A dining table is awkward and often has a vulnerable top — glass, wood that scratches, or an extension mechanism. Take the legs off and protect the surface, and it moves easily.
Most dining tables have detachable legs — flip the table gently onto a padded surface and unbolt them. This makes the table far easier to wrap, carry and fit through doorways, and protects the legs from snapping. Bag and tape the hardware to the underside of the top.
Wrap the tabletop in moving blankets, with corner protectors on the edges. For a wood top, a layer of paper or moving pad against the surface prevents scratches. Carry and store the top on its edge, not flat with weight on it.
A glass top comes off and is wrapped and moved separately, on edge in a mirror carton — never flat, where it cracks. For an extension table, remove and wrap the leaves separately, and secure the extension mechanism so it can't slide. Note the leaves so you don't lose them.
Move the wrapped top on edge and the legs bundled, two people for anything large. Reattach the legs in the room where the table will live. Our crews disassemble and reassemble tables and protect glass and wood as part of the move — see our disassembly guide, glass moving guide, and furniture protection guide.
