I would give 10 stars if I could! Hugh and Pat were so great. They helped us pack up our van to move interstate. So easy and so great to work with. They made something incredibly stressful feel so easy. I could not recommend them enough. We have been very burnt in the past with removalists, these guys are the best!

Move heavy vintage sideboard up tight staircase

$200

Waterloo NSW, Australia

10th Jan 2026

Hi, I just bought a sideboard and I need help moving it from the seller’s apartment in Coogee to my apartment in Waterloo. They have it stored in a ground floor garage, so collection is very easy. My apartment is on the 5th floor, with lift access, but the sideboard will need to be carried up my stairs. This will be the hard part. The staircase is quite tight and has a turn halfway. I’ve attached photos of it to give you an idea. The sideboard is also old, very heavy and very long. It will need to be carefully wrapped for transport, including the five delicate wooden legs and the marble on top. This job will definitely require two strong guys who have experience with difficult moves like this. I’ve also attached a photo of the sideboard and below are the dimensions: Length - 223cm Depth - 44cm Height - 88cm Let me know if you think you’d be able to manage this. Thanks.

Nice guys. Friendly and honest. Recommended 👍🏼
