Got a big
office move on the horizon? Moving your office can be a bit overwhelming, but don't stress. We've got the lowdown on something important that's often overlooked: packing those office chairs.
Why the Right Packing Matters
Before we jump into the how-to, let's chat about why
packing your office chairs the right way is a big deal. When you're moving chairs, you risk things like breaking the structure, messing up the fancy fabric, or even damaging the wheels. Not packing them up properly could mean forking out cash for repairs or replacements. Plus, keeping your office chairs in top-notch shape is crucial for keeping the work vibe cool. Comfortable chairs mean happy and productive employees. So, making sure those chairs land in the new office without a scratch is a big deal.
Tools of the Trade
➤ Bubble Wrap: Like a soft shield to keep your chairs safe during the move.
➤ Boxes: Get ones that comfortably fit your chairs without a squeeze.
➤ Packing Tape: Stick things together securely.
➤ Labels and a Marker: For tagging your chairs like a pro.
➤ Tools: Just basic stuff like screwdrivers or wrenches to take apart some chair bits.
Check out our guide on where to snag boxes and crates for moving.
Get the Chair Ready
Take off any parts that can be detached, like armrests or wheels. Makes things easier and less risky. Snap some pics from all angles before you take it apart. You'll thank yourself later when it's time to put it back together.
Wrap It Up
Use bubble wrap to cover the chair completely. Make sure everything, including the backrest, seat, and arms, is wrapped up nice. Pay extra attention to the delicate parts. Seal it up with packing tape. Not too much, though – too much tape can be a pain to remove.
Box It Up
Pick a box that fits your chair and its pieces without cramming. Pop the chair and its parts into the box. Add more bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or a moving blanket to stop things from jiggling around.
Tips for Moving Lots of Chairs
Stack them up smart to save space in the moving truck. Just make sure they're wrapped up to avoid any bumps. Label each box with the chair's name or a code and mark it as fragile. Keep a list of what you packed so nothing gets left behind. Last Check Before You Roll
