Storage and Packing Advice for Heavy Furniture
Moving can be stressful and hard work. Broken furniture, missing items or spilt contents can be avoided if care is taken during the start of the packing process. Don’t leave packing to the last minute. The rush to get it all done will lead to items being packed without care and getting damaged. Set yourself goals and write a list. You will thank yourself when easily unpacking and moving into your new home.
Large furniture should be paid special attention in the pre planning stage. They need to be loaded into the moving trucks first. Make sure the movers will be able to easily access them to avoid time delays. If the furniture can be disassembled then make sure you take the time to do so. Prevent dust and dents on your furniture by covering with old thick blankets and tape or tie it on. If the furniture has removable legs then be sure to wrap these and label them. Any small screws or parts should be placed in an old pillow case and kept with the piece of furniture. Always be very careful when dealing with heavy and large furniture to avoid any bumps or bruises.
