Most bookcases can be moved multiple times without any compromises to their structure. However, lightweight bookcases, while lighter to move, can also be easier to damage if snagged. Heavy bookcases will always be a bit harder to relocate but are usually sturdier and more resilient to bumps or accidents. You must always make allowances for damages that could occur when moving furniture. This helps you arrange for padding or other safety materials that help with moving the bookcase.
