Furniture Placement and Floor Protection Policy

This page offers general guidance for placing, moving, and caring for gloqio furniture in ordinary indoor settings, with practical ways to help reduce everyday rubbing and scratches on floors. Read and follow the instructions supplied with your furniture, since they provide product-specific direction for setup and use.

Plan the Space Before Ordering

Before ordering, consider the route from the entrance to the intended room and the space where the furniture will sit. Check that doorways, hallways, stairs, elevators, room entrances, and the planned placement area can accommodate the item. Leave enough room for positioning and for ordinary use once the furniture is in place.

Think about how the furniture will fit with nearby objects and how people will move around it. Planning the route and placement in advance can make arrival and setup more straightforward. Product information on the gloqio website can help you consider the item; contact us if you have a question about a product detail.

Prepare for Placement

After receiving your furniture, check the packaging, included parts, and supplied instructions before setup. Remove packaging materials from the placement area and clear nearby obstacles. Make sure the floor is level, dry, and clean before positioning the item. Consider help from another person when moving a larger or heavier piece.

Place furniture on a stable surface and follow its supplied instructions and stated purpose. Arrange items evenly across shelves or other supporting surfaces. Avoid overloading furniture or placing concentrated weight in one area. An uneven surface or unevenly distributed items can contribute to instability, tilting, or wear.

Help Protect the Floor

Suitable furniture pads or protectors can be used where furniture contacts the floor. Choose options that fit the contact points and remain in place during normal use. Keep the floor and the contact areas clean and dry; grit or debris trapped beneath furniture can increase rubbing and may scratch surfaces.

Avoid dragging furniture directly across the floor. When it needs to be moved, clear the route first and, where appropriate, lift it or move it as directed by the supplied instructions. Larger or heavier items should not be forced along by one person. Take care not to twist or tilt a piece in a way that could make it unstable or put uneven pressure on its structure.

Keep liquids from sitting for long periods beneath furniture or around floor contact points. Heat sources, sharp objects, and rough items can mark or scratch furniture and floors, so avoid direct contact with them. Clean up spills and dry the affected area to help prevent moisture from remaining under the furniture.

Room Conditions and Everyday Care

Avoid leaving furniture for extended periods in direct sunlight, near strong heat, or in damp conditions. Sharp changes in temperature or humidity may affect furniture’s appearance, stability, or the areas that touch the floor. Keep the placement area reasonably dry, and avoid allowing liquid to collect around the furniture’s base.

When cleaning the surrounding floor, take care not to leave cleaning liquid beneath the furniture. Let the area dry before returning the piece to its position if it has been moved. Keep furniture contact points and pads free of accumulated dirt, and check that the item remains steady after cleaning or repositioning.

Moving and Rearranging

Before moving furniture, remove items from its top and shelves where practical, then check the route and clear floor obstacles. Follow the supplied instructions for moving the item. If the furniture is large or heavy, avoid attempting to move it alone by force; consider asking another person to help. Move carefully to limit sudden shifts and avoid dragging contact points across the floor.

After repositioning, check that the furniture sits steadily and that any pads or protectors remain correctly placed. Arrange items evenly again and make sure the piece is not tilted by an uneven floor or obstruction. If the product instructions include wall-fixing or anti-tip guidance, follow those instructions and consider the actual wall and installation conditions. If you are unsure about the appropriate fixing approach, consult a qualified professional.

Children, Pets, and Visitors

Keep children and pets supervised around furniture, especially while an item is being positioned or moved. Do not climb on, hang from, push, or pull furniture, and do not tug on nearby cables. Let visitors know to take care around corners, moving parts, and floor protectors that may be near the furniture.
