As you prepare to move into your new house, you might be wondering about the temporary furniture from base. Below is what they have available:
- Small Couch
- Small Chair
- Coffee Table
- Dining Room Table / Chairs
- Bed
- Side Table
- Wardrobes (2) - you keep these through your tour
- Microwave - you keep this through your tour
- Happy Light - you keep this through your tour
- Large Transformers (2) - you keep these through your tour
Essentially, it's everything you need to survive while you're waiting for your real things to arrive - we were very grateful for these items. In moving into our temporary quarters - there were a few things we either packed or wish we had packed. These supplement my original post about what we're happy we packed!
- Bed Linens including Mattress Pad: The base offers some very basic sheets and pillows. Our house was cold and the bed was a bit uncomfortable so we went ahead and bought a heavy duvet and mattress pad to make our time bearable. I would suggest packing these from home if you can - since ours are now duplicates
- Plates / Bowls / Silverware: We did not pack these, so had to buy a few cheap sets here so that we could make some basic dinners. It would probably be just as simple to pack these
- Deep Pan / Knives / Cutting Board / Prep Bowl: We packed a few basic cooking items that allowed us to make one pot meals (e.g., grilled chicken, heating frozen asian food, etc). These items made dinner much easier while we waited for everything
- Spices: We packed an entire box containing all of our spices. This was recommended because spices can hold up your entire shipment in customs. Ours sailed right through and it was nice to quickly have access to these
One other tip - we were able to send our quick ship through USPS. We mailed about a week before we left - so all of our things had arrived. We packed about 8 medium sized boxes and only had about 100 pounds of stuff - our allowance was 400 pounds - so pack away!
