Moving Tips - Armoires
Moving My Armoire
Armoires can be great packing spaces for lightweight items like pillows, lamp shades, even hanging clothes, if you use a tight tension rod inside. If you are going to pack a lamp shade inside, be certain to pad it all around with lots of lightly wadded packing paper or bubble wrap.
What you will need: Rope, large moving pads or old blankets. You can get all of the packing supplies you will need here.
How to pack: Remove all the contents from the shelves. Remove legs if possible. Place wing nuts or screws in a resealable plastic bag, label it and tape it to the underside of the furniture piece.
Do not try to ship your CDs, TV, cards and games, or other loose items inside the armoire. They will be jostled around and probably damaged. If you have drawers you can leave some items inside if they are not too heavy. Fill in the empty spaces with wadded packing paper and tape the drawers shut.
Larger empty spaces can be filled in with lightweight items like pillows and lamp shades (properly padded with lightly wadded up packing paper or bubble wrap). Several lamp shades can be stacked together with packing paper in between.
Close and lock your doors, if possible, or tie the handles together. Tie large padding or old blankets around the outside of the armoire.
