How to Keep Your Car Ready for Impromptu Furniture Purchases

Ever found yourself wandering through Raleigh Furniture Gallery, only to spot the perfect piece at an unbeatable price? If you’re like many of us, the thrill of a spontaneous furniture find can quickly turn into a logistical headache when you realize your car isn’t quite prepared to transport your new treasure. But with a little foresight and preparation, you can keep your vehicle ready to seize those opportunities whenever they arise.

1. Keep Your Trunk Empty: Make it a habit to clear out your trunk regularly. Not only will this free up space, but it will also help you avoid the stress of last-minute decluttering when the opportunity strikes. An empty trunk is like a blank canvas, ready to accommodate whatever you may find.
2. Store Furniture Blankets: Keep a couple of furniture blankets in your trunk at all times. They don’t take up much space, and they’ll give you peace of mind knowing that your finds will arrive home in the same condition as when you first spotted them.
3. Fold Down Your Seats: When transporting larger pieces of furniture, maximizing the available space in your car is key. Most cars have back seats that fold down, giving you more room to work with. We at Raleigh Furniture Gallery joke that we could also be car salesmen since we have learned how to collapse back seats to accommodate loading larger pieces, but that is not to say we haven’t been stumped by an unfamiliar collapsing system. Familiarize yourself with how to quickly and easily fold down your seats.
4. Remove Car Seats If Needed: If you have young children, your car may often be filled with car seats that take up valuable space. In the event of an impromptu furniture purchase, you might need to temporarily remove those car seats to create extra room. While this might seem like a hassle, being prepared for it can save you from missing out on a great find.

At Raleigh Furniture Gallery, we understand that you might need time to arrange transportation. That’s why we offer complimentary storage for up to one month. This way, you can take your time to pick up or arrange delivery for your new furniture without any added pressure.

By following these tips, you’ll be ready to take advantage of those great finds whenever they come your way!
