What is the easiest way to move furniture upstairs?
You can use a hand truck, 4-wheel dolly or appliance dolly. If you’re moving heavy furniture upstairs or down, a hand truck will be your best bet. No matter which you use, you want to make sure the item is balanced on the dolly and strapped in using any lifting straps or tie down straps.
