If you're moving, floor lamps can be cumbersome to pack, but these tips will help. First always remove the lightbulb so it doesn't shatter. Second, if there is a lampshade, remove it, and pack it separately; pack it in a box so it doesn't bend or break. If possible, take the lamp base apart and wrap it bubble wrap. If it doesn't come apart, wrap the cord around the center pipe, and be sure to add padding to all the fragile parts.
