If you are someone who would rather do things themselves to ensure that your furniture does not get damaged then these easy steps would definitely be for you. Moving furniture can be very difficult, especially those big furniture pieces, the following steps will make you prepare and ensure that you easily move and store your furniture without damaging it:
Disassembly
Disassemble every piece of furniture that you can, you could easily store and move them if they are in lighter pieces. Label and keep every segment of piece of the furniture together. All the screws and assembly instructions should be kept in a small plastic bag and taped to a larger piece of the furniture. By doing this you would be avoiding any loss of pieces and you would be able to transport your furniture more easily.
Wax Fine Wood
If you wax any furniture made of fine wood, you would be avoiding getting scratches on it when you move and store the furniture.
Access ways
Check the clearance of your access ways, this is for large furniture that you can't dismantle. You may have to remove doors from hinges or even use windows to get larger pieces of furniture out of the house. So it would be a good idea to plan out the access ways beforehand so that you would already have the idea of where the large furniture would go when you move them.
Careful Storage
All the hard work that you have taken time to do so far would be in vain if you forget to be careful during storage. Make sure that you stack your furniture pieces carefully to avoid scratches, also you may use blankets or sheets to protect you furniture once it is on storage. Be mindful of things you stack on top of fragile pieces of furniture.
With these helpful steps in mind, preparing furniture for removal would be made an easy task.
