Small furniture move
A "small furniture move" typically refers to the relocation of a limited number of furniture items, often within the same building, complex, or a very short distance. It's distinct from a full household move and usually doesn't involve the entire contents of a home
Key Characteristics:
Limited Scope: Involves moving a few specific pieces of furniture (e.g., a sofa, a bed, a dresser, a dining table and chairs, a desk, an armoire).
Short Distance: Often takes place within the same residence (room to room), within the same apartment building (one floor to another, one unit to another), or to a nearby location (e.g., from a house to a storage unit down the street, or a short local move).
Fewer Items: Generally involves 1-10 larger furniture pieces, though the exact number can vary. It usually doesn't include boxes of personal belongings, kitchen items, or extensive packing.
Reduced Labor: Requires fewer movers and less time compared to a full move.
Simpler Logistics: May not require a large moving truck, and sometimes a van or smaller truck is sufficient. Disassembly and reassembly might be minimal or limited to a few specific items (like beds).
Common Scenarios for Small Furniture Moves:
Internal Rearrangement: Moving furniture between rooms for redecorating, renovations, or staging.
Apartment/Condo Moves: Relocating a few key pieces when downsizing or moving within the same complex.
Student Moves: Moving dorm room furniture or a few essential items to a new apartment.
Office Furniture Relocation: Moving a desk, filing cabinet, or a few chairs within an office or to a nearby office.
Estate Clearing: Moving specific pieces of furniture from an inherited property to another location.
Donation or Disposal: Moving furniture to a donation center, a friend's house, or to the curb for large item pickup.
Storage Unit Transfer: Moving items into or out of a nearby storage unit.
New Furniture Delivery & Placement: Sometimes involves moving existing furniture to make room for new deliveries.
Services Often Included:
Loading and Unloading: Safely moving items onto and off the transport vehicle.
Transportation: Getting the items from point A to point B.
Basic Protection: Wrapping delicate items or using moving blankets to prevent scratches.
Disassembly/Reassembly (Limited): Taking apart and putting together items like beds or simple tables if necessary.
