Planning a Furniture Store Move

Few businesses have as much to wrap as a furniture store. A single showroom can hold dozens of sofas, dining sets, bedroom groups, and recliners, and every one is a finished surface a customer will inspect. Behind it sits a back room of manufacturer cartons, some sold and waiting for delivery, some open stock. Those two groups need different handling, and they should never share a truck without a plan.

Floor samples get full wrapping: pads, corner guards, and stretch wrap over the pads on upholstery, with legs and glass taken off and bagged with the piece. Boxed stock stays in its sealed carton, stacked by weight and keyed to your SKU or order tag. Sold orders your team has tagged stay separate, either delivered before the move or kept together at the tail of the load for the new back room. Your sales and warehouse leads decide what sits where. Our crew keeps every tag facing out so receiving can check the load without unwrapping.

Who usually signs off
Store owner or operations manager, with the warehouse lead confirming stock assignments and the showroom manager approving floor placement
Timing that works
After your moving sale and before the new showroom's grand opening, with customer deliveries scheduled around the move and a quieter month chosen over holiday or tax-refund season.

What typically moves

  • Sofas, sectionals, and sleeper sofas Sectional pieces separated at their brackets, sleeper mechanisms tied closed, cushions bagged to their frame.
  • Power recliners and lift chairs Unplugged and put in their closed position first; cords and handsets taped to the frame.
  • Dining tables, leaves, and chair sets Legs removed where designed to come off, leaves wrapped together, and chairs grouped with their table's tag.
  • Dressers, chests, and bedroom casegoods Mirrors taken off dressers and cartoned upright, drawers emptied of display props and secured.
  • Mattresses and foundations Bagged before they leave the floor. Display samples stay separate from sealed new stock.
  • Manufacturer-boxed stock Kept sealed, heavy cartons low, with your SKU or order tag readable from the aisle.
  • Rug racks and rolled area rugs Rugs rolled pile-in and wrapped. Swing-arm rug displays come apart at the base.

Access and scheduling

Furniture stores tend to have one large advantage and one large problem. The advantage is usually a real loading dock or an oversized rear door. The problem is volume, so the day is planned by room group: bedroom, dining, living, then the back room. We walk both buildings to measure the widest sectional and tallest armoire against the doors.

Your team sets two cutoffs: the last day samples can be sold off the floor, and the last day new stock deliveries arrive at the old address. Ask your suppliers to ship anything due after that date to the new store. Moving the showroom over a weekend lets you close the old doors on a Saturday and open the new ones soon after. If the new location is in a shopping center, check whether the landlord wants a certificate of insurance first.

Protection and handling

Upholstery is covered with pads and then stretch wrap, so fabric never touches a moving blanket that has been on a truck floor. Wood and lacquer casegoods get corner guards under the pads, and tabletop glass travels in its own carton. Every sample keeps its showroom tag or price card inside the wrap, taped to the frame.

Sealed stock is inspected only from the outside. A crushed corner, a punctured carton, or a wet box is photographed and set aside for your receiving lead before it goes on the truck, since that carton may need a freight claim with the manufacturer. At the new showroom, we place samples by room group, unwrap them, and take the wrap away. Your staff do the final floor arrangement and accessory styling.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Customer deliveries and sold orders
Your delivery team or delivery vendor handles them from your order list. We keep tagged orders apart in the load and do not deliver to customers under this move.
Freight damage on manufacturer cartons
Your receiving lead files any claim with the manufacturer or carrier. We photograph and set aside suspect cartons before loading.
Wall-hung art, mirrors, and lit displays
Your installer removes and remounts anything fastened to the wall; an electrician handles wired display lighting.

Not part of our work

  • Delivering sold furniture to your customers.
  • Opening sealed stock or assembling boxed furniture for the showroom floor.
  • Mounting wall displays or wiring display lighting.

Around Colorado Springs and El Paso County

Colorado Springs furniture stores sit mostly in big-box and strip centers along the Powers corridor, North Nevada Avenue, and near InterQuest, many with shared truck courts behind the building. Stores that also sell to Monument, Castle Rock, and Falcon usually have a back-room dock worth using. From October to April we watch the forecast, because wrapped upholstery waiting on a wet, snowy lot is exactly what the plan tries to avoid.

Furniture Store Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (719) 357-5865.

How do you keep sold orders from ending up on the new showroom floor?

Your team tags them before we arrive, with a color or label that means sold. We load those pieces together at the tail of the truck and set them in the back room at the new store, apart from floor samples. If an order can go straight to the customer instead, your delivery team takes it from the old address before we start.

Will you assemble the new furniture that arrives in cartons?

Not as part of the move. Sealed stock stays sealed so your receiving lead can check it and any manufacturer claim stays clean. We can put back together pieces we take apart ourselves, a bed frame or a dresser mirror, for example, but assembling new stock is a separate job to plan with us or your own team.

Can the new store open with the showroom full but the back room unfinished?

Yes. We move the showroom first by room group, place and unwrap it, then bring stock in over the following days. Your team sets the order. Samples go where customers see them, and the back room fills around your receiving schedule.

Do power recliners need anything special before they move?

They should be unplugged and set in the closed position, then the cords and remote handsets taped to the frame. Some models are safer to move with the back removed, and your salespeople or the manufacturer's instructions will say which. Lift chairs need the same treatment. We wrap them like any other upholstered piece once they are closed.
