The company the Air Force contracted to move our piddly little lot of belongings didn’t take the time to unscrew the bolts attaching the legs to our kitchen table. They just broke them off. We were very young then. The storage company said “ no we didn’t”. Life lesson learned!

That pretty well describes our situation to a T

Are you sure they actually broke off the table legs? If they stood the table on its legs in the moving van, instead of putting it upside down, and then they stacked stuff on top of it, they legs would have broken off from the movement of the truck. We had this happen with a very large antique cupboard, the legs were weakened and they broke off as soon as they set it up in the house. It fell over and almost fell on my husband. the mirror on the cabinet shattered all around him.

When we PCSd from Germany, the company took down my wife’s German Schrank to boards. They ripped apart our wooden bar stools down to the stick. The movers who delivered and set up our stuff provided a statement about damage obviously done by the other movers when they disassembled our furniture.
