Benefits of furniture storage

Storing your furniture at MyBox offers numerous advantages. If you are moving or renovating, for example, furniture storage is a practical and safe solution. With MyBox you can store your furniture individually and flexibly without having to commit to a fixed contract period. Whether you want to store it for just a few weeks or several months, we have the right offer for you. So you can be sure that your furniture is in good hands with us.

Store furniture for more space

Storing furniture creates more space in your home and gives you the opportunity to make the most of your apartment or house. By storing furniture that you don't currently need, you create space for new furnishings or simply give yourself more freedom of movement. Thanks to the flexible terms at MyBox, you can store your furniture for as long as you want and retrieve it whenever you need it.

In addition, storing furniture can also be useful if you want to rent out your apartment or house. Empty apartments or houses with full furniture often seem uncomfortable and impractical. By storing furniture, you create a more pleasant and inviting atmosphere for potential tenants.

You can always rent extra space or adjust your storage needs as your situation changes. With our online platform, you have access to your storage boxes at any time and can easily book, change or cancel online. We make sure your furniture is safe and secure while you are in control of your storage.

Protecting furniture during storage

To protect your furniture during storage, there are a few important things to consider:

  1. Clean your furniture thoroughly before storing it. This will prevent dirt and dust from sticking to the furniture and causing damage.
  2. Use appropriate packing materials, such as bubble wrap or blankets, to protect delicate surfaces from scratches or damage.
  3. Avoid placing heavy objects on delicate furniture to avoid pressure points.
  4. Make sure that you do not stack your furniture too tightly in the storage box to avoid pressure points and deformation.

At MyBox we also offer additional services such as insurance and air conditioning to protect your furniture even better.

Tips for preparing furniture for storage

Before storing your furniture, it is important to make some preparations to ensure that it remains protected during storage. First, you should thoroughly clean your furniture and remove dust. Also make sure that all surfaces are dry to avoid mold. If possible, disassemble your furniture to save space and make it easier to transport. Label all parts and pack them carefully in boxes or special protective covers. Always use suitable packing materials to avoid damage. Upholstered furniture should also be covered with protective covers to protect it from dust and dirt.

If you store your furniture in a storage box, make sure that it is well ventilated and that there is enough space between the pieces of furniture. This allows air to circulate and avoid moisture. If you have any further questions about preparing your furniture for storage, we are happy to help and advise you.

Frequently asked questions about storing furniture

Do I need to prepare my furniture before storing it?

Before storing, it is advisable to prepare your furniture to ensure that it remains protected during storage. This includes emptying all drawers and cupboards to avoid excess weight and associated damage. We also recommend covering delicate surfaces with foil or paper to avoid scratches or damage. It is also advisable to carefully wrap fragile items such as glass or porcelain and store them separately. These preparations can increase the safety of your furniture during storage.

What types of furniture are suitable for storage?

In general, almost all types of furniture are suitable for storage as long as they are properly prepared and packed. Here are some examples: sofas, armchairs, tables, wardrobes, beds, dressers, shelves, lamps, carpets and much more. However, it is important that you take extra care when storing delicate pieces of furniture such as antiques or paintings. In this case, we recommend that you use special packing materials and store your furniture in a climate-controlled storage area.

Are there size restrictions for larger pieces of furniture?

Yes, there are size restrictions for larger pieces of furniture. At MyBox, we offer storage boxes in a range of sizes to ensure that all of your furniture can be stored safely and securely. Our larger storage boxes are ideal for larger pieces of furniture such as sofas, wardrobes or beds. However, before storing your furniture with us, we recommend that you check the exact dimensions of your furniture to ensure that it will fit in the storage box you have chosen.

How long can you safely store furniture?

You can safely store furniture for long periods of time as long as it is properly prepared and stored. Most pieces of furniture can be stored for several months or even years without any problems, but it is important that you clean and dry them thoroughly before storing them to avoid mold growth. You should also make sure that they are protected from moisture, dust and direct sunlight. At MyBox we offer you safe storage in our climate-controlled storage boxes that are specially equipped for furniture storage.

How big should the storage space for furniture be?

Depending on how many pieces of furniture you want to store, the storage space you need will vary. At MyBox we offer different sizes of storage boxes so that you can choose the ideal size for your furniture. If you are unsure about what size you need, please feel free to contact us and we will help you choose the right storage box. However, keep in mind that it is better to choose a slightly larger storage box to have enough space for the furniture and to ensure that it is not damaged.

How can you store furniture to save space?

There are a few tricks you can use to store furniture in a space-saving way. First, you should consider which pieces of furniture you can disassemble and store in parts. This will save space and also avoid damage caused by unnecessary stress. It is also advisable to place the pieces of furniture as close together as possible and to use hollow spaces. You can also stack them, for example, but you should be careful not to damage any pieces of furniture.

How safe is my furniture when stored?

Your furniture is stored safely in our storage boxes. We attach great importance to the security of our warehouses and have taken various security precautions, such as 24-hour video surveillance, burglar alarm systems and access controls. In addition, each storage box is lockable and only you have access to your box. We ensure that your furniture is well protected while it is stored with us.
