Having spent the past three weekends moving friends and myself out of one house/apartment and into another, I've had a lot of time to analyze the difficulty in moving certain pieces of furniture.
It seems as though the nicer your furniture is (nicer means denser wood, higher quality construction, better design) the harder it is to move. Not only is nicer furniture heavier than what you would get at say a Wal-Mart or Ikea, it also tends to have less area to grip when carrying, which frustrates even the strongest of movers.
If I were into furniture design, I would make pieces that contain handles or areas cut into the wood for gripping. These areas would be discrete (perhaps they would be on the back of the piece), or maybe they would fold into secret compartments once the furniture is put in place. Another option would involve furniture with detachable soft grips that could be stored in drawers after moving.
I have no doubt this new line of furniture will increase the efficiency of furniture moving, and it will let the hired hands get their payment in pizza quicker than ever.
