I'm only 5' tall, a little overweight, 67 years old with osteoporosis and live in a 3d floor walk up--lots of stairs. I bought a new countertop convection oven and had to get it up all those damn stairs but could not even lift the box, the box was more than half my height too. My brawny friends and relatives all live out of town so I didn't want to ask them just to come in to carry this thing up the stairs for me. So, I bought these straps. I didn't want the ones that go over your forearms because all I needed way to have my bones snap in half. As a younger person, I was able to carry stuff up on my back or on my head but this box was too big and unweildy. After spending about an hour trying to figure out how to put the straps onto the box (and then taking an hour break too sooth my rattled disposition), I did carry it up, had to do some dance steps around the tight turns but I did it! Of course, the box is now sitting in my hallway, with the straps still on it because my old convection oven hasn't given up the ghost quite yet (only a few more heating coils are functional though) and I don't know what to do with the old one once it dies. But these straps really work. I had no problems with unravelings or whatever some of the other reviewers said. Not sure I'd want to try lifting a piano or refrigerator though, even if the straps could handle it (I probably can't). Hmm, I am also a petitely built female so those straps were a little iffy on my shoulders, I could have used a strap going across my chest to keep the straps from sliding off--but I suppose I could just rope them on me, or maybe I'll never have to get anything large and heavy ever again. I hate it when my stuff dies on me, it REALLY ought to last forever.  Read Less
