Geo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 My brand new 23" Ultimate KK arrived on Thursday, and my son Dan, came over after work to help move it. The delivery driver was kind enough to set the KK just outside the entry door. While waiting for Dan to get here, I removed the screws that hold the pallet cover to the pallet. While the cover isn't heavy, it is awkward to lift by myself, so at that point, I waited for Dan to get here. Once he arrived, it only took a few minutes to uncrate the KK, move it into & through the house, and onto the back patio. The process was very easy... There is one 4" step up at the front entry to the house, and another 4" step down to the patio. Here's the KK as delivered to the front door. I asked the driver to place it that close so we could go directly from the pallet through the front door. The KK was through the front door in a flash! I has has two partial sheets of 3/4" plywood. Thought we'd need it to protect the tile floor, but about mid-way thorough the house, we decided to just push it without the plywood. We didn't experience any problems doing it that way. Since we didn't have to lift the KK, we had to find another use for the ropes... Once we were finished clowning around, it was an easy matter to push the KK through the back door, and down the ramp to the patio. The KK in position on the patio. Isn't she a beauty! The he move went EXTREMELY smoothly, and only took perhaps 15-minutes. I couldn't be more pleased! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that you had to get the kk over the thresh hold at your house....how did you do that without the weight breaking it? I am wondering if going through my house would be easier than around my very narrow side of the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi Shuley. Sorry I'm so late welcoming you to the forum. Glad you've joined. The pictures don't show it well, but I just positioned the plywood such that the thresholds were near the middle of the board. I didn't do anything to protect the threshold. The plywood rocked up, then down as we rolled the KK over it. There was no damage to either the threshold or the track that guides the sliding door. I wouldn't hesitate to do it that way again. If I can be of any assistance, don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes on your purchase. I know you'll be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschaaf Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) @Shuley - also check out the picture of the shipping crate for the 23". I know you were interested in making a table out of yours. You'd have to pull off the KK boards then cut off the bottom leaving the top at whatever height you want. The hardest part will be getting the same length on each leg. Then trim the KK boards to fit the new diagonal.

bryan Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Use hose with clear tubes stuck in each end and filled with water to find level on legs. Water seeks its on level right? Edited May 25, 2016 by bryan seemed like a good thing to do at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
