The Packing Process

2. Custom Crating: For particularly valuable or delicate items, we design and build custom crates that fit the furniture securely. This provides maximum protection against impacts and vibrations during shipping.

3. Padding and Wrapping: We use various padding materials, such as foam, bubble wrap, and blankets, to cushion your furniture. Each piece is wrapped securely to prevent scratches and dents.

4. Securing: Once packed, the furniture is secured and fastened within the crate to prevent movement. We use strong, durable fastenings to ensure stability.
