Why is it important to pack furniture? And what issues does proper packing prevent?
- Firstly, furniture needs protection from environmental exposure during a move. Rain or snow can unexpectedly strike on moving day, and dust on a hot day can be bothersome. Some pieces of furniture can be sensitive to direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes.
- Secondly, packing helps prevent mechanical damage. Even if the movers are careful, unpredictable situations can happen. A sudden stop or collision with other items can result in scratches, chips, or broken mirrors.
- Lastly, proper packing is necessary to prevent damage from vibrations during transportation. The packaging material absorbs shocks and bumps along the way, ensuring the furniture remains intact.
