I don’t think age has anything to do with it…it is just plain HEAVY! I would guess it weighs at least 100 pounds. The best way I found to move it is to “roll” it around. We could help load it into a truck but unless you are quite confident in your weight lifting abilities I wouldn’t try to move this by yourself :) If you want to come take a peak at it you are more than welcome to…just give me a ring. 206-973-6091
