Bookshelf Headboards

For those with the beds that have drawers or bookshelf headboards - are they useful? We're looking at getting our son a twin sized bed once he's out of his crib, and have seen a lot that have drawers below, and most sets come with a bookshelf headboard. My question is, for those who have them, did you find the drawers useful or is it better to get a dresser? What about those bookshelf headboards, have you found them useful or annoying? Is it better to get a bookshelf that can be moved around freely and not provide your child with nighttime distractions above their head? Did your toddler try to climb up on them? I figured I should ask around before investing in a bedroom set for him!

Are these pieces of furniture supposed to go together? I'm looking to update my room a little bit and was thinking about getting a new bed. I started looking around and finally I found some stuff on overstock.com Now the problem. I found a new bed and would love a headboard but I'm not sure if I get the platform bed that the headboard is made or even supposed to be with the bed. Please send help.

Will someone, who has tried several, please give me a recommendation for the best battery book light?

How do I paint wood furniture so that it will not flake? I have an old wooden bedroom set. (I doubt that it is solid wood). I would like to get rid of the oak color and paint it white... How I do this without the paint flaking/scratching off? I have a headboard, chest, dresser, and bookshelf.

How to ship large items? I'd really like to sell some furniture (Headboards, dressers, bookshelves) I've made on ebay, etsy, or similar sites. If something like this was to sell, what would be the best way to ship it? Do I list it for a sale price + shipping, or do I include shipping in the sale price?

I am currently designing my bedroom and need ideas.? I have a very tight budget, so DIY projects are definitely welcome. I have three light yellow walls and one light blue wall. It is a small bedroom-my furniture consists of a king sized bed, a dresser and a bookshelf (both of those are tall rather than wide-they take up less room that way). I'm looking mainly for ideas of wall art. I don't have a headboard and was thinking of making one myself, but I don't know, since my room is already small it might make it appear smaller. thanks!

What size moving truck to use? I have to move in a week and I am trying to pick a truck size at Uhaul but I can't decide. I have a small one bedroom apartment. I would like to move everything in one trip. I am trying to decide between the 17 foot or the 24 foot truck. Here is a list of all the furniture and number of boxes we will be moving: One full size bed 2 large dressers 1 small dresser 1 desk 4 chairs small dining table 3 medium bookshelves 1 big couch 1 king size Corduroy bean bag sofa 1 big tv tv stand 1 headboard 1 large framed picture 23 large tuperware storage containers 20 small-medium boxes of stuff 1 big computer monitor and tower ok, so that is all our stuff...should we use the 17 foot or the 24 foot to move it all in one trip. The other thing I need to consider is that the 24 foot truck might be a hassle to drive and park at the new place.

My 4 year old Daughter is driving me crazy!? I am at my wits end! I have 3 children 2 years, 4 years and 6 years. My two boys are 2 and 6 and im not saying they are perfect, but they are much better than my 4 year old daughter. I fight with her ALL day.. To clean her room, take a nap, just about anything I ask her to do I have to fight with her over! She destroys everything in my house, I've tried letting her lay in my bed for a nap, thinking that would encourage her to be a big girl, she destroyed everything in my jewlery box. and threw powder all over my room. I've tried laying her down in her own room and she destroys that as well, not just the normal usual toys every where. She broke the bookshelf headboard of her bed into pieces, managed to get ahold of food coloring and make circles of red blue and yellow all over her floor and walls. She gets up at night and gets into the kitchen and eats and drinks anything thats there, ie coffee creamer, cookies, juice.. anything thats in there. Just this morning I was getting my 6 year old dressed for school and she was in the Kitchen putting a combination of butter, salt and peper all over my floors. When I yell at her, she tells me I dont love her. And im starting to think that she thinks that, becasue of all the distructivness I am always yelling at her. But every single day its something else. When her father is here she is not like that. Her dad is in the Army, He is deployed right now for the third time. I know some of you will say this is her way of lashing out cause she misses her father, which your probably right, but HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?! She gets plenty of outside time. At 1 we walk to the park till 3 then go up to the school and pick up her brother, its usually outside in the back yard until dinner, then baths, prayers and bed.. Please help!! I do set aside for mommy and daughter time. She is a middle child, but also the only girl, so she gets "girl" attention above the boys. I've tried taking her toys, time out, corner, just about everything I dont make her nap all the time, if she has quiet time that is fine by me. I've locked the fridge and cupboards.. she figures those out 10 seconds after they are done. Doing nothing about her destroying things.. and just throwing it away suggests she will never recieve anything again .. how do i pull that off..

