How to load it

  • It is too wide to stand straight up in here, so lean it against the side wall at about 35° and load it early, before other things take that floor.
  • It only goes through the 5'11" × 5'5" door tilted: two people, one at each end, angle it in.
  • Nothing should go on top of it; load boxes beside it, not on it.
  • Put it in a mattress bag first; standing it on its edge keeps it from being crushed.
