I am inquiring about those of you that have moved a Valley table upstairs, the trick is there is a 90 degree turn with 2 steps to go, has any one here done it? I do have quite a bit of space to make the turn if the table is laid on its end, but would like to hear from those of you that have done it.

I do understand that I could purchase a table with a 3 piece slate but I am not a huge fan of that style of table and also drop pockets are not my preference.
 
I am making the assumption that the slate is out and legs are removed. The biggest problem is the slate which you must be very carefull handling. It can be awkward making that turn. Everything else is easy.

If you are buying a 7 foot barbox you want to take the slate out before moviing it. The table weighs 650-700 pounds total. The 3/4" one piece slate is nearly half tgat weight, 300# plus. Take off the side trim which allows you to unscrew the rails. With tge rails off you can carefully lift the one piece slate. Have a helper. There is an aluminum frame that the slate rests on. Tip it up on edge and then lift it out. Carry it on its side, flat it will snap
Unscrew the legs from the box. That leaves the box to lug upstairs. Its heavy and akward, but 2 strong guys can lift it on its side. Sort of slide it with something under it to protect it.
It has handholds cut in the plywood bottom of base.
Good luck. They are dead weight.
 
reread your post

As far as the 90degree turn goes, you may need to get th barbox on end and just turn it. Again put a blanket or piec of carper under it to slide it around corner. Get a couple gorillas to help. Mine kicked my ass, downstairs!
 
I understand it will be task. The slate will be out as well as the legs being off. I have moved them before but not upstairs with a 90 deg turn.
