Before you move your dresser, read this free guide to doing it safely. Movers.com explains how to pack it up, what to wrap it with, and how to carry it without hurting your back – or how to get free quotes from local experts.
Did you know that, even though bubble wrap is often used by professional movers, it should never be used directly on wooden furniture?
You do now, and that's just one of the many quick tips you can find in this new guide from Movers.com, that breaks down everything you need to know when packing up your dresser.
It explains the whole process step-by-step, starting with unpacking the drawers, and finishing with setting it up in your new home. Of course, this isn't the Movers.com guide you're reading right now, this is my guide to the movers guide... which sounds a little redundant now that I've typed it out loud.
If you would rather skip this nonsense and read the full, free guide directly - just click right here to visit their website.
It's okay, I don't mind if you skip my blog, honestly.
The full guide has all the same information, plus a bunch more, and it's still absolutely free and easy. It even has links to other guides from Movers.com that you may need along the way, like one that explains how to pack up all your clothing (outside of your dresser) for an upcoming move.
Obviously, not all dressers are the same, so while some steps may not apply to your situation, it's still a good idea to give it a read, before you start packing.
For example, it explains how and why you should remove any accessories first, such as mirrors or extra shelves. It also provides some quick tips for collecting all the little pieces and making sure they're properly stored so that you don't lose them in the move, and they're easy to access in the new house.
More importantly, though, it explains that bit I mentioned in the beginning, about using bubble wrap with wooden furniture. That's some pretty important information - so click right here to open the free guide, and make sure that you're wrapping your furniture properly.
It explains that dressers often require several layers of protective wrapping, and shows how to plan each layer. It also details all the materials you might need, which can vary depending on your apartment. For example, the guide explains that you may want to consider using moving straps for carrying large or heavy items, to reduce the stress on your back and knees.
What happens though, just for the sake of argument, if you read the entire guide - and then decide you no longer want to Do It Yourself?
That is an option, obviously. While the guides are meant to make things easier - they often help people understand just how much work moving is, and that's enough to convince them to hire a professional.
If you think you might fit into that category, don't worry, they have a way to help you out too - but instead of making it easier with a free guide to Doing It Yourself, they can help you save money by getting the best local movers.
Just like their free guides, it's probably easier than you think.
Here's how it works, just navigate over to the Movers.com website by clicking right here, and look for a big green button that says "Get Quotes." You can't miss it.
Click that button, and it will take you to a simple form that asks for some details about your upcoming move. Like where are you moving from, how far, and how much stuff is going with you.
With that information, Movers.com can get estimates for you from up to 7 of the top-rated local experts, and this is the best part - with absolutely no cost, and no obligation.
Not bad, right?
