How do I prepare furniture for moving?

LXD treats your furniture with the care it deserves. Our furniture delivery is second to none. Our trained experts wrap and pack furniture with the right protections to avoid any damage during storage and movement. 

Here are our top 7 suggestions for wrapping furniture for moving:

1. Inspect and document any flaws or damage before doing any wrapping or moving
2. Plastic wrap is very good at protecting from scratches and other surface damage
3. Make sure you have enough strong, dedicated people available before you begin moving. While dollies and other tools can help, the best practice is always to have the right people from the beginning
4. Measure larger furniture and any doorways or other tight spaces before moving day. We recommend Dr. Sofa if you aren’t sure if something can fit or if you know you need to disassemble and reassemble your furniture to move it
5. Make sure you clean before and after moving. Moving can stir up a lot of dust. We recommend opening windows or using an air filter as well to capture the dust or move it out of your space
6. Ensure that your transport vehicle has appropriate tie-down hooks and straps. Even the best packaging can’t prevent damage to furniture moving freely in transport
7. Take your time. It’s easy to settle too quickly for good enough and leave your furniture exposed
