> Generally, a good rule of thumb to follow is to always keep furniture in one piece if first, it will fit through hallways and doorways, second, if it's not too heavy to lift and move, and third if by keeping it in one piece it won't get damaged during the move. For instance, remove table legs before moving a dining room table as the legs are fragile and you might worry that they may break during the move.
