Tips for Packing Heavy Furniture
When you’re ready to start packing heavy furniture, you will want to think ahead by following a few simple tips. If you follow these four essential tips, you’ll save yourself a ton of strain and headaches.
Disassemble the items
For large items such as bookshelves, beds, cabinets, dressers, and tables, you’ll want to start by disassembling the prominent large pieces. Doing this will make your moving process much lighter. You may wish to consult manuals to help you properly disconnect the main parts of your furniture.
Protect your items
You should review your furniture items and look for any areas that may be weaker, or may be prone to damage during your relocation. Locate these areas, and try to protect them with paper pads, or bubble wrap. Use packing tape to secure protection and help ease the moving situation.
Wrap it all
You should consider wrapping all your large furniture pieces with quilted moving blankets. Doing so will add an extra cushion of protection for your possessions.
