Furniture Storage NYC - Picked Up, Wrapped, Delivered Back
Furniture storage in NYC without the unit:
URBIN's crew picks up your furniture at your door - walk-up or elevator building - wraps each piece in moving blankets, photographs it, and catalogs it in your app. When you want the couch, the bed frame, or just one dining chair back, you request delivery from your phone.
You never rent a unit, hire a van, or visit a warehouse.
For comparison, a standard 10x10 self-storage unit in New York City averages $271 per month (StorageCafe, 2026) - before the van rental, the moving blankets, and the friend who cancels on moving day. With URBIN you pay only for the space your furniture actually occupies.
Built for NYC Apartments, Not Suburban Garages
New York furniture storage fails at the front door - literally. The sofa that barely made it up your walk-up in the first place has to come down again, into a van you rented, driven to a facility, and carried once more into a unit. That is four carries you do yourself before your furniture is even stored.
URBIN removes every carry. Our crews handle walk-ups, service elevators, and tight stairwells daily - wrapping furniture inside your apartment before it moves an inch. Whether it's a sectional from a fifth-floor walk-up in Bushwick or a wardrobe from a doorman building on the Upper West Side, the process is the same: we come to you, and your furniture leaves protected.
No van, no unit, no carries
Your only job is booking the pickup window. The crew wraps, carries, loads and stores.
Photo-cataloged, piece by piece
Every item is photographed and listed in your app, so you always know exactly what's in storage - without visiting anything.
One piece back, or all of it
Need only the desk back for the new home office? Request a single item's delivery from your phone.

Tell us what you're storing - a walkthrough video from your phone is enough. We quote based on the space your furniture actually needs, not a fixed unit size.
We pick up and wrap
Our crew arrives in your booked window, wraps each piece in moving blankets and protective materials inside your home, and photographs everything into your inventory.
Stored and tracked
Your furniture is stored in our secure warehouse and appears item-by-item in your app, with photos.
Delivered back on request
Book a delivery from your phone - one item or all of it - and your furniture comes back to your door.

How We Protect Wood, Upholstery, and Leather
New York's climate is furniture's worst enemy - summer heat and winter cold make wood expand, contract, and warp, crack leather, and loosen joints. Protection happens twice at URBIN: at your door, where each piece is wrapped in breathable moving blankets (never plastic against upholstery, which traps moisture and breeds mold), and in the warehouse, where sensitive pieces are stored in temperature-controlled conditions.
For antiques, instruments, and high-value wood pieces, see our climate-controlled storage in NYC.
The Furniture We Store Every Week
Sofas & sectionals
Wrapped in blankets, stored upright where the frame allows, never stacked under weight.
Mattresses & bed frames
Mattresses bagged and stored flat; our crew disassembles bed frames, tables, and desks at pickup - no prep needed on your end.
Dining tables & chairs
Tabletops protected edge-to-edge; one Chelsea client's dining set has gone to storage and back with us multiple times without a scratch.
Wardrobes & dressers
Moved with contents removed, corners protected, stored upright.
Desks & office furniture
From single home-office desks to full apartment refits.
Pianos & specialty pieces
See our dedicated piano storage service.
Renting space for furniture the traditional way has a visible price and several invisible ones. The visible price: a 10x10 self-storage unit in New York City averages $271 per month, and climate-controlled units in the city run up to $1,805 monthly at the largest sizes (StorageCafe, 2026). The invisible ones: van rental, packing materials, tolls, and an afternoon of carrying.
URBIN charges for the space your furniture occupies - not a fixed unit you half-fill. Pickup, wrapping, and photo cataloging are part of the service, not add-ons.
