Hello everyone,
I am planning to move soon and have some IKEA Metod kitchen cabinets that I want to transport with minimal damage. My question is: What is the best way to protect IKEA Metod kitchen furniture during a move to avoid scratches, dents, or other damage? I am especially interested in tips for disassembly, packing, and transportation of the different components such as cabinets, fronts, and countertops. It would also be helpful to know which materials or methods have proven effective for padding.
I have heard that some parts should not be fully disassembled to maintain stability, but I am unsure about the best approach, especially with Metod, since the furniture is quite modular. I look forward to your experiences and advice!

Could you maybe explain a bit more precisely how to best pad the doors, for example?I know moving can quickly become stressful and unsettling. I had the exact same issue with our Metod doors.
What helped me was wrapping each door in blankets and securing them with stretch wrap. This way, the doors didn’t scratch each other. When stacking, I made sure no small parts like handles could create pressure marks.
Also, definitely pay attention to transport conditions: it’s better to lay the doors flat rather than standing upright.
I had the same question about complete carcasses. I ultimately decided to partially disassemble—only as many parts as you can manage safely. A well-documented disassembly helps later, so don’t be afraid of reassembling!
You’ll do great!
