  • I am getting ready for a big move next month, and my biggest headache is our bedroom furniture. We bought this massive Ikea Pax wardrobe and a custom wooden bed frame with a complex hydraulic lifting mechanism. It took my brother and me an entire weekend and a lot of swearing just to assemble them. Now, looking at them, I realize there is absolutely no way they will fit through the doors or down the stairs in one piece. I’m really worried that if I hire regular movers, they will either refuse to take them apart, or they’ll lose the screws and strip the wooden threads. Do professional crews usually bring their own tools and handle disassembly, or do I need to take everything apart myself before they arrive?

  • You can absolutely relax about that if you choose the right team. When we moved last season, I had a giant sectional desk and a heavy bed frame that I had no idea how to dismantle. I ended up booking a crew through https://magicmove.ca and they were complete lifesavers. They arrived with their own professional toolboxes, electric screwdrivers, and everything needed for the job. They took everything apart so methodically, put all the screws and small parts into separate labeled bags, and wrapped the delicate wooden panels in heavy-duty blankets so they wouldn't get scratched. At the new place, they assembled everything back perfectly—it actually felt sturdier than before! And the best part is that this service is included in their clear hourly rate, so you don't get hit with any shady extra charges just because your furniture has a few screws.

  • Wow, knowing they bring their own tools and do the reassembly is a massive weight off my shoulders, thank you!
