Keeping chest-of-drawers components in order
Similar drawers do not always fit equally well in every position. Marking their locations while emptying the chest saves time at your new home.
Before you start
Remove loose contents. Check whether the runners allow the drawers to be removed, and do not force them past their stops.
Practical steps
- Number drawers from top to bottom and add the furniture identification code.
- Keep detached handles and screws with the corresponding drawer label.
- Agree with the moving team whether the body and drawers will travel separately.
Checks on arrival
Replace drawers in their numbered positions. If runners catch or the unit may tip, have its installation and restraints checked before filling it.
