In most cases, light items like clothing and linens can stay in dresser drawers. However, you should remove anything fragile, heavy, or loose — such as jewelry, glass items, or books — to prevent shifting during transport. You do not need to disassemble furniture yourself; our crews handle bed frames, dining tables, desks, and other items that need to come apart, and reassemble them at your destination.
