Hello. I recently moved into a home that has room for a 7 ft table. I'm shopping around for a valley bar table. I plan to have a mechanic set it up for me but I want to disassemble and move it myself. Could any one give me a short overview of what is involved in this process or point me towards some information? I'm handy but don't know the first thing about working on tables. I want to be able to take advantage of some of the deals that are available further away from me and delivery costs would probably be prohibitive. Thankyou in advance for any help

Unless you don't have a dolly or enough strong people, you don't take a Valley apart.
With 2 or 3 strong guys you can pull the rails and the slate. Set the slate aside and carry the cabinet to the trailer. Once it's in the trailer, put the slate back in and go.
Wind the legs all the way up to avoid bending the threads.

Would the procedure be much different for other tables? Say a gold crown or diamond
Diamonds are generally moved using a special cart. If you were to get one, it would be best to hire a mechanic familiar with Diamonds to properly move the table. The table is loaded onto the cart, feet removed (or not) transported to the new location and installed/checked for level. I'm not sure how the new Gold Crown 7' breaks down or transports, but being as it is made by Global, I'm sure it is similar to those but I'm not sure. Brunswick never offered a 7' Gold Crown until recently.
Im just trying to get a feel for the feasibility of doing this before I get around to shopping. Like I mentioned some of the better available deals are a thousand-ish miles away where hiring someone isn't affordable. The room I have can fit a bigger table if I decide to go that route
I have a 1 piece slate Diamond Pro. We carried it around my house, from the front driveway though the side and backyard to the walkout basement door in 3 separate pieces (the rail, the frame with legs and the 1pc slate). It took 5 guys busting their a55. Looking back it was a bit dangerous and heavy as he11.

Scrap 2x6 lumber, a $30 set of wheels from harbor freight, a few carpet scraps and a heavy tie strap and you are in business moving a valley with a dolly just like a diamond. Total investment about $60.
As long as you have a hard surface for the dollies to roll on. No moving it over grass that way...
If its got to go across grass, take the casters off and use some long pipes as rollers and roll it across the grass.

Yup. You can also leapfrog two sheets of 3/4 plywood and not take the wheels off as long as the grass isn't too soft or on a side hill. Works great
Yes it does . I've moved a piano that was and even moved a fair sized shed using decent sized pipes.
