Heavy furniture won't fit up narrow stairs — New York, New York
Large furniture (sectional sofas, king mattresses, armoires, pianos) often won't fit through tight stairwells, narrow hallways, or around sharp landings. Professional movers with hoisting/rigging experience can disassemble, angle, or use window-hoist techniques to get heavy items to upper floors safely without damaging walls or the item.
