How do you move a curio cabinet without breaking the glass?

Empty it, remove the glass shelves, secure or remove the doors, and wrap the entire case in bubble wrap and blankets. Move it upright and strap it so nothing shifts into it.

Should you lay a curio cabinet down to move it?

No. The side and back glass cannot bear the load lying flat. Always keep a curio cabinet upright.

What is the most fragile part of a curio cabinet?

The glass shelves and the large glass side and back panels, including the mirrored back. Remove the shelves and pad the panels heavily.

How to Move a Curio Cabinet

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A curio cabinet is almost all glass, so it is one of the most fragile items in a home. Emptying it, pulling every glass shelf, and immobilizing the doors is essential before it moves an inch.

Difficulty: Hard
Time: 45 to 90 minutes
Typical cost: DIY free, or $130 to $300 with movers
Supplies: bubble wrap, furniture blankets, stretch wrap, packing paper, painters tape, dish boxes

Pro tip: The small metal or plastic shelf clips are easy to lose; bag them the moment you remove a shelf.

Watch out: A curio cabinet has glass on nearly every side including a mirrored back; treat the whole piece as breakable, not just the shelves.
