Relocating heavy pieces of furniture doesn’t sound like the most fun of tasks – and it usually isn’t. It doesn’t matter if you are moving inside Chicago or relocating out of town. Planning, packing, and moving can get the best of you. But, what about moving on your own, DIY style, and not getting help from professional movers? For example, relocating big pieces of furniture on your own is not easy. That’s why you have to be completely sure you can and need to do it.
Desks, like one in your home office, are usually big, bulky, and heavy. And if your final decision is to relocate it, you have to do it in a simple and safe manner. How to relocate a heavy and bulky desk without movers? Let’s check some crucial steps on how to do it properly and safely.
Disassemble if Needed
Some desks don’t have to be disassembled, but some are too big and bulky to be transported in one piece. Remove the drawers and then detach all the pieces like a glass panel, trays, etc. If the desk has the shape of the letter L, see how you can separate it into two.
Protect & Pack
All the parts you have disassembled should be appropriately packed. Before packing, check what needs protection such as bubble wrap, packing paper, etc. For example, glass parts should be wrapped and secured with tape before they are packed.
Use Sliders & Get Help
If the majority of your desk is still in one piece, sliders will make the job easier by moving it around. Of course, the more capable friends or family members you invite to help you, the better it will go.
