We used movers. They had a minimum amount that they charged, weight-wise. Which is why we brought our dining room set down even though we have one down here, to see which style fit better. Then we threw in a dresser and some kitchen bar stools. The rest were boxes. After giving away, selling, donating, we still have too much, but at least I know what we can keep after the new dining room buffet arrives and the kitchen people put more cabinets in the dinette area.
Some things I really, really wanted to bring down (mostly dishes and kitchen items, some decorative things) and knew we would be expanding our storage situation. I'm glad I didn't bite the whole bullet and have a bit of our old life down here with us.
