1. Take It ApartIf your table legs come off, or your bed frame breaks down—go for it. Disassembling furniture makes everything easier to move and a lot less likely to get damaged.2. Wrap What MattersDon’t just toss a blanket over your stuff. Use moving blankets, plastic wrap, or padded covers to really protect your furniture. Even a layer or two of cardboard can save you from scratches.3. Use the Right ToolsFurniture sliders, lifting straps, or a dolly can make all the difference. Don’t try to muscle your way through a move. Your back—and your furniture—will thank you.4. Watch the CornersCorners and edges are the first to take a hit. Foam protectors or even thick towels can add a layer of security.5. Wrap Glass Like You Mean ItGlass tabletops, shelves, or mirrors should be wrapped tightly in bubble wrap and clearly marked as fragile. Don’t let them end up at the bottom of a stack.6. Tape Drawers ShutKeep drawers and cabinet doors closed with painter’s tape or stretch wrap. It’s a small step that prevents big problems.7. Ditch the Plastic (Sometimes)If you’re putting furniture in storage for more than a few days, skip the plastic wrap—especially on wood. It can trap moisture. Go for fabric covers or breathable materials instead.8. Label EverythingIt sounds simple, but labeling each piece (or its box of parts) saves you time and headaches later.9.
