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 around your Southam access
For Southam home moves, include the full CV47 address and distinguish a town-centre property from an outlying address. If Wood Street is suggested as a meeting point, explain where the furniture actually leaves the building and how far it must be carried. Confirm key access and any shared driveway arrangements before agreeing arrival.
Measure the item in its travel condition and the tightest doorway or turn. Ask the seller to confirm what can be dismantled and who will prepare it before collection.
- Use the full CV47 address and distinguish the goods entrance from any Wood Street meeting point.
- For dining table & chair collection, prepare: table and chair quantities; top material and dimensions; removable legs and leaves.
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.
Your Southam enquiry checklist
- For dining table & chair collection, have these details ready: table and chair quantities; top material and dimensions; removable legs and leaves.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV47 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