Should I buy or build a loft bed? I'm thinking about getting a loft bed for a very small room. I'm not sure what size I want yet. The site I'm looking at getting one from would be $450 after shipping and accessories, and then I'd have to put it together. http://www.collegebedlofts.com/order_loft_bed.html The accessories I'd like to put on whether I build it or buy it would be a towel bar, clothing rack (or two), accessory and clock shelves, and bookshelf headboard. (see site above to see what I'm talking about) I've also thought about building one myself, but I'm really unsure. I have no building experience. My dad has tons of experience, but may or may not be able to help me. I could probably get my friends/boyfriend to help me, but they don't have any experience either. Also, I don't have access to a saw, so I can't cut my own wood. Can I get wood cut at a lumber yard? How much does it usually cost (the wood and the cutting)? Based on these things, should I go for it and try to build my own, or should I fork over the $450 and buy it pre-made? How many days or hours does it usually take? I don't really like Ikea stuff because they're too expensive for what you get, IMHO. I also don't want a metal bed. I like solid wood furniture. :)

What to put in a guest room? I put this in family because I know a lot of families who rent out rooms, and I might get some good advice here. Not really a 'guest' room but I don't know what else to call it. A girl from England is coming to stay with us for a few months and I'm not sure what to..furnish her room with. She has her own bedroom, bathroom and walk in closet. I have the basics - double bed, headboard, bookshelf, dresser/vanity, bedding and pillows. I also have an extra computer desk, entertainment unit, tv, couch and mini fridge around, the room is very large so don't worry about it being crowded - should I include these things? It can't hurt right? There's just some things I'm wondering about. Should I put stuff on the bookshelves? Some of my magazines, picture frames, candles? Should I put some pens and notebooks in the desk? A calendar? Clothes hangers? Should I put art up on the walls? Towels, bath mat, toothbrush holder, laundry hamper? I feel weird asking if she's bringing these things haha, I don't know her very well yet. I guess it should be like a hotel right? All the little things you should expect to be there.. If you could take a few moments to think about what you would want in a room you're renting, give me a little list of things I might not be thinking about. Also any other tips for making her feel more at home would be sooooo appreciated. Thanks so much everyone =)

I have plenty enough parakeets, but I want to have my own caging system, preferably one in which they can have a "jungle gym" and/or tree system and rocks etc. in it, and it looks like the tropical wild or be like one of those Star Trek naturalistic environments or habitats that I can walk into and be with them, complete with the sounds of the streams, storms, and other bird and animal noises. Of course I don't know the how to on getting accomplished that which I have in my head... I have never built something and don't even know how to build a nightstand or bookshelves or headboard for beds, let alone a project such as this. I don't much like some of those online caging systems.... How do I get started?

How to create a more romantic atmosphere in the bedroom? I'm looking for ideas to make our bedroom more of a romantic place. My first thought is red sheets and red pillows and lots of, well, red, but it seems that might be overdoing it. Was wondering if anyone could offer me any tips on design? Right now we have a double bed, two mismatched dressers (we're 20, it was stuff our parents had extra of when we moved in together!), a nightstand, three bookshelves...no headboard, and a TV. We don't have a lot of money to work with and we're not allowed to paint, we live in an apartment. Any great, relatively cheap ideas? Thanks!

Too much furniture? in my room i have: my bed headboard night side table 2 couch/bed type things a desk 2 dressers a bookshelf is it too much? i was thinking of selling some stuff... or should i give it to charity?

Was this a good buy? My parents bought me a bedroom set that cost them $1,000 dollars. It included a dresser ( with the mirror), a headboard, a nightstand, and a bookshelf. It was washed oak and really pretty. So was it cheap or expensive? Thanks!! It also included the delivery with the taxes included. Thankyou for all of the answers!

How to paint real & fake wood furniture black? I have a very old dresser which is real wood, and a headboard which I think is some sort of fake wood (its smooth on it's surface) black to match each other. I am thinking something semi-gloss or glossy. I don't want things to stick to it as the dresser has my TV on top of it, and the headboard is sort of like a bookshelf, so if non-glossy would be better I would go for that too. I think the old dresser is stained and is kind of "soft" when I scratch it with my nail. I'm looking for suggestions on prep and type of paint to use, and as easy a process as possible. It doesn't have to be perfect, just look put together. Thanks! Also, I have a papasan (round) chair that I might eventually paint to match. Would spray paint be my best bet for the frame? I believe it is a sort of wicker.

