Sofas, beds, dressers, tables, desks, bookshelves — anything a mover picks up as one piece.

What counts as one piece?
  • Count as 1: a sofa (even a sectional), a bed frame, a mattress, a dresser, a dining table, a desk, a bookshelf, a TV stand, a coffee table.
  • Count each separately: chairs, nightstands, lamps, mirrors (if detached), office chairs.
  • Don't count here: boxes (use the next slider), washer/dryer/piano/safe (use "Bulk items" below).
  • Tip: if you're not sure, round up — it's better to over-estimate than under-book.

0 Few (5-10) Moderate (15-25) Lots (30+) 60
