Air-conditioned storage
Why Furniture Gets Damaged in Dubai Heat
Heat and humidity damage furniture stored in a garage, balcony or non-air-conditioned warehouse. Summer temperatures in Dubai pass 40°C, and humidity rises along the coast. That heat dries out solid wood until it cracks, lifts veneer, softens glue joints, dries and fades leather, and lets mould grow in fabric and mattresses. An air-conditioned unit keeps furniture away from those extremes, so it comes out in the same condition it went in.
Solid wood and veneer
Protected from cracking, warping and lifting.
Leather
Protected from drying, cracking and fading.
Fabric sofas and mattresses
Protected from damp smells and mould.
Glass and mirrors
Wrapped and stored on their edge to avoid pressure cracks.

How Is Furniture Packed for Storage in Dubai?
- 01
Dismantling
Bed frames, wardrobes and large tables are taken apart, and screws and fittings go into labelled bags.
- 02
Wrapping
Sofas and upholstered chairs are covered with breathable furniture blankets or covers, and hard surfaces get corner guards.
- 03
Wood
Wooden furniture is covered with blankets rather than sealed in plastic, so trapped moisture can’t damage it.
- 04
Mattresses
Stored in mattress covers, flat or on their side, never folded.
- 05
Glass and mirrors
Wrapped in bubble wrap and stored standing on their edge.
- 06
Loading
Heavy pieces go at the back and bottom, with space left so you can reach the front of the unit.
If you pack yourself, empty all drawers, clean and dry every piece, and keep a simple list of what’s in the unit. Boxes, bubble wrap, stretch film and mattress covers are available in our shop.

How much does furniture storage cost in Dubai?

The furniture from a one-bedroom apartment fits in a 50 sq ft unit, which costs AED 500 a month in DIP and AED 625 in Al Quoz. Packing, pickup and redelivery are quoted separately if you need them. See all sizes on our storage prices page.

A three-bedroom apartment needs about 100 to 120 sq ft, and a four-bedroom villa 150 to 200 sq ft. Send us a list or photos and we’ll confirm the size, or try our storage calculator.
Is air-conditioned storage necessary for furniture in Dubai?
Yes, for anything made of wood, leather or fabric. Summer heat cracks wood and veneer, dries leather and lets mould grow in fabric and mattresses. Every Smart Box Storage unit is air-conditioned for this reason.
Do you provide packing services?
Yes. Our team wraps furniture with blankets, covers, bubble wrap and corner guards, and packs smaller items into boxes before moving them into storage.
Can I store furniture from a whole villa?
Yes. Units go up to 500 sq ft, which holds the furniture of a large villa. For a full household, we usually recommend booking packing and moving with storage.
How long can I store furniture?
As long as you need. The minimum rental is one month, and every unit is month to month, so you can store for a few weeks or several years.
Can I visit my furniture while it’s in storage?
Yes, during opening hours: Al Quoz 3 opens Monday to Saturday from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm, and DIP 1 from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
