Moving household furniture safely requires careful preparation and execution. All obstacles should be removed to protect the furniture. Furniture should be lifted at its strongest points. Specific items like seating furniture, tables, and clocks require attention when moving. Seating like chairs and sofas should be lifted by frame or rails, not the back, upholstery, or crests. Tables should be lifted by the apron, not the legs or top, to avoid damage. Padding should be wrapped around legs to prevent chipping.
