At ikeas price point you don’t even need to move the fueniture, just give it away and buy the exact same one in the new location.

I didn't spend $1000 on a couch set to just get rid of it if I move in a year or two though.

I realize some folks on HN have lots of disposable income, however even for higher earners its a waste of money at that point, I don't feel like it should be accepted practice to throw out furniture out with every move, particularly if you move a few times in a short time span.

I spent $1,100 on an IKEA couch and it has moved 3 places with me over the last ~9 years.

Assuming that you're able to sell it for something ($400?), it can make more sense to do that rather than deal with loading, unloading and the moving expense.

I bought the same Ikea coffee table three times in three countries (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-coffee-table-black-brown-0...).
