Because wood is more delicate than other types of material, wooden furniture is particularly susceptible to damage during a move and requires special considerations for packing and transportation. Movers.com says that while obtaining the appropriate packing equipment is one of the most important things readers can do to protect their pieces, they must also ensure that any moving parts are secured to avoid the risk of damage.
The guide explains that bubble wrap and other types of plastic wrap are not suitable for wooden furniture because they can trap moisture, which can then infiltrate the pores of the material. Plastic packing materials should only be considered if they will not make direct contact with the surface of the piece. Movers.com instead advises readers to use furniture pads, moving blankets, or foam padding, and to cover as much exposed wood as possible to cushion the pieces from impact.
To further lower the chances of damage, knobs, handles, casters, and legs should be removed and stored separately before the pieces are wrapped. Furniture with moving parts, such as drawers or cabinets, can be tied shut with twine, but Movers.com advises readers to wrap these pieces first; as with plastic, coarse twine and tape can damage wooden surfaces and should not be left in direct contact with them.
When transporting belongings, the guide recommends that readers use dollies for larger, heavier pieces or otherwise avoid dragging or sliding the furniture along the ground. Even after the item has been secured in the moving truck, readers should refrain from stacking other belongings on top, as the added weight may warp the wood.
For additional assurance, individuals can also enlist the help of professional movers who are trained to transport delicate furniture. Readers can use Movers.com’s directory to find such companies, along with professionals who offer services for apartment moves and other jobs requiring specialized experience.
