I need to move a heavy recliner chair to another room. What’s the safest and easiest way to do it without damaging the chair or my back?
To move a heavy recliner safely, follow these steps:
- Prepare: Clear a path and fully recline the chair to lower its center of gravity.
- Lift with Help: Always have at least one other person help. Lift from the sturdiest parts (frame, seat base), not the arms or back.
- Use Tools: Slide it on furniture sliders or a moving blanket. For stairs, a sturdy appliance dolly strapped to the chair is safest.
- Protect: Wrap the chair in moving blankets to prevent scratches.
