Now here's a good piece of kit.
A bit expensive at £50 but does the job.
Not sure about the box it came in and no comments about the operator. Dog's cute though!!

Does the trick yeah.... I might actually have the handle bent upwards at the wheels for more sofa height though!

That's my wife's hand in the picture in case you're thinking "I have a woman's hands".... ;D My wife's looked at the photo and decided we need a new sofa.... So ultimately my punishment for showing a cheaper furniture lifter's gonna cost me a bloody fortune now ;D

£1.99 is a bit steep. Old crow bar and a block of wood will do the job.

John,
We need them to lift up the edges of heavy settees so we can place STICKY TABS under them, or even FOAM BLOCKS (only available from RESTORMATE!!! ;) ;D