What colors should my room be? Ok, I am 13 years old and I am going to get to paint and get new furniture for my room. I already got the new furniture, and now I am having a REALLY hard time choosing colors for my walls and bedspread. I am bubbly, bright, and optimistic. My friend says that my style is: spunky and funky. (Hah, that rhymes!! :D) The new furniture I got is all white. I got a bookshelf, a dresser, a night stand, and a headboard for my bed. The dresser, night stand, and bookshelf have black knobs. (The bookshelf has a drawer at the bottom.) The mirror has black around the edge. If you can't really picture what the furniture looks like, here are the links to it: Dresser: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20067829 Night Stand: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90121229 (that's not the one I got though the one I got is a square, not a circle) Book Shelf: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60089914 (except its whiter) So yeah. Links to beddings would be great. Thanks in advance. I want my bedroom to be a place where I go when I need to relax or think, calm down, to comfort myself when I need to, but yet still be a place I can go when I don't need any of that at all.

Green Decorating/revamping ideas? Hi. I'd like to get some things in my home fro like, goodwill. Like a filing cabinet and bookcase to help in my orgaization resolution.

And also, I'm looking into making a bookshelf or bed frame (wooden, like with a headboard and all) out of recycled materials. I live in Sandusky, OH so I'm wondering where I can turn to to get recycled wood? Like do you just walk into a factory or home depot and say hey you got any old wood? Haha. What do I do or where do i go to find materials?

Danger! Boring Room! I Need Help With Room Deco!? Hi! I've recently gotten a room of my own, after sharing it for years with my little sister. It's sort of smallish, with white plaster walls and a dark green carpet. My bed is in the corner with a white, wooden headboard. At the foot of the bed is a dark brown bookshelf, crammed with ornaments and books. Next to the bookshelf is a brown couch, which is front of a big window with peach-colored cortains. I also have a white wooden desk with a white backed chair. My closet is dark brown has the sliding type doors. My room is kind of 'blah' and I really want it to express ME. I'm not allowed to paint stuff, like desks or walls, I'm not allowed to put up posters, but I am allowed to put up photo album pictures of my family. My favorite colors are green and blue, and I'm lucky enough to have a green carpet. I also want my room to be colorful and bright. I have a green bedspread, a pink one with hearts, and a yellow one with blue, green, and red dots and stickpeople. Any suggestions on which one to use most of the time? Also, any little, easy-to-do ideas to make my room colorful and bright? Any suggestions or tips will help. Please no rude comments! I appreciate all answers :) Thanks and bye! See, I'm not allowed to paint my room because it's not OUR house. My dad's company owns it. So, yeah . . . And I can't put up posters because I'll ruin the PLASTER walls. The photographs came with this special thing that doesn't ruin walls. It won't work on posters :( Thanks! Just Another Day - great ideas! I will definetley try to do that. I live in this very modern city in Saudi Arabia and go to an International School. I'm sure I'll be able to find some artist who's able to sketch! Thanks!

Designing my bedroom, need help? I'm 12 and my mom is letting me redesign my bedroom. I think that's awesome, but the problem is, I need help choosing what to do for it!! We already bought the new furniture. We bought a bookshelf (I love to read), a dresser, a nightstand, and a headboard for the bed. They're all white with black knobs, if they have knobs. But I don't wanna do just black and white, and we're going to paint the walls, too, but I have NO idea what colors to do!!! I want it to be colors that I like, but it has to last me until I move out, so I have to REALLY like it. But I have no idea what I'm gonna like in nine years! We're going shopping today for the bedspread & paint, so I need to choose the colors fast. I like bright colors, but kind of a pastel-ish blue would be okay. I want two or three colors. I'm not tomboy OR girly-girl. I hate both. I have no idea what I am. I'm just...different. So, what colors????????????????? Link to bedspreads would be amazingly awesome, thanks. :):):)

