How do i pack my furniture during long absence?

Hi, we are buying a new set of sofa (Leather), a new dining Table (glass top with steel/aluminium bottom) and a cot (wooden). We would be using it for 2 months. Later we would be going to a different place for 4 to 5 years before we get back here again and use this furniture. During this long absence we are planning to pack all The Furniture and lock it up in a room till we get back (after 4 to 5 years). Please let me know how I can pack these pieces of furniture and with what material should I pack such that once we get back the furniture is still in good shape as it would be today. Your ideas and suggestions would be of great help to me.

Just sheets/drop cloths to keep the dust off. I wouldn’t wrap in plastic as the leather needs to breathe. Also, don’t stack the upholstered pieces, it will collapse the padding over time. If space requires stacking the items, I’d build a simple platform (2×4′s and plywood) to place one piece above another.

It would also be a good idea to give all metal pieces a heavy coat of furniture paste wax to prevent rust/corrosion.

Make Room!) set in 2022 and starring Heston as a Manhattan cop trying to solve a murder in the overpopulated, overheated city…
