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

    Just thought maybe not as the bookcase is tall - where would my hulk like fingers go LOL? :D

    What about sticking on a large plastic sheet and dragging it ?

    You would need someone to steady it .

    How heavy is it .....

    Seriously it will be fine. One hand on the handle of the barra, t'other on the item to steady.

    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.

    Ooooh Thanks i'll have a look !

  • Hi,

    why not just take it apart again, look at the fun you can have re-assembling it.

    Thank you everyone for your helpful and (not so helpful) comments, they have made me laugh :D
