Protect Your Furniture During NYC Relocation With Professional Moving Tips

The simple sofa has become so much more in recent years. A movie theater. A workstation. A desk. A conference room.

Americans are spending more time than ever on their home furniture, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Formerly just a place to relax after hours, the sofa is now a place where workers answer emails, conduct conference calls, and perform countless other work-from-home tasks.

The number of Americans working at least partially from home jumped from just under 6 percent in 2019 to more than 28 percent in 2023, according to the BLS. Which means employees are spending a significant part of their days working from sofas, recliners, and dining room tables. And they're investing in higher-quality furniture to prevent chronic aches and pains.

It's exciting to see that new couch delivered; it's not as fun to contemplate carrying it down the stairs to the moving truck. But this guide from relocation experts at Movers.com shares tips on packing your furniture to keep it in top shape when it arrives at your next work-from-home office in New York City.

Some highlights include:

• Inventory your furniture first to make sure you have all the packing supplies you need, including bubble wrap, stretch wrap, resealable bags, and permanent markers.
• Clean dust and dirt from your furniture before packing to avoid friction scratches from grinding debris.
• Disassemble furniture so the smaller pieces are easier to cover and move through narrow door frames.
• Secure protective wrapping with tape or string.
• Shrink wrap upholstered furniture to avoid tears.
