FURNITURE MOVING – 5 Tips

FURNITURE REMOVAL

Are you preparing for a move? If so, you are probably excited about the change and ready to start a new life in a new area. However, there is a lot to organize and a lot of work to do. One of the biggest challenges you will face is moving your furniture. This can be a tiring, time-consuming and complex task, especially if you have to do it yourself.

Luckily, you always have the option of turning to a reliable moving company for help. Whatever your choice, here are some helpful tips for stress-free furniture moving:

Tip #1: Dismantle what you can

Many pieces of furniture can be disassembled, folded, or “flattened” to make them easier to transport. For example, a wooden table might have legs that are attached with removable supports; a sofa might have feet that you can remove; and most bed frames can be disassembled to make moving easier.

The idea is not to complicate your life further by trying to lift heavy furniture in its entirety. If you can disassemble it, do so: it will be easier for everyone.

Tip #2: Keep track of your screws and bolts

After disassembling your furniture, make sure you don't lose any of the parts needed to reassemble it! Screws, bolts, washers, and other small parts should be stored in a safe place, such as a resealable clear bag. Label each bag to identify which piece of furniture they belong to, so it's easier to reassemble them.

Tip #3: Use the right moving equipment

You want to move your furniture, but you don't want to hurt your back doing it. If you're moving by yourself, make sure you use the right equipment to protect yourself and make the job easier. A dolly with wheels can be a great help for bulky furniture. Of course, if you hire professional movers, you won't have to worry about these things: they'll take care of everything, while you can relax!

Tip #4: Wrap furniture in protective blankets

Without proper protection, furniture can easily get damaged during transport… or even cause damage to other items! For this reason, it is always a good idea to wrap furniture in thick blankets or bubble wrap, especially for the more delicate parts. Make sure the protective covering is well secured with ropes or tape to avoid risks during loading or unloading.

Tip #5: Move furniture slowly and carefully

Each piece of furniture should arrive at its destination without dents, scratches or damage. At the same time, it is important to prevent the furniture from damaging walls, doors or floors in the old or new home. Move the furniture slowly and carefully, taking special care when moving it through narrow doorways or stairs.
