    Moving...need storage advice

    I am going to be moving back to my parent's home in April and I will need to store some of my furniture.  I am looking at Public Storage, an outdoor, individual garage-like storage facility.  I was looking at indoor Public Storage, but it is out of my price range.  Will my leather couch be okay stored outdoors?  I have a variety of other furniture, like wood end tables that I think will be okay, but I don't know anything about the leather.  It will be stored for up to 18mo. and through an IL winter.

    It's humidity that will kill furniture -- and you can have cold humidity too/dampness --

    You could try wrapping it up or something--buy a mattress cover and see if it will fit around the couch, then tape it shut.

    I don't have any other ideas for you.
