  • Can I leave my clothes in the dresser drawers?

    We prefer you remove all items from your dresser drawers for two reasons. 


    (1) It makes the furniture lighter for our movers to lift without hurting themselves or the furniture.

    The extra weight inside the furniture can cause damage to the legs of the furniture when we move it.
