How to Pack a Dresser for Moving?

Last month, I moved to a new apartment. Trust me, the only problem that I faced was understanding how to pack a dresser for moving. The dresser also had a big mirror attached to it. The dresser was filled with sentimental mementos, delicate objects, and moving it carefully was made more difficult because of the mirror. So, I opted for a few steps to successfully pack my dresser.

How to Pack a Dresser Mirror for Moving?

1. Take everything out of the drawers. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect delicate things.

2. Drawers can be taken out and packed separately, or they can be taped and covered with plastic wrap.

3. Take out the mirror, if you can, and cover it with cardboard or heavy moving blankets. If it's fixed, wrap bubble wrap over it entirely and tape it in place.

4. To protect the dresser, wrap it in cushioning or moving blankets and fasten it with stretch wrap.

The dresser can be effortlessly moved between levels by using furniture sliders below it. To prevent harm or damage, lift slowly and carefully from the base rather than the drawers.

When I was preparing my move from Ajmer to Delhi, I needed to pack my dresser, but I didn’t understand how to wrap a dresser for moving. I looked up a few ways online, and though it might take some time, here is a way in which you can successfully pack your dresser for moving. 

What are the Steps of Wrapping a Dresser for Moving? 

• I started by emptying the dresser entirely. I took out every single piece of clothing, all my accessories, and every little object stashed in the drawers. This allowed me to declutter the dresser by removing unnecessary things. It also made the dresser lighter for moving. 

• I then shifted my focus on safeguarding the dresser itself. To avoid scratches and damage during transit, I covered the entire item with moving blankets. I sealed the drawers with packing tape to make sure nothing would fall out. 

• The challenging and time-consuming part was packing all the stuff of the dresser. I carefully folded my clothes and put them inside strong cartons. 

• Used bubble wrap to cushion delicate goods, such as jewellery or small accessories, before putting them in smaller boxes. 

• I took care to identify every box on moving day, including the room it belongs in and its contents. This made unpacking much easier.

• Packing my dresser was a simple but time-consuming procedure that kept me organised and made sure everything got to my new house safely, without any issue.

This is all about how to wrap dresser for moving. Hope this helps!

A dresser is more difficult to pack and move, so I decided to give it to my landlord before moving out. However, my landlord refused to take it, so I had to pack and move it with me. Thus, if you are wondering how to pack a dresser for moving, I can share a few steps that I followed.

What is the Process of Wrapping a Dresser for Moving?

• Empty the content:

Moving a dresser with its drawers filled with clothes and linens increases the risk of damage to the gliders since the drawers will bounce around inside the moving truck. It is therefore advisable that you pack your dresser drawer contents into cartons.

• Keep the drawers in the dresser: 

Generally speaking, it's preferable to keep the drawers in your dresser in place. In this manner, moving the complete piece of furniture simply requires one trip. 

• Wrap the dresser to keep the drawers in place:

Masking tape is the best tape to use for this purpose because other types of tape can cause harm to the adhesive finish. To wrap your dresser and keep the drawers from falling out, use plastic wrap if you don't have any masking tape. Next, use packing tape to secure the padding in place and gently wrap the dresser in a moving blanket. In this way, the furniture is shielded from dents and scratches.

• Mirror removal: 

Take off any large mirrors on your dresser and wrap them individually for shipping. Before wrapping the dresser, cover any mirror inlays on the drawers themselves with cardboard. Additionally, mark the location of the glass on the exterior of the cushioning so that the movers know not to apply pressure there.

• Handle the dresser with caution:

Several people might be required to lift it, depending on its dimensions. If you engage professional movers for the job, they will be able to handle the heavy lifting required to move a dresser.
