Moving Tips

  1. 1Remove all drawers before moving — this reduces weight by 40-60 pounds and prevents damage.
  2. 2Wrap the dresser in moving blankets or stretch wrap to protect the finish.
  3. 3Carry the dresser on its back (face up) to prevent tipping — never on its side if drawers are still in.
  4. 4Use furniture sliders on hardwood floors to avoid scratching.
