In September 2026, Phil’s Furniture Freighters delivered and positioned a handcrafted Christian Cole live-edge dining table in Balwyn North.

Furniture of this size and finish needs more than a quick doorway drop. The tabletop, natural edge, base and surrounding home all need to be protected while the piece is carried in and placed where it belongs.

Careful handling for a substantial timber table

Christian Cole handcrafts custom timber furniture in Melbourne. The table’s natural edge and individual timber character are central to the maker’s work, so protecting those details was part of this delivery.

Live-edge furniture has character in every line of the timber. That natural shape is part of what makes the table special, but it also calls for controlled handling through doorways and around walls, floors and other finished surfaces.

We plan the carry before moving a large piece, use suitable protection in the truck and take the time to orient it properly in the room. The aim is a clean, calm delivery with the furniture ready to use before we leave.

From furniture maker to the customer’s room

This delivery is a good example of the service we provide for furniture makers, retailers, designers and homeowners. Our new furniture delivery service can include careful placement, basic assembly, unpacking and packaging removal where arranged.