How to brighten up apartment bedroom? I've lived by myself for a little over a year now, and ...now that I've decided my move is a little bit more permanent than I'd originally expected it to be, I'd like to spruce up my bedroom! It's VERY dull! Unfortunately, the room has a DARK GREY carpet throughout, as well as dark brown doors and closet doors (which make the room even DARKER). It's a really big bedroom, and I can't paint the walls - so they are just plain jane white. My comforter is reversible (striped on one side, one colour on the other). I feel like my comforter is a little on the childish side, now that I'm a bit older - so I'd like the room to tone that down while still accenting the colours from it (I currently can't afford to buy another bed set). I looked for a picture to show everyone here, but, I can;t find it! The colours on one side are orange, yellow, pink, red and a magenta-fuschia type, and the solid side is magenta-fuschia colour. The sheets are white with all those coloured stripes (thin stripes), as are the pillows, and the shams are thick stripes (like the reverse of the comforter). Sometimes I alternate to red sheets! My other pillows are the same colour as the solid side of the comforter Curtains are black (because...it helps to keep the light out the most, the sun rises on my side of the apartment building). I have an oak desk, headboard, dresser and nightstand. I also have a tall, thin white shelf (like a bookshelf, but very narrow). If anybody has any suggestions that would spice of this very dull, very boring room....please hit me with them, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please read and tell me if it sounds any good.? Junar is sending out Silents to obtain any unmarkables found. The Silents are reportedly going undercover as unmarkables to find other gangs, it was also reported that they have certified permits to enter into any building in Durium unless permits have been shown that the building is private. Junar assures this is the best way to keep trouble from Durium but other members of the high court disagree at his- Alea turned down the radio and glared sharply at me as I stopped washing the dishes. “Stupid maid.” She muttered from beneath her breath but clear as day. I looked up angrily at her, and roughly scrubbed the last dish clean placing it on the rack with a clatter. I stood from the stool I sat and walked loudly to the doorway. “You are only mad because of your beloved Hunry .” I spat back. Alea jumped at me but I quickly ran to my room on the far end of the hall I was near. She stumbled and held herself up against the yellowish wall as her foot hit the corner I had turned so swiftly. With haste I ran swiftly into my room and locked the door behind me quietly, I walked now slouched and tired over to my thin clothed bed and sat once more. I slowly took off each tightened boot and unraveled my ribboned hair, leaving the white silk ribbon in a bow on the headboard pole. I lazily scratched my worn sticky back and lay fully in the cool cottony sheets, they smelled of apple rose cinnamon. I snuggled my head quaintly into the pillow breathing deeply, Odelet must have been here while evening chores were to be done. I lay quietly resting for a long while wafting in the smells of apples Odelet had left, she always smelled faintly of apples because she seemed to make an apple pie everyday for someone in the estate. Thinking of her I wondered faintly if she left a small snack, I waited still in thought for a lone moment, then my tum started to grumble and I stumbled up and over my clutter to the small table on the other side of my well built room. To my joy I saw a small nicely wrapped box in the center, I hastily scrambled it open to find a small sponge cake with tiny strawberries laid neatly on top. I rummage through the draw closest to the table and grabbed the smallest spoon and started to dig my first, very petite, spoonful into it, a sudden faint but clear knock tapped on the old door. I close the box quickly and put it on the bookshelf facing away from the door as I scuttle to the wooden entrance. After the lock snaps I slowly open it and peek through. “Hailey its me.” A smile brightened my face as I let the guest in and closed the door swiftly behind him. “Is uh, Coops ok? He seemed a little… upturned the last time I saw him… I saw he was heading out somewhere but no one knew too much about it…” I walked over to the fireplace and put a log on the small already brewing fire, and then worked my way back to the table sitting across from Mud. “Oh…” his face vanished as he stared at the fire emptily. “He was out runnin’ an errand... You know the Mistress likes her fine jewelry, well they sent Coops out to Halins to get a poralene stone for one of the Mistress’s new necklaces. Real pretty stuff. But anyways, after he had got the stone he started headin’ back but those horses were mighty tired after the days ride so he had to stay in a farm somewhere just out of the city.” Mud paused. “Malid was there too.” I gasped, Malid only went places for something real important, and the Mistress collected stones all the time. It seemed odd as him being the second rider. “Well late in the night Silents rode in… They saw Coops hand first… it was the gold chip. The one his brother gave him from one of the most wanted unmarkable gangs. When the leader Silent saw it he just up and shot him to death.” A shiver ran up my spine as I heard the cold deathly words protrude from his mouth. “And… Malid?” I asked not trying to rush his story. “Well, I guess them Silents are trickable, which seems darn near impossible figuring they killed half of Gullopid last summer moon. ‘Cause Malid got away. And everyone knows he be a unmarkable…” he paused putting his gaze back on me. “Did you see what he did to Franks? He upright turned him blue in a blink of an eye. Franks be ok but it sure frightened him. From what I see, he ain’t to be trusted… Malid that is. Ain’t no one use their marks in public, specially some rat who worships ol’ miss tiny sandwich Weeden the mistress…” he smiled and chuckled slightly then his gaze turned serious again. “How long you think it’ll be before the Silents make it here?” I looked down at the worn table. “Halins is only three cities from the kingdom, and its only been a bit over a week since the search began. I guess they might be here in two days. Cause it’s a days ride on fast horses without stopping, but if their checking each house it’ll take twice as long.” I looked back at his orangey eyes and freckled cheeks.

