Relocation, whether it’s from one to the other part of Chicago (for example, moving to Highland Park) or relocating long distance, is a complex process that consists of many different elements. We have to pay special attention to every aspect of the relocation, especially to the furniture that is complicated to assemble and disassemble, and which is important for us. An office desk is an essential piece of furniture and can be quite heavy and bulky. Whether you are preparing for office move or packing up a desk from your home office, here are some tips and steps on how to do it.
Evaluate Desk’s Condition
Bulky items can be a pain to relocate and the cost of relocation due to their weight can exceed the value of the items. That’s why you need to assess carefully – is it worth it to relocate your desk? Is your desk in good condition or do you need a new one? Will it fit into your new interior? After you weigh in all the pros and cons and realize it is worth it after all, then it’s time to start packing up your desk.
Packing Your Desk
If you need to pack the desk by yourself, you will need a few packing supplies to protect it. Depending on the size and the type of the desk, it may or may not need to be disassembled. Moving blankets, packing tape, sliders, or even bubble wrap will be needed, depending on the type of material the desk consists of. Make sure to wrap and protect each disassembled part and save all the screws and pieces properly by labeling the container in which they will be stored. If the professionals do it for you, you will be spared from all the hassle.
Relocation
If you are DIY-ing the relocation process, you might need friends and family to help you load the moving truck. However, if the professional Chicago movers will help with the job, make sure to make space for them to come through while carrying the stuff around and loading the moving truck. Good luck.
