Count furniture as individual pieces and record anything that changes handling. “One bedroom set” is too vague for an accurate plan.
Make a piece-by-piece list
- Dresser or chest, including the number of drawers.
- Attached or separate mirror.
- Nightstands, benches, wardrobes, or armoires.
- Bed frame, headboard, footboard, and slats.
- Mattress and foundation.
- Loose hardware, glass shelves, and removable tops.
Measure the largest rigid piece
Record width, depth, and height. Compare those numbers with the narrowest door and tightest stair turn. Removing drawers may reduce weight, but it does not change the outside dimensions of the dresser. Tall mirrors, glass, and stone tops need to be disclosed because they require different handling.
Describe where each item starts
Tell the provider whether pieces are upstairs, in a basement, inside a storage unit, or already at the curb. Mention long walks, gravel drives, gated access, elevators, and limited parking. These are estimate factors, not minor details.
Separate removal from moving
Removal means the item leaves the property for an approved destination. Moving means it must arrive intact at another address. If you want an item relocated rather than removed, say so before scheduling; the service and equipment may be different.
Review bedroom furniture removal and email your inventory.
