Ever bought a piece of furniture that didn't fit in your home or even up your stairs? A mere inch can make that difference so precise planning is important. It is always important you've got a floor plan before you move. It makes the move more efficient, less stressful and less spontaneous. It also avoids any future back-aches on larger furniture.
