The Funny Side of Furniture Safety for Your Next Move

how to protect furniture funny infographic


Get ready for a side-splitting take on furniture protection! Our funny guide offers a blend of humor and practicality, teaching you how to safeguard your valuables while keeping the mood light. Say goodbye to moving stress and hello to a barrel of laughs.


Arson

We all know your furniture is not going to make it through this move, so we might as well have a good bon fire before you go. Grandma always said a little arson never hurt nobody.


Give it Away

Give it away, give it away, give it away now! Just like the Red Hot Chili Peppers sing in that one song. You can't ruin your furniture if you no longer own any!


Strap Granny on Top

Some of you may be too young for this Beverly Hillbillies reference, but picture this: rednecks moving to L.A. To get granny to come with the family to the big city, they strap her into her rocking chair on the back of a pick-up truck. You can be sure no one is going to scratch or mess up a piece of furniture that a curmudgeonly grandma is sitting on.


Own Ikea Furniture

Your Ikea furniture probably will fall apart during a move no matter how careful you are, but who cares!? It was cheap enough that you can easily buy some more, or perhaps even consider taking the grown up step of buying real furniture.


Voodoo Ceremony

Sometimes you just need to turn to dark magic to get things done. Sprinkle some rosemary, say some prayers, whatever delusion you want to buy into works for us. No matter what magic you choose, all are probably equally as effective in their results!


Wrap it Up

Wrap everything up in all the packing materials that you can't afford right now, because you are moving and moving is expensive!


Lower Your Expectations

Having furniture that isn't falling apart is sort of nice, but hey, a table with just three legs isn't that big of a problem? Right guys!?


Hire the Cheapest Movers You Can Find

The cheaper the movers you hire, the better job that they'll do. Surely they are just charging that insanely low rate to be competitive. Let the free market decide whether or not your invaluable items will make it intact to your next home. Let us know how that turns out for you.


Congrats! It’s an Antique

By bonking up all your furniture during a move, it'll automatically become an antique. You'll be able to sell those scratched up items for twice the price from what I understand of the antique market.


Hire Good Movers

You could just cave in and hire movers that actually know what the heck they are doing. Given that won't be as big of an adrenaline rush, at least you'll know that there is a 99.5% chance everything will run smoothly during your move. But eh, what is the fun in that?
