55 inch TV - can I handle on my own?
I'm after getting a new 55 inch TV. Got the option for home delivery in a week's time or pick up from store on Tuesday. I'd like it on Tuesday but I need to get it up two flights of stairs. Anyone know if these things are too big/heavy/awkward to manage on one's own, or should I wait for delivery?
