What is the easiest way to set up furniture on moving day?

The easiest way is to have the bulky furniture taken apart before the move and rebuilt at the new place the same day, so you sleep in a real bed the first night instead of on a mattress on the floor. Bag and label the hardware as pieces come apart, and set the beds up first at the new address.

Your moving-day furniture setup, step by step

1. Make a list of what comes apart: bed frames, cribs, wardrobes, tall shelves and anything too big for the doorway.
2. Bag and label every set of bolts as a piece is taken apart, so nothing goes missing between houses.
3. Clear a path and a spot for each piece before the truck arrives.
4. Build the beds first at the new place, then dressers, then everything else.
5. Anchor tall furniture to the wall once it is in its final spot.

Movers move boxes. Furniture is its own job.

A moving crew hauls your boxes and big items, but they rarely take apart and rebuild furniture with the hardware tracked. That gap is where the mattress ends up on the floor. A furniture pro handles both ends of the move so the bedroom is ready that night.