how do you tip professional movers? We are moving out of a 3 bedroom 1300 sq ft apartment that is located on the 3rd floor, we have 3 couches and a love seat, a 4 shelf bookshelf full of books, 2 VERY large concert speakers, a 42 inch flat screen T.V. a king size bed & a full size bed both including frame headboard & foot board, and about 15 large boxes about 7 that are pretty heavy. So we have some strenuous and extremely heavy things to move, that also doesn't include our kitchen table that seats 4, and all of our glass coffee tables, and end tables. The service is 150 bucks for 3 hours, and they will load the truck, follow us to storage and then unload. I have NO clue how to tip these two gentleman, anyone have an idea?

Room decorating tips? fairytale/storybook theme? So, you might laugh, but i'm 15 and really need to update my room. its very plain and mis-matched. I really like fairy tales, and always have. I want my room to reflect this. Its a fairly small room, so not much room for much furniture. I cant get new furniture, but i currently have a wooden desk, a long wooden dresser, a white bookshelf and a black book shelf. my bed is just a single mattress on the floor. (im getting a box spring and a frame soon, possibly with a headboard and foot board, idk yet) its a square room, with three windows, and a bi-folding closet. i don't want to spend more than 200-300 dollars in total so i cant buy much, but im artistically inclined, so i can make things too. im particularly interesting in Tinkerbell, alice in wonderland, cinderella, and snow white (not necessarily disney, just in general) but alice in wonderland is my all time fave. any suggestions would be great. also, i can change the wall colour, but the trim and the doors are dark purple and id like to keep them that way. oh, and the floors are a light coloured wood.

i have a rle girly babyish bedroom..any remodeling ideas for a 13 yr old girl? i moved to my house wen i was 10 yrs old and i made it all girly and babyish but now im 13 and idk wut to do. my room is purple, i have all white furniture, a white twin bed with bars on the headboard and checkered purple comforters, a small white desk, a small white dresser with girly accessories and jewelry boxes on it, and a white bookshelf with stuffed animals all over it. its so babyish and girly and i m so sick of it. my mom wont let me get new furniture or make any drastic changes. any ideas for change? i wanna make it less girly and more classic and chic.

How can I decorate my room? All the walls are a light baby pink while the ceiling is white. My window has boring, blue blinds. There's a tall wooden bookshelf, painted white, placed in the corner. My bed is pushed all the way into the other corner (bad idea?) I have a dresser and a mirror headboard thing with that. I also have this big red fuzzy rug. The floor is wooden like this: http://www.anandinterior.com/pcat-gifs/p… How can I make my room more cozy and sophisticated? What colors would go well with pink? Thanks!

Bedroom Decor? My fiance and I are moving into our new apartment next week. We've decided that he gets to pick the decor for the bathroom and livingroom and I get the kitchen and bedroom. Any suggestions on the bedroom? It's fairly small. Pretty much standard size for a bedroom in an apartment. It has 2 windows on one wall. The cieilings are very high and the windows are narrow and nearly floor to ceiling. Walls are white, floors are hardwood. I have a dark brown headboard for my bed. Other possible furniture in the room: Medium colored oakish, very tall 5 shelf book case, 32 inch black tv and that's all I have so far. If the bookshelf will fit in the livingroom, I'll be putting it in there instead. Since it's possibly going to bein the b-room, I wanted to throw the brown out there, though. I want something relaxing. A color scheme that really comes to gether but isn't too theme-ish. Unless it's not a cheesey theme:) Colors, details, pictures win best answer:) Oh, and I cannot paint in there annnnnd I'm on a very tight budget, so cheap and lots of diy, nothing to perm, greatly appreciated.

