under the piece of furniture and pull the edge to move the furniture up the steps. if your steps are particularly steep it would be a good idea to have a friend steady the back of the furniture.
place a glossy magazine under the corners. glossy magazines can help reduce friction with the floor and allow you to drag the entire piece of furniture. you won’t damage the floor and you won’t feel the weight of the furniture nearly as much. however, you will probably destroy the magazine. having someone to help you lift up each corner of the furniture while you place the magazines would make the process much easier.
