Do I Have To Empty My Dressers?

 

 

 

Hi Everyone! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving and Hannukah!

 

Today's blog is a short one, but a good one.

 

One of the top questions I get asked on a daily basis from our great clients here at Fairprice Movers Inc., is "Do we have to empty our dressers?".

 

Generally speaking it's best when moving any piece of furniture with drawers to empty them. The reason? For the safety of the men, their surroundings while carrying a heavy piece of furniture, and to protect the tracks of your drawers from breaking under the pressure of weight from fully loaded drawers.

 

I usually say the rule of thumb to decide if you should or should not empty the dresser drawers is stairs. If you have the dresser going up or down, or both up and down, flights of stairs during your move, empty them. When a full dresser is tilted to be moved up and down stairs, it puts even more pressure on the tracks of your drawers, and makes it wayyy harder for the guys to  move gracefully.

 

If you don't have flights of stairs, or just a few entry steps, perhaps just take out the heavy pjs and sweaters, leaving underware and socks which are light, and we can shrink wrap the drawers to the dresser so that they don't bang around while the dresser is being moved.

 

Hopefully this helps!

 

See you soon for more tips on moving like a pro!
