How to Shrink Wrap a Chair

Relocating to a new home can be a real pain. Along with packing up every household item and lugging heavy boxes and furniture out of the house, to the moving van and then to the new home, many belongings require special preparation. Chairs and other plush furniture should be protected from the elements, dirt and dust by a protective layer of shrink wrap.
