a. Furniture Locks
Make sure doors and furniture drawers are closed and locked before moving them. Doors and drawers that open suddenly while moving can have fatal consequences. Avoid this incident for safety and security.

c. Position it Diagonally
Lifting large objects in a diagonal position is highly recommended, especially when descending stairs. This method can help balance the load of furniture. Lift the furniture so that one end is higher than the other. Look at the picture above.
d. Involve Others
Ask other people to help you, never do it alone. Especially for moving large and heavy furniture.
e. Not be forced

f. Disassemble If Possible
This step is recommended for knockdown furniture (can be assembled or assembled). This knockdown furniture usually uses screws or bolts that connect the parts,
g. Use Professionals
Use a moving service to help with your move. This can make your move more practical and safer.
