Move an extremely heavy table from Parkville to Brunswick

$400

Parkville VIC, Australia

25th May 2026

This job will require 4 strong men to complete. The table has been dismantled so that the tabletop is separate from the legs. It is solid oak and the table top weighs around 200kg. It’s is no joke extremely heavy. (Like marble or stone). Unfortunately it is on the 6th floor of an apartment building and does not fit in the lift (we have attempted). It will need to go down 6 flights of stairs. This will require smart and safe removalists and the right equipment. Pickup location: Parkville VIC, Australia Drop-off location: Brunswick VIC, Australia Removals size: A few items Stairs: At pickup

Clayton was absolutely incredible. He and his team mate moved an incredibly big and heavy table (over 200kgs) down 6 steep flights of stairs without a single problem. He’s also the nicest guy ever. Highly recommend
