queen bedroom furniture sets

curious122
I'm moving a bunch of furniture, including 2 queen mattress sets, 2 twin mattresses, 2 couches, 2 desks, 2 dressers, twin bunk bed set, a 10' dining table, a pool table (disassembled) and a bunch of end tables and dining chairs. Trying to figure out if I need a 16' or a 24' truck. All I can find online is a 'number of bedrooms' guide. What does this guide assume? Mattresses + bedroom furniture? I wish there was a better guide somewhere. Is there?
Answer
I advise to get the 24' truck as there will be less worry about getting it all in and less damage. In getting a smaller truck, you have to pile things very high and if the truck goes over a bump too fast or a turn to sharply, then things can break more easily. My friend had a small truck and he had to make two trips and the truck used a ton of gasoline and did not drive fast so it took all day to move. Also pack the big furniture last so it will be first out of the truck and you can arrange it first at the new place. Lastly, return the truck on time back where it needs to be returned. That is where they often have hidden late fees.
good luck,
Jonathan

How to tell if furniture is of good quality?
pink
I found a set of furniture: queen sized headboard, dresser with mirror, smaller dresser and nightstand at a local place for $800 before taxes.
It looks like it's sturdy but I'm having second thoughts about it. Is there any way to tell if furniture is going to last or not?
Answer
Look closely at the construction,make sure its solid wood and not half wood,half mdf.before you commit to such a high price,check out craigslist or want ads,my brother just got a brand new king sized bedroom set for 500,retailed 4000! Also,if your paying in full ask if theres a discount,a lot of times they will give you one if you pay cash.And dont be afraid to ask questions,a lot of times sales people will steer you to better goods for less if your friendly.
