First, what on the wide wide world of sports are you doing that you need a concrete desk!?
Second, maybe a cherry picker/engine lift and some creative rigging and a few buddies.

One of our vendors makes a lot of concrete building products for us. One of their fortes is concrete furniture.

I asked them to build me a desk

What can I say! I like concrete

Next time I suggest making it in place.

How far are we talking about moving it?
Is it flat all the way from current location to destination?
Are there any tight turns or door ways that will require the desk to be turned in any direction but upright as it is now?

If concrete furniture is their forte, wouldn't they also be the experts on moving it into place for their customers?! I would think that with something so heavy that installation would be part of the deal, but what do I know?

to be fair to them, they made it for me for free, so moving and placing is my responsibility.
They're in Kentucky anyways!

Mostly curious if anyone had any gun safe or other piano movers they've used in the past that they liked....

Hope when you do figure out a way to get this behemoth inside the house, it's being placed on a concrete floor, and not any kind of flooring that's going to be damaged or destroyed.
