Its easy to move, but no way should you wait until Christmas Eve to assemble.........find a hiding place and get started!

You may need two people to move it just to avoid breaking it. Just assembled my daughters and will ask friend to move to her room. Give yourself about 1.5 hours to avoid being rushed and check all components work

take it back while you can still get your money back. will take you several hours to assemble and will likely have missing or broken parts. this thing is a piece of junk! not worth 25.00 let alone 125.00+. you are paying for brain washing advertising for your children when you purchased this product. it is flimsy and poorly made. money would be better spent on a quality doll house.

You probably can get away with just buying one Elf. You just want to make sure you move it as soon as your children go to sleep because you don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and remember that you haven't moved it yet. Been there done that! You may also want to make sure that you put the Elf someplace where the children can't touch it and also make sure it's stable because you don't want to have the children seeing the Elf lying in its side. Good luck!!

Once or twice probably. We built ours downstairs for Christmas, then moved it upstairs afterwards with no problem. Just kinda awkward.

Hey!! Order it asap! I ordered it end of August thats how excited I was!! It is heavy but not too heavy for a excited momma to move...my hubby and I opened it once we received the box to make sure everything was there and not broken...its even more beautiful in person....I myself can't wait till Christmas eve!!! You will be more than happy=)

No, it cannot be moved. Otherwise, it is a very nice and spacious desk. I like it a lot. A word of caution: The two sections are shipped in two boxes and they are extremely heavy. You will need at least 3 or 4 stout individuals to unload it from the truck. I live on a second floor and I hired professional movers to get it there. Good luck if you decide to buy it. A very handsome desk.

Very easy to put together. It actually comes with the tools to assemble it. You will have no problem taking the pieces out of the box and transporting it that way. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Yes. Please allow a few hours to put it together though. I made a bet with my wife that I could put it together myself in an hour on Christmas Eve. Finished it in about 3.5 hours. Was completely worth it because my son did the happy dance when he saw it Christmas morning!

My husband added a good suggestion. Take it down the stairs in pieces before putting it together. It my still the two people to get down stairs, but do-able in pieces. We do love this table!

We have ours indoors. It comes in pieces and you put it together where you want. Very easy to assemble and a beautiful piece of furniture

Although we have not done so yet, we hope to get a garage-sale wagon to easily move the inflatable, storing it in our garage. We DO love it...! Never had a shortage of helpers to move it ;-)Also need to consider Tommy's mice concern....right now it's behind a chair in our sitting room...

Hello Anna. It's not the most portable thing. However, it is very easy to collapse the legs, and then move it around inside. There is a single bar keeping the legs apart, and when you unclick that you can bring the legs together. I've done this a couple of times to move it from downstairs to upstairs. I would not want to do that every day though, since its still pretty big.

Our's is still wrapped up waiting for Christmas. Nervous about that now! It will be in our gameroom on pergo flooring and will have a mat between the legs.

If you don't have a "dolley" to place it on so you can wheel it in, not to worry. Use leverage to move this box....stand it up and walk it...stand behind it and move one side of the box forward then the other. You'll get it to where you want it without breaking the back. And once assembled, walk it the same way to where you want it. But what really is handy is after you've assembled it and it's still laying down, place those "move thingies" that you can get at Home Depot, Lowe's or even here at Amazon...they stick to the bottom and then you can just push it along like it weighs a feather.

We had it up over Xmas at my Mom's and it is still at their house, but now it's back in the box. I don't think they'll be willing to haul it out. Sorry, I don't remember that detail. Seems like it was bent, but I couldn't be certain.

I agree the instructions were pathetic, but once you see it, it is simple, so I will try to describe it to you. First, the elevator itself should already have snapped into place so it goes up and down freely. There is a box-like location that will allow it to go up and down freely. Next, the string will need to be straightened out end-to-end all the way...there is no doubling of it anywhere. You will notice that each of the end pieces inserts into one side of the elevator or the other, top and bottom, and each end is different, so make a note of which one is which. Now from underneath, you will feed the bottom side of the string through the hole (roughly bottom left) that is the roughly the size of a quarter from underneath (I was purposefully redundant) the dollhouse and snap it into place. Run the excess underneath the dollhouse to the front through the little slot that is at the very bottom, about 1/2 inch to the left of the front column. Run the excess up the three guide holes that are directly in front of the left columns, up over the top of the roof, dropping down through the center hole into the elevator shaft, and snap the other connector into the top center of the elevator. From there use the jewel to move it up and down, taking it out of the guide holes as necessary. I will note that if you have any trouble getting the fireplace to work, there is a button directly behind the T.V. button that makes it work. The fireplace is probably detached from the wall, and snapping it back into place will make the T.V. button activate the fireplace. If you GENTLY pull the top of the fireplace forward, you can see there are two hooks on the back wall. Re-seat the fireplace on them by gently pushing back until they click and you will be all set. My 5-year old got this from Santa this morning, and she is loving it. Merry Christmas.

I have not moved this piece before but I have had pressboard furniture and I recommend TAKING APART before you move it. Trying to move it intact is likely to bust the screws threw the wood. But it was very simple to assemble as long as you mark your parts.

It does not come assembled, but it's very easy to do. I was able to do so quietly on Christmas eve with a toddler (who was receiving this from Santa) trying to fall asleep in the next room over.
