thanks for the tip!
Sure you can...he may need a woodworking shop to put it back together though
Have some going that way do your hauling. Have you talked with some like Yellow-Roadway LTL Carrier?
That would indeed be nice to find someone going that way. I posted on uship.com so maybe that will do it?
I have not spoken with that specific carrier but got a few quotes from others, but they're all a bit high (but maybe that's what it is), so was hoping to get a few more, or find someone going that way as you said.
If you are even thinking about shipping rates from 2018 and earlier--these no longer apply--so get your mind into the present.
Shipping has gone from an incidental expense to a significant expense.

LTL Carrier like Conway Roadway, Old Dominion, Yellow do less then full load.
Check locally for such a carrier.

This should ship on a pallet. Find a shipper that give a pallet price, won't be cheap but it's the safest way, go to a local furniture store and see if you can get a box from them for it, use a lot of padding and maybe build a frame that attaches to the pallet that makes a strong top for stacking.
Are the Chair a family hairloom, or not made no more?
Sell locally & buy new.
