How to Prep Furniture For Moving

Are you worried about your priceless furniture getting damaged during the moving process? Are you unsure of how to prep your furniture? A home cannot be a home without furniture. Couches, tables, chairs, desks - much of what we decorate our home with - falls into this category, and is important to making a home feel as though it is our own. Below are some helpful tips for preparing your furniture for the move.

Disassemble

Pay Attention to Details

From delicate corners to the tiniest of parts, it is important to keep your eyes on the details.

• Bag and label any nuts, screws, and parts
• Bubble wrap any fragile furniture parts 
• Use moving blankets if available

Secure Safely 

While it's tempting to tape the doors of your dresser closed before moving it, NEVER use tape on furniture! Most finishes - whether fabric, wood, glass or metal - can be easily damaged by the adhesive. Professional movers are prepared to secure drawers and other mobile parts of your furniture with large rubber bands.
