How to Transport IKEA Furniture Safely

Flat-pack looks indestructible and is not. Corners, edges and stacking order are what matter.

Know the weight before you buy

A single wardrobe panel box can be well over 40kg and awkward for one person. Check the box weights and dimensions on the product page, because that determines whether it fits your car at all and how many hands are needed.

Load flat, load edge-protected

Flat-pack should travel flat and supported, not standing on a corner. Board edges are the weak point — once a corner is crushed, the panel rarely lines up properly during assembly.

  • Lay large panel boxes flat with heaviest at the bottom
  • Keep boxes dry — chipboard swells fast in Liverpool rain
  • Do not stack heavy items on top of glass or mirror boxes
  • Strap the stack so it cannot slide on braking

Or skip the problem entirely

If the order will not fit your car or the store delivery slots are weeks out, a store pick-up brings the whole order to your door in one trip, loaded and secured properly.
