Much damage occurs when objects are moved. This can be avoided if the item's construction is wholly understood. Failing that there are a few simple rules that will help avoid embarrassing moments:
Furniture should be lifted by its strongest units or rails: chairs, including arm chairs, by their seat rails, tables, by the rails/frieze below the top or by the legs., cabinets and chests by their lowest rails or at "foot level" and not by the top.
In principle NEVER DRAG furniture, not even for an inch/centimetre. In practice, if there is no alternative, then the dragging force must be as close to the floor as possible.
