Hello everyone,
we are currently thinking about how to label our furniture to show which room it belongs to. We will prepare floor plans of the ground floor and first floor for the movers, indicating the rooms and where each piece of furniture should be set up. However, we would also like to label the individual pieces of furniture themselves with notes about the room they belong to. I believe this would make it easier for the movers than constantly having to look at a separate list and figure out exactly which cabinet is which.
How have you attached such labels without damaging the furniture?
Maybe I’m missing something, but the only thing I can think of are Post-It notes. They definitely wouldn’t damage anything but don’t stick very well.
Any kind of label that sticks better risks either leaving part of the label stuck to the furniture when removed, or taking some of the furniture’s finish off along with the label.

Masking tape only works well when it’s very fresh and from good manufacturers; otherwise, it can be difficult to remove. Fineliner tape definitely doesn’t damage surfaces and can be removed easily even after weeks.

Unfortunately, I haven’t made nearly as much progress as I wanted, but at least everything that needs to be sold is already sorted out. I’m still trying to get rid of what I can. The trash will be taken to the landfill one day before the move, and bulky waste will be collected two days earlier. Until then, I’ll keep packing and reconsidering every item.
