Protecting furniture during a move is neither coincidence nor luck — it is the result of an interconnected chain of correct procedures that starts before touching the first piece and ends with arranging it in your new home. Here is the complete guide to protecting your furniture at every stage.
Stage One: Proper Packing
Every piece has its suitable packing: glass and mirrors in bubble wrap then heavy-duty cardboard, wood in moving blankets secured with stretch film, sofas and upholstery in full stretch wrap, and appliances in shock-absorbing materials. Random packing — wrapping everything in plastic only — is a leading cause of scratches on glossy surfaces.
Stage Two: Professional Dismantling
Dismantled pieces are easier to carry and far less prone to breakage than large assembled ones. Bedroom sets, built-in wardrobes and large tables should be dismantled with proper tools, with parts labeled and screws kept safe — the Marasi team handles all of this.
Stage Three: Protecting Hallways and the Home
Wall corners, door frames and staircases are what furniture hits most. Protecting them with covers protects your furniture and both your old and new homes — a small scratch on a rented home’s wall could cost you part of your deposit.
Stage Four: Thoughtful Loading
Loading is not random lifting: heavy pieces go first deep into the truck, paths are planned before any piece is lifted, and long pieces are carried by two people in sync. Rushing this stage causes most breakage.
Stage Five: In-Truck Arrangement
Here is where the real art shows: heavy pieces at the bottom forming a stable base, delicate pieces on top away from any pressure, gaps filled with blankets and cushions to prevent movement, and everything secured with dedicated straps. A well-arranged truck means zero movement on the road.
Stage Six: Transport and Unloading
Calm driving on Riyadh’s roads while slowing down for bumps is part of protection — as is organized unloading with the same care as loading.
