how to move heavy furniture

Location redevelopment furniture in a room is often a difficult task, because in order to rearrange one or another large object to a new place, it has to be disassembled into its component parts. This can take a long time, especially if this item (for example, a bookcase or sideboard) will be filled with things during the rearrangement.

Indeed, to rearrange the book closet to a new place, you first need to remove all the books from it, then disassemble it, move it to a new place, assemble it, and install the books in it again. And this is not to mention the fact that the books will have to be folded somewhere while the furniture is being rearranged. The process can be greatly simplified if you move the cabinet without disassembling it.

And the best option is not only not to disassemble, but also to move it along with things. It is not easy to do this in the usual way, since the weight of the filled cabinet is quite large. In addition, when transferring such a design, situations may arise that lead to both damage to the cabinet itself and other interior items. The article considers an original way of rearranging a heavy cabinet without disassembling it.
