    Empty it before moving? Then use one of these:

    :D Thanks - Yes was planning on emptying, but don't think the wheely in the pic would help - it needs to go throught the door sidewards..

    Open to more suggestions

    Pssst don't tell anyone but I was assuming that you would put the END of the bookcase on the base of the barrow not the SIDE of the case.;)

    Cheers

    Edit: It will be very easy once you have the CofG over the wheels.

    :rotfl:The last time I looked in the mirror I wasnt the Incredible Hulk... but who know what may happen overnight eh :rotfl:

    I am not moaning, and have asked for help, but thought that if I could get wheels then this might help the situation for the future too!!

    "Dont make me angry... " LOL :)

    Hi,
    You want some carpet sliders, like these:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Polyglide-8-Piece-Furniture-Slider-Set/dp/B00167QLAY/ref=sr_1_4/279-9897085-7820046?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1264364965&sr=8-4

    I can't remember where I got mine, (was years ago) but they are very good. Just tilt the cupboard, or whatever back a little slip them under and then wiggle it forward, until you can get the back ones in.

    £5 says it will!

    Cheers

    Centre Of Gravity - balance point over the wheels. Requires tipping the sack barrow back towards you.
