It is possible to leave clothes in drawers when moving a chest of drawers, but it is not generally recommended as it can make the piece of furniture much heavier and harder to move, and can increase the risk of damage to both the clothes and the furniture. Additionally, clothes can become wrinkled and crushed during transit if they are left in drawers.
If you decide to leave clothes in the drawers, it’s important to use packing paper or bubble wrap to cushion any fragile items in the drawers before wrapping them, and label them as fragile to ensure that they are handled with care.
It’s also important to make sure that the drawers are not too heavy and that the chest of drawers is sturdy enough to handle the weight of the drawers and the clothes.
If you can, it’s always best to remove clothes from drawers and pack them separately in wardrobe boxes or vacuum-sealed bags to ensure that they are protected during transit.
