I need to move a big screen TV down a flight of concrete stairs.
The TV is large, 4' tall, 2' thick and 4'+ wide. My guess is its
about 200lbs or more. When I brought the tv up the stairs it was in
its packaging, thick cardboard and we slid the box up the stairs.
Well, now we can't. It has wheels on the bottom that won't come
off. There is no where to handle the TV except the bottom. Does
anyone have any ideas on how to get it down the stairs without
destroying the TV? I am wrapping the outside in moving blankets and
duct tape. Maybe some kind of straps like piano movers use? Thanks
in advance.

Maybe...

1. Piece of 3/4" plywood about the width of the TV and a bit longer

2. Set TV on plywood

3. Nail a couple of pieces of 2x4 across the ply so TV can't move fore
and aft

4. Tie/strap TV to plywood

5. Slide and/or carry downstairs.
