Furniture Storage in Cape Town

If it belongs in a home, we've almost certainly stored one. Larger pieces are the reason most people call us in the first place — they're awkward, heavy, and easy to damage in a rushed move.

Furniture damage happens at the two ends of a move — the loading and the storing. We wrap upholstered pieces and blanket hard surfaces before anything leaves your home, protect corners and legs, and load with straps rather than stacking pressure. In the warehouse, furniture is stored indoors, off the floor where appropriate, dry and out of direct sunlight, so timber doesn't warp and fabric doesn't fade. Everything is photographed and labelled on arrival, so its condition is on record.

Cape Town moving dates rarely line up neatly. Transfer gets delayed, the new lease starts three weeks after the old one ends, or the buyer wants occupation early. Instead of squeezing a household into a garage or paying for two rentals, put the furniture into storage for the gap. We collect on your last day, hold everything for as long as the gap lasts, and deliver to the new address when you have keys — with the same team who packed it.

Building work and furniture do not mix. Dust gets into upholstery, plasterers need floor space, and a covered couch in the middle of a room slows every trade down. Clearing furniture out for the duration costs far less than replacing a scratched dining table. Because we return items individually, you can bring the bedroom back once the bedroom is finished, and leave the rest with us until the kitchen is done.

Emigrating, travelling for a year, letting your place furnished elsewhere, or holding onto family pieces you're not ready to sell — long-term storage is priced exactly the same way, month to month at R850 per unit (each unit is 6.3 m³). There's no long-term contract to sign and no penalty for ending early; you simply stop paying once your furniture has been delivered back. Insurance stays in place for the whole period.

Because you're billed per unit, a little preparation can save you a whole unit's worth of cost. Beds broken down flat, tables with legs removed, and drawers packed with linen instead of stored empty all help your items fit into fewer units. Our team can disassemble standard items on collection if you flag it when booking. Appliances should be emptied, defrosted and drained the night before so they can be loaded dry.

Request a return by phone, WhatsApp or email, tell us which pieces you need and where they're going, and we schedule a delivery. Because every item carries a label tied to your inventory, you're never forced to take the whole load back at once — plenty of customers retrieve a desk or a bed months before the rest.
