Secure your chest of drawers

First, consider different options for shipping your furniture. You may try to do it yourself, hire a man with a van or search for a transport company that will arrange the whole thing for you. This way or another, make sure the commode is secured properly.

Wrap it with a stretch foil or a bubble wrap. When wandering in a household items shopping mall, ask for corner guards or furniture edges made from polystyrene. That’s not obligatory, but if you want to be extra careful about the edges of your furniture, then this is something you should be keen to try.

Think about how you want it to be transported: in one piece or disassembled? If you think that disassembling the furniture will make it less stable during transport, just leave it as it is 🙂

If it’s too big and heavy and cannot come out in piece disassemble it carefully.

• remember to secure drawers with a tape, so they are motionless during transport
• bubblewrap all the parts and do not forget about the small elements

• …or wrap it up with the foil of your choice
• put small, decorative elements in a box, to separate them from the bigger pieces of the furniture
• you need to be extra careful with antiques – study the furniture body and structure to find the weakest elements and spots that need extra protection
