Disassembling Furniture for a Move

Heavy and specialty items need the right technique and equipment. Handling disassembling furniture for a move safely protects both the item and your home from damage.

The right equipment matters

• Furniture dollies and appliance hand trucks for heavy loads.
• Straps and blankets to secure and protect surfaces.
• Floor runners and door-frame padding to prevent damage.
• Extra crew for items that are awkward or very heavy.

Plan the path first

Measure doorways, hallways, and stairwells before moving day. Knowing whether an item clears a corner — or needs to be disassembled — prevents last-minute problems and injuries.

Items that need special handling

1. Pianos and pool tables: specialized equipment and multiple movers.
2. Safes and gym equipment: weight distribution and floor protection.
3. Antiques, art, and glass: custom padding and careful loading.
4. Large appliances: disconnect and secure doors in advance.
