Would transporting for Christmas morning down a full set of stairs be easy or is this something that should be build in the place its staying? how much room is needed for assembly

We moved up flight of stairs after assembled. Worked well. Two people to move. Couldn't be happier with this. Highly recommended!

In terms of transporting, i would say with two able bodied individuals it is possible, though cumbersome. It takes a good bit of time and room to set up. I had to lay out the pieces and still have room to work. The build itself takes at minimum two hours. Also, in case there are parts damaged in shipping or holes that do not line up correctly, i recommend building in advance. This will give time for kidcraft to overnight a part if it does not work. I can say that it is definitely worth the time it takes to put together and that i have since purchased additional kidcraft pieces. Moving the piece will not be as difficult as trying to pt together last minute, so i recommend anything it takes to get it together prior to christmas eve, even if it means using a friend or neighbors garage and moving it just before. Good luck!

It depends - If you have 2 people to move it down the flight of stairs. There are a lot of pieces - my husband assembled it in our living room....but I WOULD NOT recommend doing this on Christmas Eve!!!! So if that means calling a friend to help you move it down the stairs - it is quite a project to assemble and is not something that should be undertaken in the last hours...if this is a Christmas gift!

You need room to put it together, but the amount depends on how organized you are. The directions and assembly of this unit are a lot easier than previous KidKraft kitchens I have put together (4 all together). It can be carried with care, but should come downstairs well. We transported after assembled in the back of our Subaru and then carried into the house of grandchild.

Assembly takes about 1hr and 15m.-1hr and 30m. We put it together in our living room and it took up half the room. This kitchen is heavy (I believe the box said 70-75lbs?). It takes 2 people to carry it. We carried it upstairs for a "reveal" as well and it can be turned so it is narrow for the stairway.

With two people carrying transporting downstairs won't be a problem unless you have a kink in your stairs. If so, it wouldn't likely make the turn easily.

Easy, no. But not impossible, either. It really depends on the strength of those moving it. I would recommend building it on the same floor as it will be use, though. It weighs in around 70 lbs.

I assembled this at my house and then my son-in-law and husband loaded it into my son-in-law's SUV to bring to his house. We did not have stairs but a long sidewalk. I assembled this is our front entry which is about 8 x 9. It is nice to have space to lay everything out which is what I did. It took me about 8 hours to assemble this as I did it by myself over 4 days. It is a quality product and worth the $.

It depends on how strong you are, lol. It is pretty heavy, so I personally wouldn't suggest it... And it will take an hour or two to assemble ;)

Additionally give yourself lots of time to assemble, as in do it now. I had to reorder several parts that were damaged. Took me a total of 7 or 8 hours to put together. Not for the faint of heart.

It comes assembled except for the feet on it. With help from someone else you should be able to bring it upstairs

It's heavy in the box, not sure how much, but I would not be able to move it myself unless I had one of those two wheel dollies. I still think you need two people, 3 or 4 would be better - if you have some friends that want to have some fun! I paid for mine to be brought up a flight of stairs (over the garage). However. The price of this equipment is well worth the work of getting it to where you want it. It's Stott all the way, and will last you a very long time. Having someone help you put it together is a good idea as well. I did it on my own but could have used some help. Bottom line: I highly recommend this product!!

Pretty easily...for quick transport, I just flip the top and bottom rails over so they're parallel with the main vertical support legs, then the whole thing is flat for carrying. But it gets even more compact if you also take off the center support (just a quick unscrewing of the knobs on either side), then the whole thing is in three easily moveable pieces.

Hi. It can be a bit fragile on the stairs. But, that is exactly what we did. And since then have moved across the country with it in tact. Should survive a move up to a bedroom. :-)

The assembly was pretty easy. You don't need all the parts. You can assemble it to be low and you just attach it to the bed frame. Or you can use the extra legs to make it taller and then attach that to the bed frame using the bolts and washers. We kept it lower and it looks really nice.

It comes flat packed and will need to be assembled. It wasn't difficult but you may want an assistant as the cabinet has some weight to it.

Well, it comes unassembled. The box itself is heavy, but not terribly big, if memory serves. I think if you carried it up on the "end" of the box, you might be able to fit it. The other option is to unpack the pieces downstairs, and then carry them up individually. I think that any staircase that a person could fit through, the individual pieces could. Good luck :)

It comes boxed in a narrow box about 1 ft across and its full length of 6+ ft. Taking the box up a narrow staircase should be just file. But you will need about 5-6 ft of clear floor space where you intend to assemble it.. Good luck!

I put this bed together twice (before and after a move) and never really thought about trying to switch the stairs. The bed goes together like a puzzle and the instructions do not deviate from the standard design. Also, the design of the drawers and book rack may make it impossible, but it might be able to be done with some ingenuity. This is a better question for the manufacturer.

Possibly, but it's very heavy and pretty tall. It is one solid piece of furniture, you can't separate it as with a hutch and desk. Going through the doorways was very tough please measure your doorframes versus the size of the piece. I had the two delivery men do it, I don't think my husband and I could have done it, but in my house the front and back door both have steps.i agree with the other poster that if you have stairs you will need two men. A tip though: if you can manage to slip a blanket under it you will find it easier to drag than to carry. Or if you have a dolly, try that.

Well it ships all rolled up and compressed. I was able to quite easily hold the compressed mattress on my shoulder and ballast it with one arm while carrying other things with the other arm. I imagine it will be significantly more difficult to move now that it is decompressed simply due to the odd shape of a queen size mattress. But I suspect it would be easy enough to fold it in half, tie it around the ends and middle with some rope, and have two people carry it at each end. So my answer would be that moving is not going to be terrible difficult, especially for two people. Remember there is no rigidity to it, so you will never have problems angling it up stairs or around corners: simply 'moosh' it through.

You will need someone to help. The top section comes in one box and the bottom in another. You essentially have to put everything together ... from attaching the structural pieces together down to assembling the drawers and attaching the metal handles. Its a great piece but it is somewhat time consuming to assemble. Its fairly straight-forward as each big piece has a sticker with a letter on it and the hardware comes together without much force. I do recommend the product but, like I said, you will need someone to help you with assembly and even moving the boxes into your house when they arrive. You will need someone to help.

i was able to carry both in separately by myself. they are packed well. you could probably handle them yourself but if you have stairs you might ask one other person to help. they were also relatively easy to put together and i am no handy person. hope you enjoy them as much as i do!

It is mostly pre-put together. you need to do a few things like attach the pedals, but that's quite easy. I think it took me less than an hour to do it xmas eve.

My guess it is about 75 pounds. There are wheels on the front, heavy, end and a handle on back side for moving. Not hard to move but it would take some room to negotiate turns. The bike is about 7' long and a couple feet wide. It should be put in place where not needed to be moved. Of course we had to take it up to second floor which was not easy. Did that before assembling and reduced weight in box as much as possible and then slid box up the stairs. Assembly took about an hour and I am experienced with tools.

Very easy to put together. It actually comes with the tools to assemble it. You will have no problem taking the pieces out of the box and transporting it that way. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Good Luck!!!!!!!!
