Pickup Questions
Is this a residential property?
Yes, it is. The rental items are stored in a pole barn in the backyard of the posted address. Please be respectful of the property, park where we direct you, and arrive at your scheduled time.
Do I need multiple people to load the items?
Multiple people are preferred. Each farmhouse table is about 50 lbs and 8 feet long, so two people make it much easier and safer. Help loading items will be provided if coordinated beforehand. Call 269-276-6775 to set it up.
What kind of vehicle do I need?
You need a pickup truck or a trailer. Cars, SUVs, and minivans will not work for our tables or chairs. Our tables are 8 feet long and our chair stacks are 56 inches tall. See the chart above for what fits in each type of truck and trailer.
Can I lay the chairs on their side?
No. Chairs must stay upright in their stacks to protect them. Each stack of 25 is 22 inches by 36 inches and stands 56 inches tall, so make sure your truck or trailer has room.
How many tables and chairs fit in one trip?
A stack of 10 tables measures 96 by 40 by 41 inches. Depending on your vehicle, you can fit up to one stack of 10 tables and, in an enclosed 8x12 trailer, about 125 chairs alongside it. Check the chart above, or call us if you're not sure.
What should I bring to pickup?
Bring ratchet straps (not bungee cords), moving blankets or pads to protect the wood, and a tarp or cover if you have an open truck or trailer. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring a second person to help carry.
Do you offer delivery?
Not currently. We offer scheduled customer pickup and return only, so you control the timing.
How long can I keep the rentals?
Every rental includes a 4-day rental period at one simple price. Rental periods longer than four days are calculated at checkout.
What are your pickup hours?
Pickup and return are by scheduled appointment, Monday through Saturday, 9am to 7pm.
What if it's raining on pickup day?
Please cover all items in an open truck or trailer, and avoid loading in heavy rain or high wind. If the weather looks bad, call 269-276-6775 and we'll talk through your options.
Not sure if your vehicle will work?
Call or text us with your truck or trailer size and what you’re renting, and we’ll tell you if it fits. No truck? Borrow one from a friend or rent a pickup or trailer for the day.
