NWR: Couch doesnt fit through door

My couch doesnt fit through the door of my new apartment. I really dont want to buy a new one. Does anyone know any place or person that will come to our house and take it apart and rebuild it? I got quotes of $350 for the job!!!!

Re: NWR: Couch doesnt fit through door

I come from a family of movers and they can get ANYTHING through a door. Did the delivery people try to get it through, or someone inexperienced? Did they try taking the door off its hinges?

I think it's too risky to have someone take the couch apart and rebuild it, it can destroy the couch. I would either contact the store you bought it from and see if they can send someone experienced out to assist. If not, maybe hit up a local moving company and ask if one guy (you won't need more than one, regardless of what they tell you, unless you're dealing with a sectional) can try to fit it through. Tell them you're willing to pay someone and see if you can strike a deal.

Good luck!

we had a similar problem moving sections of our couch out of my parents' house into our new apartment. We ended up taking the door off the hinges and then taking the inner molding/door frame off as well...it bought us a vital few inches!

ok this may be a really stupid question, but can you take the feet off the couch? I know you've probably already thought of that, but I had to ask because lord knows I've had incidents like this and not thought of something silly and then had a DUH moment!
