Steps to Move Furniture Safely

1.      Gather inventory of all the items. Also consider the time to be taken on disassembling and preparing it, and the items you should prepare in advance.

2.      Choose the tools to disassemble table tops, legs, frames or doors, if any. Have a permanent marker and a plastic bag on hand.

3.      Gather the pieces of furniture that should be disassembled first. Since they could be time consuming, it is better to do it whenever you feel energetic.

4.      Remove all the parts you can. In particular, you can remove glass tops, table legs, bed frames and shelves. Remove only one piece of furniture at a time and save all the washers, nuts and bolts in the plastic bag. In order to identify which piece belongs to which furniture, you can place a mark on outside.

5.      Pack the bags with tape underside. Be sure to avoid securing them to the spots where it could be damaged when you remove the tape.

6.      If any furniture has numerous parts, then you can number them like this – “1 of 5”, “2 of 5” and so on. Apply a small sticker underside.

7.      Also secure the instruction manual that come with furniture because it will help you on reassembly. If you have large number of manuals, then pack them in another box and mark “Instruction manuals”.

8.      Protect fine wood furnishings by applying wax to prevent scratches.

9.      Remove all the pillows and cushions and keep them on safe, clean garbage bags. Make sure the bags have no holes because they can be used for protection of fragile pieces.

10.  Use bubble wrap or blankets to protect the pieces and secure it with rope or tape. Don’t stick tape directly on finished or painted surfaces.
