For Single Items

writer Kimberly Drew first hired Solidarity Movers in 2018, when she moved out of her office at the Met Museum. She has since done five moves with the Brooklynbased company, including a lastminute job after another mover was unable to fit a custom table through a doorway. Drew called Solidarity (from $1 per cubic foot of boxes and furniture), and “they got a saw from the hardware store and sawed the legs right off,” she says. “It was the most elegant thing ever. They didn’t panic at all.” A few months later, when Drew moved to a different apartment, Solidarity again took the table apart, moved it, and put it back together. (“They came in and saved the day,” she says.) Digital fundraiser Liz Zaretsky also relies on Solidarity for moving single pieces around (from $175)—like a heavy three-seat sleeper sofa between rooms, then to her sister-in-law’s apartment. “We contacted a few movers who basically said they’d have to charge us for two hours to do this, which would make it weirdly expensive,” she says. “Solidarity was willing to charge us only for the time spent on us and were able to fit us in between jobs.”
