South Yardley, West Midlands
21st Mar 2026
Very heavy, slightly awkward to carry chest of drawers. I tried lifting it with two strong friends and they were able to carry it flat along the living room but not upstairs because of the awkward angles. The drawers themselves can't be removed as far as I can tell, and I don't really want to remove them if possible. I need at least two people who are a ble to safely carry this up two flights of awkward stairs (both have a tight bend). Preferably I think you would need specialist equipment to get these upstairs.
