Struggling with oversized furniture? Discover expert tips from Philadelphia’s Pro Movers on how to move bulky pieces safely and efficiently—without the stress!
Large furniture pieces like sectionals, armoires, and wardrobes are often heavy, awkward, and just barely fit through standard doorways. And Philadelphia homes? Many have narrow staircases and tight entryways that make moving even tougher.
1. Measure Everything First
Before you even lift a finger, measure your furniture and all doorways, staircases, and hallways. You might be surprised what won’t fit.
2. Take It Apart (When Possible)
Many oversized pieces can be partially disassembled. Remove legs from couches, detach shelves, and take off cushions to lighten the load.
3. Protect Your Home (and Your Furniture)
Use blankets, corner guards, and floor protectors to avoid damage. Don’t let a move leave marks on your new place.
4. Use the Right Equipment
Furniture sliders, lifting straps, and dollies aren’t just for pros—they make your life way easier. Trust us.
5. Don’t Force It
If a piece doesn’t want to go, forcing it through can damage the furniture and your home. Sometimes, rotating or angling it slightly can make all the difference.
6. Ask for Help
Even a two-person team can struggle with some pieces. If you're not 100% confident, bring in pros—it’s safer and faster.