I've become a HGTV freak... trying to find a good furniture outlet store? Hey there, My boyfriend and I have recently moved into a new home. I've always love home makeover shows. A lot of times you see the designers going into hotel outlet stores or other home outlet stores, but I never catch any of the names of these stores! Does anyone know the names of good outlet stores to buy cute furniture? If they need a little tlc that's fine too! lol We're really just looking for a "new" headboard/foot board, coffee table, end tables, bookshelves, and that sort of thing. Thanks :)

Living space, clutter issue? I'm living with my parents, and probably will be for quite a while, and while it's nice of them and all to let me live here for free, the atmosphere is incredibly unhealthy. Every house has its clutter, naturally, and I'm sure there are houses worse than this, but the real issue is that these people are also controlling and oblivious about it. They've always had a clutter problem. They always want to move to new, bigger houses. Both my sister and brother have moved out, and both their rooms have become storage rooms. Any time there is new space, it is quickly filled with food, or random niknaks. They'll collect furniture, particularly dressers and cabinets, and fill them with more food. I'm currently bedding in my brothers old room, on a queen sized mattress on the floor, and there is literally no floor space. The queen bed barely fits, stretching from the door to the window. There is one cabinet, two dressers, all full of food. On the top of the dressers is more food. Boxes of it. There is enough floor space for two boxes of food, containers of whey powder, beer, cake mixes, bags of rice, 2L bottles of soda, etc. The closet is full of food. Olives, sauces, crackers. There is a fajita grill on the top shelf. The only place for my stuff is literally on the bed with me, or tossed over the back of a chair I managed to scrape (literally scraped the wall) in for my cat to sleep on so she didn't get cat hair everywhere. The only reason I'm in this room rather than my actual bedroom room is because it's too full of stuff to live in. The bed is covered in bags of clothes they bought for my nephew, who's playpen is in that room also. There is food covering the rest of it, food on the headboard, food on the floor. There is no access to my bookshelves because there's garbage bags full of clothes, shoes or food. The only place for clothes in that room is in one shelf of a five shelf dresser (the rest are filled with childrens clothes), and on top of a boxed keyboard that they bought at an antique shop that has only ever been used as an extra shelf (same situation in the dining room with an exercise machine, it's a shelf). I'm told I can't have that room back, because they need it for storage, and for my nephew to sleep in, or for company to sleep in. I want someplace to actually exist, but I need some advice on how to go about it. I tried clearing out a room in the basement once, and after spending over 18 straight hours cleaning it, it looked the same as when I began, even though I'd thrown out 9 garbage bags worth of stuff and put more of it under the stairs. They acknowledge they have too much stuff, but continue to buy more. The most recent purchases were a 60" TV and a new dining room suite. Often they justify purchases as, "it was on sale", or, "we'll need a new set of this eventually", or, "I bought this to give to my friends / give the old stuff to friends." But it stays here, gets put away, and forgotten. How can I go about setting this straight? Even for just one room? I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew, and the whole situation is just hopeless. Just being here is depressing. There's no space to move around in, so I spend most of the time laying in bed. It's the only space I have to myself. I need somewhere to work. I'm sure if I cleared an area of the floor, put a mat on it, and designated it "the push-up spot", it would be covered in a box of food within the week. Some advice, please. I'm editing to mention most of the food is not edible, as someone said I should be happy I'm not going to starve. Most of the food is condiments. Sauces, mayo, etc. It gets collected because it's not used and is disproportionate to actual meals. I certainly won't go hungry if I enjoy eating popcorn kernels slathered in mustard.

What size moving truck to use? I have to move in a week and I am trying to pick a truck size at Uhaul but I can't decide. I have a small one bedroom apartment. I would like to move everything in one trip. I am trying to decide between the 17 foot or the 24 foot truck. Here is a list of all the furniture and number of boxes we will be moving: One full size bed 2 large dressers 1 small dresser 1 desk 4 chairs small dining table 3 medium bookshelves 1 big couch 1 king size Corduroy bean bag sofa 1 big tv tv stand 1 headboard 1 large framed picture 23 large tuperware storage containers 20 small-medium boxes of stuff 1 big computer monitor and tower ok, so that is all our stuff...should we use the 17 foot or the 24 foot to move it all in one trip? The other thing I need to consider is that the 24 foot truck might be a hassle to drive and park at the new place. We are also only moving 5 minutes down the street.
