Tables are one of the more awkward items you have to deal with when moving. Tables can take up a lot of space in your moving truck or storage container if not correctly packed. Here are some tips that may help:

• For large tables, such as dining room tables, disassemble everything you can. Take the legs off if possible. Keep any hardware from the table in a sealed bag or container so they won’t get lost. Taping a bag with the hardware in it to the underside of the table is a good idea.
• If the legs have been removed, wrap them in something that provides protection. Table legs can become damaged if not properly wrapped.
• Also cover the table top with a pad, moving blanket, or similar solution to prevent your tabletop from getting scratched.
• Stand the tabletop upright, against the wall of the storage container or moving truck. This also helps minimize any damage that may occur during storage and/or transport.

Following these tips will help ensure your table will come out of storage or moving in the same condition as it went in.
