I called for a last minute move and they were able to arrive at my house ASAP and charge what they thought was fair, rather than the full price. Could not recommend them enough, extremely professional!
The whole team at Designed to Move MI was great! Stewart was very responsive, flexible and detailed in the initial evaluation and quote.

Negative Designed To Move Reviews
Design To Move damaged some of my furniture and assembled my sleep number bed wrong. My adjustable mattress doesn’t work. He stood me up at several appointments.
Shannon Hassler, Google
Would not recommend this company to anyone. They showed up 6 hours late, rescheduled my move, and we later discovered that they broke our TV. I am still waiting for a resolution.
Yelp
Movers showed up two hours after the new start time, came unprepared with no tools, and left furniture unassembled. Our grill, bar table, couch, and cover were damaged.
Neutral Designed To Move Reviews
The DTM crew was great once they got started, but they were over 4 hours late from the original estimate. The crew never called to give an update.
Yelp
The movers were prompt, courteous, and polite, but it took longer than it should have and there was a lot of cosmetic damage and some cracked shelves in my fridge.
Yelp
The crew moved everything quickly and efficiently during a huge snowstorm. One antique bookcase was damaged, and management did not follow up for months.
