Thank you for your replies. I have now found an Island with another Company. Due to the weight of the item, they do send two delivery people. They will bring it into the kitchen, set it up where needed and take away all the packaging and wrapping. Just what I was looking for.
I am under 5` and brought my big butchers block in with the delivery driver. One end at a time can easily be lifted and it has locking castors. No problems whatsoever re me being the helper. I can roll it easily and would most definitely take it if I ever moved
I honestly could not do without it, there are not enough worktops in my kitchen. Both my neighbours each bought one after me, all in different styles but the same size
I've ordered several large butcher block worktops, mainly oak but all were delivered by a single delivery person. I always made sure someone was here to help bring it in. Once it was in none of us could shift it on our own. One was 3 mtrs long.
I was about to make a purchase but then advised that the person delivering would need help with getting this into the house. This is a substantial solid wood piece of furniture weighing more than I do. No way can my 5 foot nothing frame cope with this and Mr J has mobility problems so we called off the purchase. AIBU in expecting that the Company should ensure that the delivery person(s) are able to do this without help from the householders?
