Mt. Pocono Mini Storage & Hillside Storage

Storing a sofa or large chair does not require any special preparation beyond cleaning. Leave the legs on and set these items on the floor just as you would at home (they are built for this). Also, do not store boxes on the seating area they will ruin cushions and springs.

Why not use your smartphone to create a master list of items stashed in your storage unit? Snap pictures of box labels, content lists, large pieces and unboxed items. Insert the pictures into a basic word or image program, and you have a master list.

Although you may find that much of your furniture doesn’t need any special treatment while storing it, you may wonder if the same goes for antique pieces. Typically, opting for a climate-controlled storage unit is the best way to preserve the beauty of antique furniture.

Planning on putting some chairs in your storage unit? Invert the chairs so they’re stored seat to seat, especially if they’re light. There’s also space between the legs both below them and on top of them for small boxes, which will help brace the legs.

In humid regions, climate controlled storage is essential. Why? Humidity encourages rust, corrosion, mold and mildew which can damage books, clothing, computers, electronic devices, equipment, papers, paintings, heirlooms, photos, records and more.
