Handling bulky furniture when preparing for a major relocation

Sorting out how to deal with bulky furniture before a relocation has turned into a whole unexpected adventure for me. Some pieces are too sentimental to get rid of, others are just too awkwardly shaped to pack without stressing about damage. I’ve been trying to figure out whether it’s better to disassemble things, wrap them as they are, or maybe even replace them later instead of dragging them across the country. It’s weird how an object you barely notice day to day suddenly becomes this huge logistical question once the move gets closer. Has anyone found a good method to keep things safe and organized without turning the whole process into chaos?
