How do I move a straight desk without damaging the surface?

For moving a straight desk, first remove all items from the surface. If possible, disassemble the desk (remove pedestals) to reduce weight and improve maneuverability. Wrap the work surface with moving blankets to protect the laminate edges. Carry the desk upright rather than flat (which stresses the surface). Protect the laminate corners, which are most prone to chipping during moves. OfficeFurniture2go.com can advise on disassembly — call 1-800-460-0858.
