Dining room sets can be some of the most expensive pieces of furniture - so you should take extra precautions when packing and moving them, says leading moving resource and directory Movers.com.

And while packing tables and chairs safely isn't rocket science, you'll want to make sure you cover some basic safety practices to keep everything safe.

Movers.com offers a complete guide on how to pack a dining room set when moving.

You'll find expert tips on everything from disassembling tables and chairs to protecting dining room sets from scratching and loading them onto the truck.

The “How to Pack a Dining Room Set” guide recommends disassembling as an easy way to save space - and make the transport safer.

“If possible, disassemble your dining room table and chairs to make them easier to transport and more space-efficient,” explains the guide. “So, remove the table leaves and the legs from the table and chairs, if possible; then wrap each piece individually in a moving blanket. Be sure to keep track of any nuts and bolts you removed - keep them in a plastic bag taped to the underside of your table so you can find them easily when setting up the dining room set in your new home.”

The report also recommends wrapping the pieces to keep them safe - with moving pads and bubble wrap ideal for glass tabletops. For wooden tabletops, avoid using bubble wrap in direct contact with wood, as it can damage the finish. Moving blankets are the best way to keep wooden tabletops safe.

Finally, the guide includes a complete section on how to load the dining room set onto the truck - from how to carry large tables to avoid damage, to securing the table and chairs in the truck.
