The tabletop determines much of the plan
Glass, stone and solid-wood tops can have very different handling needs. Give dimensions, known weight and construction details. Explain whether the top separates from the base and whether the seller will prepare it. Do not assume a large or unusually heavy top is suitable for an ordinary furniture collection.
Plan dining table & chair collection at your Blockley address
For a single furniture item, ask the Blockley seller for its travel dimensions and the route out of the property. A short drive to the buyer does not remove handling work on a stepped or sloping approach.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For dining table & chair collection, prepare: table and chair quantities; top material and dimensions; removable legs and leaves.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Count the pieces that are easy to miss
Include spare extension leaves, seat pads and detached legs. Ask how the chairs can be packed or carried without pressure on their backs. Measure the largest rigid section against entrances and stair turns at both addresses. Retain fittings in a labelled bag and specify whether assembly is requested on delivery.
Make the dining-set request complete
- State the table size when prepared for transport.
- Include every chair and loose extension component.
- Flag fragile tops or existing damage before handling is agreed.
