When do movers take apart furniture?

Most of the time, furniture stays as it is to preserve its strength. But if a piece will not safely fit through doors, stairways, or elevators, our team will carefully disassemble it and reassemble it at your new home.

Furniture that often needs disassembly

Common items that require extra care include:

• Beds, including lift-up beds, captain beds, and storage beds
• Cribs
• Sectional sofas and couches
• Dining tables
• Large desks
• Wardrobes

Pro Tip

Let your moving representative know about any specialty furniture. Some beds or storage pieces take extra time to take apart and set up.

How Six Moving handles disassembly and assembly

Our movers arrive fully equipped with industry-leading tools and supplies, including:

• Complete toolbox sets with a variety of bits and sizes
• Free plastic bags to safely store hardware
• Expertise with IKEA, flat-pack, and custom furniture

In most cases, no manuals are required unless a piece is custom or highly specialized. We also offer flat-pack furniture assembly and can set up any new furniture you bring to your home. Just request this service in advance so we can accommodate it.

Furniture placement made easy

Once your furniture arrives, our team will:

• Ask where you want each item placed
• Assemble furniture exactly as you want it
• Make sure everything is ready to use right away

Imagine moving into your new home after a long day and finding your bed fully assembled and ready for rest. That is the kind of peace of mind Six Moving delivers.
