Any damage from the movers in the final 100 feet of the delivery ?

Depends on what I can claim! Just kidding, so far as I can tell everything is in good shape. I will e-mail you a picture of one of the recliner headrests to see if the markings are typical for that leather. Also, we went through all the packing materials twice, but one of the plastic attachments to the caster feet for the ottoman is missing. Is that something we can easily get a replacement for? Lastly, it's odd, but one of the recliners mechanisms is a bit slower than the other. Only noticed it last night when my wife and I were kicking up at the same time, and we started timing footrest races!

BTW - as you all know Duane has lots of experience and there's a lot of hidden wisdom in the posts above that we learned the hard way. We ended up renting another pickup on our first trip to H&M because the barstool boxes were nearly over the cab, and they didn't fit as well in a short bed when laid and tied down to prevent them from getting launched.

Also, height is a big issue, forget minivan with most of the boxes. Our measurement of a suburban interior also lead us to get a moving van this time around. I don't think the height would have worked in it either. Unfortunately, most 1 way rentals are going to be 10-12' trucks, the major companies I looked at wouldn't do any of the smaller vans. And in full packing crates, 2 recliners + 1 ottoman would not have fit in a van too, it was a super tight squeeze in the 10'.
