Whether a table top, china shelves, or a wall mirror, glass will always be a popular furniture item among customers. As a Cincinnati moving company since 2005, Move Cheap® has moved all styles of glass pieces for thousands of Cincinnati families. Often times, customers aren't sure how to prepare these glass items for their moving day, or even what to expect from the company that moves them. At Move Cheap®, we want to make sure your glass items make it from your old home to your new home. Here are a few tips to make moving glass items a cinch:
- Make sure that all loose glass items have been removed from their matching furniture pieces. Examples of these can be glass shelves from china cabinets, table inserts from coffee tables, and even light-bulbs from lamps.
- Mirrors and picture frames should be boxed or crated for maximum safety. These types of boxes can be purchased from your local U-Haul dealer or from your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers. Corner inserts or bubble wrap are also recommended.
- When placing items like mirrors into your moving truck, the glass should be stood standing up. Picture frames and mirrors should never be laid flat. Moving trucks have a tendency to constantly vibrate and bounce frequently. Laying glass pieces flat leaves them prone to breaking and shattering easily.
There you have it! A few tips to help get your move underway. As always, the movers at Move Cheap® come complete with this knowledge to help you have a successful move.
From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
