How Do You Pack Armoires And Cabinets?
Armoires and cabinets are heavy furniture and although they are quite sturdy in comparison to other household items, a certain amount of consideration still goes into packing them properly when moving into a new house. • Detach the loose or movable components. Armoires and cabinets could have drawers and shelves that are not permanently fixed. These parts could easily slide and fall off when moving and lifting the whole piece of furniture around, damaging the part itself, the furniture or other items stored beside it. Consider detaching these components and packing them separately in a plastic bag. Just be sure to label it properly so you know which shelf or drawer goes into which armoire or cabinet. These types of furniture could also have glass doors. In this case you’ll have no choice but to remove and pack them in the same way you would pack mirrors. Be especially careful in removing the screws and hinges and storing these in small plastic bags. Again label these plastic bags prope
