was stated above) and rubbing alcohol.
Rubbing alcohol will soften the wood glue and make the stabbing w/ the putty knife much easier.

Not sure what type of joinery that cabinet has. Looks like it has some type of hex/allen + dowel thing that might be going on.
Make sure all that is out before you go karate chopping it all down.

A chisel can work for prying, but you risk snapping or chipping something if you do it wrong.
You can always caulk your flaws though.

Also not sure what those brackets are. There could be shit under the vinyl as said. Typically customer assembled products are not that intricate because the companies don't want to risk people buying their stuff and having them taking it back in droves because they can't figure out how to join the pieces. So most of that stuff is just screw(or another bit) assembly required. Some items have those screw dowel things which will lock the pieces in place.

That almost looks like cam lock furniture. Do those two screws make a half turn and come off the pins? Also as stated may be a good idea to rebrace that with some L brackets when done
