Moving furniture from the Succah into the house on Shmini Atzeret

Hi,

One may not prepare on one day of Yom Tov for the following day of Yom Tov. However, since waiting until Simchas Torah would greatly delay the Simchas Torah meal, one may move furniture from the succah into the house on Shmini Atzeres. One may even stand up folding tables, if leaving them folded up would make the house uncomfortably messy.

(Rama Orach Chaim 667:1; Mishneh Berurah 667:6; Aruch haShulchan Orach Chaim 667:2; Piskei Teshuvos 667 footnote 4)

Good moed,
Mordechai
