Tips for furniture storage
To protect furniture in storage, it’s best to:
- disassemble larger items and place smaller bits and pieces in labelled boxes or sealable bags
- ideally, store the furniture off the ground, on wooden pallets or layers of cardboard
- place the pieces a couple of centimetres away from the walls
- cover each piece with a dust cover, furniture blanket or old sheet
- protect mirrors and glass table tops by re-enforcing the edges with cardboard, and then wrapping each item in bubble wrap
- leave a thoroughfare you can use to get in and out of the storage unit.

What to look for in a furniture storage facility
The replacement cost of furniture is high. When you store your household possessions, you want them to be kept in secure surroundings that are cool, dry and pest-free. You’ll also want to be able to access your goods when you need to.
Four key features you should look for in a furniture storage facility are:
- Security – choose a self-storage facility that has advanced security measures in place. The last thing you’ll want is to incur a loss due to theft.
- Quality – find units that are clean, hygienic, weather-proof and well-maintained. Mould and damp can stain wood, corrode steel and destroy upholstery.
- Access – opt for a self-storage company that’s easy to get to and that offers convenient access to stored items. Also, it’s not a great idea to navigate through an unknown or potentially dangerous area to reach a storage facility isn’t a great idea, especially with crime in South Africa as high as it is.
- Customer service – sign-up with a self-storage provider that’s prepared to go the extra mile. Whether it’s extending access hours, helping you choose a suitably sized self-storage unit, or giving you a hand, a storage supplier that’s friendly, helpful and considerate deserves your support.
