Tips on moving heavy furniture

Moving heavy furniture is generally viewed as a hassle. You get sweaty, you might strain your back, and you have to enlist your friends to help.

It can feel complicated and unrewarding to get a new piece of furniture because you know you’re going to have to haul it around.

However, moving a heavy piece of furniture really isn’t that hard with the proper techniques.

Tips

 * Another way of moving a heavy object is by putting broom handles underneath, and just rolling on these.
 * Be careful not to lift with your back only. Use your legs and keep your torso and upper body relatively straight and almost vertical. When lifting heavy furniture, lift with your legs first and then your back and your arms.
 * If you continually move the furniture and not stop halfway, it will be easier to push. Friction greatly increases when something comes to a stop.
 * Sliders are made for use on carpeting.
 * The best way to move bookshelves is to empty all the books first.
 * If you have wooden floors, put a piece of old carpet or a rag under each leg before you move an item of furniture; it will slide more easily and won't scratch the floor.
