A set that can be separated
A wall equipped often includes bases, wall units, shelves and independent windows. If you do not enter the new house, consider what elements you want to yield and which can still serve you. The announcement distinguishes the price of the entire composition from the price of any single modules. Those looking for used living furniture must understand exactly what pieces you see in the photographs and which you can pick up.
Information to adapt the modules
Measure each element and specify whether it is rested on the ground or attached to the wall. For bookcases and shelves, it indicates the distance between the shelves and if it is adjustable. For the TV bases it shows the passages for the cables; for the cabinets and doors, locks and internal shelves. Materials and finishing are useful, but avoid attributing fine essences if you are not sure.
Photographing glass and surfaces
Prepare images with uniform light and without filters that change colors. A picture of the set helps to understand style, while details show the state of edges and surfaces. Mark the scratches, discoloration or marks left by devices and coats. For the glass parts it indicates which elements can be removed and if all the supports are present.
From the wall to the retreat
Suspended furniture requires careful removal and subsequent installation suitable for the new wall. Specifies which brackets are included, without ensuring that they are compatible with any support. Empty the furniture completely before the appointment and agrees who prepares the fragile parts. If delivery concerns only a few modules, it identifies those given to avoid misunderstandings when different people arrive to withdraw them.
