Can Movers Move Just One Piece of Furniture?

Yes. Professional movers can often move a single piece of furniture or just a few items, depending on the type of furniture, locations, access conditions, and the moving company's services.

You don't necessarily need to be moving an entire house to hire professional movers.

Someone might need help moving a couch, bedroom set, dining table, piano, safe, appliance, oversized piece of furniture, or another large item that is difficult to move without the proper equipment and manpower.

Why Hire Movers for One Piece of Furniture?

Large furniture can be surprisingly difficult to move safely.

A single item may be:

Heavy
Oversized
Awkwardly shaped
Difficult to carry through a doorway
Difficult to navigate around stairs
Too large for a personal vehicle
Too heavy for one or two people
Easily damaged during transportation

Professional movers have equipment and experience that can make handling large furniture easier.

What Furniture Can Professional Movers Move?

Depending on the company's equipment and services, movers may be able to handle items such as:

Sofas
Sectionals
Recliners
Dining tables
Bedroom furniture
Dressers
Cabinets
Bookcases
Mattresses
Appliances
Exercise equipment
Office furniture
Large televisions
Safes
Pianos
Pool tables
Other oversized furniture

Always tell the moving company what you're moving before scheduling the job, particularly when the item is unusually heavy or large.

Can Movers Move Furniture From One Room to Another?

Yes. Moving services aren't necessarily limited to transporting belongings between two different homes.

You may need help moving furniture:

From one room to another
From an upstairs room downstairs
From a garage into a house
From a house into a garage
Between offices
Into or out of storage
From a retail location to a residence
Between commercial locations

If the furniture is difficult to move yourself, professional labor can be useful even when the item isn't leaving the property.

How Do Movers Get Large Furniture Through a Doorway?

One of the biggest challenges with furniture moving is determining whether an item can safely pass through the available space.

Movers may need to consider:

Doorway width
Hallway width
Ceiling height
Stairway dimensions
Furniture dimensions
Furniture construction
Turning space
Railings
Walls and corners
Exterior access

In some cases, furniture can be carefully rotated or tilted to navigate an opening.

Some pieces may also need to be partially disassembled before they can be moved.

Can Movers Disassemble and Reassemble Furniture?

Some furniture can be disassembled to make transportation easier.

Examples can include:

Bed frames
Tables
Desks
Shelving
Certain sectional sofas
Large furniture pieces

Not every item should be disassembled, however.

If you need disassembly or reassembly, tell the moving company before the move so they can determine whether that service is available and what will be required.

How Do Movers Protect Furniture?

Furniture can be exposed to bumps, scratches, dirt, and other hazards during a move.

Professional movers may use moving equipment and protective materials appropriate for the item being handled.

Depending on the furniture, protection may involve:

Moving blankets
Protective wrapping
Padding
Straps
Dollies
Furniture pads
Careful placement inside the moving truck

The specific protection used can depend on the furniture and the circumstances of the move.

Can Movers Move Furniture Into Storage?

Yes. Moving furniture into a storage unit is another common reason people hire professional movers.

A move might involve transporting furniture:

Home → Storage

Storage → Home

Storage → New Home

Business → Storage

If you're moving furniture into storage, consider the size of the storage unit and how the items will be arranged.

Professional movers can help with the transportation and handling of the furniture, while customers should confirm the storage facility's access and scheduling requirements.

What If My Furniture Won't Fit Through the Door?

Don't force it.

Trying to force oversized furniture through a doorway can damage the furniture, walls, doors, flooring, or other property.

Instead, tell the movers about the problem before attempting the move.

A professional crew can evaluate the available access and determine whether there is another way to move the item.

In some situations, the furniture may need to be disassembled. In other situations, an alternate entrance may be available.

Some items may simply be too large to move through a particular opening.

How Many Movers Are Needed for Heavy Furniture?

The appropriate number of movers depends on the size, weight, shape, and handling requirements of the item.

A lightweight dresser may require a different crew than:

A large sectional
A solid wood dining table
A commercial safe
A piano
Heavy exercise equipment
Industrial equipment

Other factors include stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, long carries, and the distance between the truck and the building.

The moving company can determine the appropriate crew and equipment after learning more about the item and the locations involved.

Can Movers Move Furniture Upstairs?

Professional movers may be able to move furniture up or down stairs, depending on the item and the access conditions.

Before scheduling the move, tell the company about:

Number of stairs
Number of floors
Stairway width
Tight turns
Railings
Landings
Furniture dimensions

This information can help the movers determine how the item should be handled.

Can Movers Move Furniture Without Moving the Rest of the House?

Yes.

You may only need assistance with one or several large items.

For example, you might hire movers to:

Move a couch
Move a bedroom set
Move an appliance
Move a dining table
Move office furniture
Move a heavy safe
Move furniture into storage
Move furniture between properties

Tell the moving company exactly what you need moved so the job can be properly evaluated.
