We used this to carry appliances where nice new shiny hardwood prevented us from using an appliance hand truck. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I always have to take awhile to figure out how to get the harness on and the support strap secured so it won't slip.  Probably 5 stars for the product and 1 star for the dumb user in reality.  Would be nice if they stitched instructions on to the harness itself so I wouldn't have to go looking for directions.
