It's easy to move and carry dressers -- you take the drawers out first.   For
what it's worth, I will provide not only transportation for my old dresser, I
will personally carry it up your stairs.  I want it *out* of here.

(For many years my library subbed as a boys' room for two young boys growing
up.  I put masonite panels over/in front of my floor-to-ceiling built-in
bookshelves -- which held my not-inconsiderable collection of SF pulps and
digest magazines and a complete set of Ace and Ballantine SF books up to maybe
1970 -- and the room was filled with bunkbeds, dressers and Stuff.  The boys
are both now gone and a couple of weeks ago -- with the help of my 14-year-old,
who now lives with his mom elsewhere in Falls Church -- I cleared 12 garbage
bags work of junk out of the room.  I took down all but two of the masonite
panels, regaining access to my collection after 15 years, but I still need to
get the extraneous furniture out of the room.)
