I was a bit torn on whether I liked this product or not. It does work, and is one of the cheaper and simpler of these types of products, but often more hassle than it is worth. When you get the furniture on the moving strap, and are on level ground, it is the simple case of balancing horizontally. Its a bit more complicated on stairs.

This strap was not helpful in an apt style staircase (what we moved out of), and only slightly better on a more spacious house staircase (what we moved into). It was not helpful with many types of furniture such as a dresser or bookshelf. We only found it useful to move our four couches, everything else we tried we ended up carrying ourselves. All and all I was willing to use it a lot more than the guy helping me, he didn't like it and so we didn't use it long. He has a tall slender frame, and found that the shoulder straps wanted to slip off constantly. Not so much when moving the furniture, but right before standing up to lift the furniture.

Because of the type of furniture this is useful for, you will only find yourself using it a couple times a move.

I would recommend this for ppl who are older or lack the strength needed to carry some furniture, move a LOT, and/or have a need to carry the furniture a decent distance on level ground. I would also recommend this for people with patience, as this will undoubtedly slow down your moving process. That is, of course, a small price to pay to avoid an injury.

I would also recommend two changes to the manufacturer. One, have another short setting. We found the shortest setting still too long for anything smaller than a small couch. Two, some easy way to tie up or secure the slack rope when the moving straps are on a short setting. Currently, it drags on the ground and is a MASSIVE tripping hazard.

I gave it 3 stars because it is good for some moving, and is reasonably priced. It lacks refinement, and the ability to be used on a variety of furniture items and moving environments.

The Teamstrap is ok but not great. The biggest problem that I ran into is that the straps are not adjustable, so they were either too long or too short for moving most items. I would recommend a moving strap that is adjustable.

I bought this set of straps during our last move, hoping they might help out a little, if not provide some 'backup' while carrying my big-screen TV. They worked out MUCH better than I anticipated.

Moving the TV was a breeze. We slid the strap underneath the TV, then into the buckles, and stood up. That was it!

What really sold me was when we moved our queen mattress. The thing is around 100lbs. and a pain to carry as there is no good way to grab it. The straps made this SOOOO much easier. The mattress was still wobbly, but we didn't have to fight and strain to carry it.

My only real complaint is that the shoulder harnesses could be labeled for which direction to put on. That's it.

One thing to note...these won't work too terribly well for going up and down stairs. Sure, for the top person it'll be fine. But for the bottom person, since you're essentially tethered to the object you're carrying, it could get in the way.
