How to Pack End and Coffee Tables

1) Clear and empty items from the table

Packing up a dining room set is straightforward, but what if you have a coffee table or end tables with drawers? Remove items from the top, shelves, and drawers of the table. Use painters tape or an adhesive tape that won’t damage the finish and securely tape the front of drawers or door to the frame of the table frame.

Many accent chairs and sofas have removable feet, to make it easier to move the furniture through doorways and hallways. If you remove the feet, be sure to bubble wrap them. If your chair or sofa has a zippered compartment underneath it, store feet there during moving; if not, place all the feet in a box and label it.

Make sure that you tape tight so that the blankets are secure wrapped around the sofa or chair. Overlap blankets and close any flaps that may occur, this will ensure you furniture is protected.
