Generally, no.

Particle board furniture — including many ready-to-assemble furnishings commonly sold by manufacturers such as IKEA and similar brands — is constructed primarily from compressed wood particles, sawdust, and adhesives.

While these products often perform well for everyday residential use, they are not designed to withstand multiple disassemblies, reassemblies, relocations, or repeated transportation cycles in the same manner as solid wood furniture.

Why Particle Board Is More Vulnerable

Particle board furniture can be particularly susceptible to:

• •Joint loosening
• •Fastener pullout
• •Structural weakening over time
• •Damage from previous assemblies or moves
• •Failure under its own weight or shifting loads during transportation

These items can also present unique loading challenges, as they often do not support stacking pressure as well as traditional wood furniture and may be more sensitive to normal movement that occurs during transportation.

What We Do to Protect It

At Two Marines Moving, we take reasonable precautions to protect particle board furniture by using:

• ✅ Furniture Protection Pads
• ✅ Stretch Wrap
• ✅ Proper securing procedures
• ✅ Appropriate loading techniques

Coverage Exclusion

Due to the inherent construction characteristics of particle board furniture and its increased susceptibility to structural failure, these items are generally excluded from damage claim coverage for structural failures, joint failures, material failures, and pre-existing weaknesses.
