Packing/Moving Furniture

Moving your furniture is always a hassle. Here are some tips on how to help movers move your furniture more easily and more safely:
  • Dissasemble anything you can. Take off legs from couches, pillows, bed frames etc. Be sure to keep these items in a box labeled for the furniture that you dismantled.
  • All the legs of couches, tables, chairs and desks that cant be dissasembled should be wrapped in bubble wrap for their protection.
  • Store all screws, nuts, bolts, etc.. Plastic bags are the most reliable storage for these items as they dont break easily and everything will stay together.
  • All drawers should be taped shut, especially if you are moving the item by hand. If the peice of furniture is being stored in a box, it doesnt need to be taped shut.
  • Wrap all glass (tabletops, some cabinets, etc.) with a blanket or cloth to prevent scratches and other damage to it.
