Moved a heavy tanning bed from the garage to the back room, unbowed the pieces and then ended up just putting the whole thing together for me as well – above and beyond to be honest. Super friendly, easy to deal with, and just got shit done without any drama. Made what would’ve been a nightmare job on my own actually easy. Would 100% get them again.
